- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 a slog across the line, Guptill groans audibly as he realises he has top-edged a half-tracker. One hand comes off the bat as the ball spirals to Vince at deep square leg, and a fine innings comes to an indecent end 85/32.4 nailed him! Sucker ball from Curran, right up to the pads, taking advantage of Munro's premeditated movement to the pitch of the ball, and though he was a long way down, the yorker length left the umpire in little doubt as he wafted futilely across the line 23/16.3 gone! Mahmood has his maiden England wicket! A bit of a cutesy attempt at a dinky reverse-scoop, but there's less pace on the ball that Seifert had anticipated. Billings has oodles of time to shuffle round and gather a thin deflection down the leg side 57/210.1 right up to the pads, and that's a stunning first-ball wicket! Never mind pace off and all that malarky, just aim for the top of the timbers and that'll suffice in any format! A waft across the line, beaten for pace apart from anything else, a thin deflection off the top of the front pad, and back goes the off peg! 96/417.4 huge appeal and gone! A low full toss, tailing into the stumps, a wild hack from Taylor, who had walked across his stumps to open up his options, but ended up giving the umpire a very easy decision 151/613.5 ... and there's the sucker blow! A rare fuller length ball, Mitchell climbs greedily into a mow through the line, but can't get his timing right... it's a breezy day, but no mistake in the deep from Jordan at long-on! 121/519.6 cut to backward point, and what's all this about? England barely react, they believe it's a simple catch ... and they are reviewing! It was an open face on impact, clipped the corner of the bat after pitching, and that's clearly out. Jordan wraps things up with his third wicket of the innings 176/817.6 swiped high, a rash, desperate hack across the line, as Santner aims a shot to nothing... and top-edges his slog to Brown at long-on! 151/7Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL176/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Colin Munro, 2.4 ov), 2-57 (Tim Seifert, 6.3 ov), 3-85 (Martin Guptill, 9.1 ov), 4-96 (Colin de Grandhomme, 10.1 ov), 5-121 (Daryl Mitchell, 13.5 ov), 6-151 (Ross Taylor, 17.4 ov), 7-151 (Mitchell Santner, 17.6 ov), 8-176 (James Neesham, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 oh my, he's spooned one straight up to wide mid-on! Whadda start for New Zealand! Southee starts with a fairly gentle outswinger that pitches on off stump moving away. Bairstow looks to whip it through the leg side, but doesn't get much of it at all and Daryl Mitchell couldn't hope for an easier catch. 0/111.3 slider out the front of the hand from over the wicket, fairly wide outside off, Malan looks to thrash it over long-off... but can only find Guptill who takes a sharp catch diving forwards! New Zealand's spinners are putting the brakes on 93/61.2 and another! There's a man out at deep point, Ferguson bowls a length ball outside off and Vince throws the kitchen sink at it, but hits it straight into the hands of Santner on the fence! 3/24.5 has another swipe at this, but he's gone this time! Fullish ball just outside off stump, sliding across him from over the wicket. He looks to slug this over long-on but doesn't get all of it, and miscues it straight down Colin the Bigman's throat at long-on! 40/38.2 tossed up, a touch fuller, Billings looks for another heave-ho towards long-off but doesn't time this one... and CdG snaffles it! 64/410.5 very wide on the crease, slides it across Curran outside his off stump. He slogs this, trying to wang it over long-on but only manages to find that man CdG on the fence who takes another good catch. England five down and in a bit of bother again... 91/516.6 looks to go again, runs his fingers down it again, Gregory doesn't read it this time and slices this straight up to mid-off in the circle where de Grandhomme takes his fourth catch of the afternoon! 144/815.6 tossed up on off stump, Jordan looks to go again but hasn't got enough on it... and Guptill takes an easy catch! Not this time for CJ, who has single-handedly kept England in the game, as the fielder snaffles this running round at long-on. 134/719.5 bowled 'im! The first not-caught dismissal of the innings, Rashid has a big old swing at it and looks back to see his off stump flying 155/1017.3 oops, not this time! Length outside off, Mahmood looks to work it through the leg side but is late on it again, gets a leading edge, and it spoons up to cover where Southee takes a simple catch 148/9Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL155 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.81)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Jonny Bairstow, 0.1 ov), 2-3 (James Vince, 1.2 ov), 3-40 (Eoin Morgan, 4.5 ov), 4-64 (Sam Billings, 8.2 ov), 5-91 (Sam Curran, 10.5 ov), 6-93 (Dawid Malan, 11.3 ov), 7-134 (Chris Jordan, 15.6 ov), 8-144 (Lewis Gregory, 16.6 ov), 9-148 (Saqib Mahmood, 17.3 ov), 10-155 (Adil Rashid, 19.5 ov)
