Brendan McCullum shared stands of 53 with Martin Guptill (17) and 96 with Jesse Ryder (38) for the first two wickets, stroking 12 boundaries and two sixes before he was out in the 37th over, hitting medium pacer Hanvir Baidwan directly to Ruvindu Gunasekera at extra cover as he tried to lift the run-rate.

In a stunning onslaught after McCullum’s dismissal, Taylor contributed 51 runs to a fourth-wicket partnership that produced 69 runs in 4.1 overs, including 28 in one over against Baidwan when he belted four sixes and a boundary.
