Tim Southee to Kasun Rajitha
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There is the last wicket! That is the end of the game. It did take some time for the Kiwis to clean up the tail but they have ensured there will be no Day 5. This is on a length and outside off, Kasun Rajitha pushes at it, it goes off the outside edge to Daryl Mitchell at third slip. New Zealand WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 58 RUNS!
