Inswinging opening delivery from left-arm Kabua Morea to get us going, Allen blocks it out.

How long do we reckon this lasts then? Eight overs? Ten? Twelve?

Finn Allen and Devon Conway are out in the middle, we're about to find out.

It wasn't an easy wicket and if a bowler says that, it means there's a little bit going on. A bit up and a bit down it really is difficult and not an easy task for the Papua New Guinea batters.

This is Trent Boult's last appearance for New Zealand in T20, but how many of this squad will be at the next World Cup in two years time?

Mark Chapman (30 next week), Glenn Phillips (27), Finn Allen and Rachin Ravindra (both 25) are the only players under the age of 32 in this 15-man group.

It's a team on the verge of a serious refresh.

New Zealand bowler Trent Boult: "It feels a little bit weird, a few emotions obviously the last couple of days. Gutted to not go any further, but I'm very proud of what I've done with the Black Caps and sad it's my last day with New Zealand.

"I've shared a dressing room with Tim Southee for well over a dozen years. It's a partnership I've enjoyed forming, and we're very good friends off the field."

On his last delivery: "It was a bit weird, I chose a yorker - an attempted yorker. It's a great stage to be on, and I've enjoyed the last few days and that's all that matter

"Mixed emotions in the camp, we didn't start the way we wanted. We were off the boil, and T20 is a short format."

On whether this is his last game for New Zealand: "I haven't thought much further than this, I'm in no position to comment right now. I enjoyed being out there one last time."

Thanks Stephan.

I've been plying him with brews the past few days despite not drinking tea myself - that is the very definition of generosity in my book.

Speaking of generous, here's Mike Peter.

This is the win predictor. Generous to PNG, I'd say.

Trent Boult is being interviewed. He says he's "not sure" if he will play for New Zealand again.

Trent Boult is all done. Four overs, 2-14. What a bowler.

Trent Boult is scurrying in for what could be his final over in a New Zealand shirt.

Two to go. 11 from that Sodhi over makes three figures more likely, though still quite unlikely.

PNG 73-7published at 17.3 overs

17.3 overs

Now then. Where has Norman Vanua been? Ish Sodhi is belted down the ground for six.

In case you missed it earlier, Lockie Ferguson bowled four overs without conceding a run. He also snaffled three wickets in the process. Take a look...

I guess the only question here is which of the threes will be used up first. The three remaining overs or PNG wickets.

Not quite short enough to pull and he was backing away. He'd have liked to have ended the innings with a flourishing boundary or two, but it was not to be.
