So Guptill and Williamson just got a world record 20-20 partnership of 171 runs - nice work.

12 runs were extras.

Kinda weird that the partnership total includes extras - it's not as though the batsmen were responsible for those ...

Extras can include byes, leg byes etc which can be influenced by a batsman's actions. It can be argued that the pressure of bowling to certain batsmen can cause bowler mistakes.
