Dhaniram, who retired hurt, doesn't bother to come back out to bat and that completes proceedings at St Lucia, with a comprehensive victory for New Zealand. They are certainly looking like strong contenders at this early stage of the competition. Canada's performances in the group just got better, however, and they did very well today, giving the Kiwis some decent practice. Davison was at his brilliant best, too, with some entertainment early on.

Thanks ever so much for joining us today, hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. Do come back tomorrow when India take on Sri Lanka in a must-win game for them, while West Indies play Ireland in what promises to be another interesting match.

Patel to Osinde, OUT, another bowled, that one clattering into the off stick, the No 11 driving with a straight bat and missed that one completely

Patel to Sandher, OUT, well bowled and Patel has to hold both hands up in appeal to confirm the wicket. Full delivery and Sandher swooshes at that one, misses, and the ball just clips the off stick on the way through to the keeper

Mason to Sandher, 1 run, high full toss, at an awkward height and coming straight to the batsman, who does well to pick that one out to square

Mason to Sandher, no run, on a good length, on off, and that's defended back to the bowler who mock-shies it back to the keeper, but doesn't release

Mason to Cummins, no run, wide down off and dying - Cummins gives a headrush of a game swoosh at that one, but connects only with air
