The carnage started with Shaw smashing the bowler towards mid-wicket and as result of that, Southee bowled short of length on leg stump and again the batsman was ready to smash it over the fine leg boundary. The next two balls were the copy of each other as Southee bowled marginally short and Shaw stayed on the back foot to cut it past point.
