5.3  Philander to Neesham, OUT, beauty. Neesham was looking to defend into the covers
playing for the ball swinging in to him, but it kept going with the angle across and

kissed his outside edge through to the keeper.

Philander to Guptill, OUT, whoops. This was always going to look bad on the scorecard if he didn't carry on and play a long innings. Guptill goes after another outswinger, this time closer to off stump. He was looking to hit over mid-on, maybe, and it takes his outside edge through to the keeper. Poor choice of shot, and the pressure of all those dot balls seems to have gotten to him

Philander to BB McCullum, SIX, and another. Philander shortened his length, and McCullum said

thank you very much and pulled it away over the deep midwicket boundary

Philander to BB McCullum, SIX, wow.
