This game is kind of winding down to a conclusion.
NZ 108-2
Need 17 from 24 balls
Kane Williamson is an absolute joy to watch. He picks up another boundary with a beautifully-caressed drive through the covers.
He is somehow on 35. It feels like he has barely played a shot.

That over might have been the last knockings for Afghanistan.
NZ 101-2
Need 24 from 30 balls
Oh! A bit of luck for Devon Conway and New Zealand.
He sweeps again, but one hand comes off the bat and as a result he top-edges towards deep square leg but it is well short of the fielder.
And again! This time is goes over the head of short fine leg for a couple.
Rashid Khan finishes with 1-27 from his four overs. New Zealand have handled him well.
NZ 95-2
Need 30 from 35 balls
Four more.
Devon Conway loves to sweep. It is the reverse this time but it is the same result.
This is Rashid Khan's final over, by the way.
NZ 91-2
Need 34 from 36 balls
Three singles end the over.
Really good over for New Zealand with 13 coming off it.

They are just starting to take complete control of this chase now.
NZ 88-2
Need 37 from 39 balls
Pressure was building on Devon Conway with just six from 12 balls against his name but this will help.
He chips over the covers for a couple before crunching two successive sweeps away to the boundary.
He's now 16 from 15 balls and New Zealand's required run-rate is below a run-a-ball all of a sudden.

Gulbadin had bowled very well until then, but just overpitched and that is the boundary they needed off that over.
NZ 78-2
Need 47 from 42 balls
Kane Williamson has just settled things down slightly again.
He finds the boundary again with a beautiful cover drive and he is up to 26.
One big over of 12-plus and New Zealand should coast this.

Conway is finding it quite difficult out here.
NZ 70-2
Need 55 from 48 balls
That is a serious shot. Kane Williamson goes deep in his crease and whips Rashid Khan through mid-wicket for his first boundary.
If Williamson is there at the end New Zealand win. Afghanistan need to get him out.

Oh wow!
I said that Hamid Hassan beat the outside edge of Devon Conway but we've just seen UltraEdge and there is a tiny little feather on it.
There was no appeal whatsoever.

It was a change of ends for Rashid Khan.
Here's how he picked up the wicket of Martin Guptill.
NZ 63-2
Need 62 from 54 balls
Two singles end the over.
Hamid Hassan beat Devon Conway's outside edge with an absolute beauty during that four-ball dot-ball spell by the way.
The required run-rate is up 6.88. Sneaking up.

That run rate is just starting to creep up here.
NZ 61-2
Need 64 from 56 balls
Four dots to start the over...
The pressure is building on Devon Conway and New Zealand.

Mohammad Nabi sees it differently to Alex.
Rashid Khan is out of the attack. Back comes the pace of Hamid Hassan.

If I was captain, it's a do or die, I'd be going all in and putting on my best bowlers now.
