4.42pm Well, hats off to Liam Livingstone. From 8 for 3 and ignominy looming, Livingstone's longest innings in his international career has given England a real shot in this reduced game. New Zealand will need 226 in 34 overs, and as Trent Boult proved with his riotous new-ball display, the conditions aren't the easiest. Mind you, we said that in Cardiff too, and New Zealand munched that run-chase. What will they come up with today? Himanshu will be here to tell you shortly.

Aman: "Malan is scoring, Brook is fighting, Livingstone brings variety, Roy is a World Cup Winner. Would be so harsh to leave either of them!" Think that innings has ended at least one of the arguments!

RajD: "England's No. 9 comes with a 25 average and whacks the first ball for a SIX! This is the new world of cricket and what other teams are waking up to!"

Southee to Livingstone, 2 runs, low full toss, clipped hard to deep square leg, Livingstone hurtles back for the second and just gets back for the red-inker!
33.5

Southee to Livingstone, 2 runs, full toss on the pads, and Livingstone can't get it away! Shin-high, and flapped behind square to the sweeper...

Well... how big do you like your wind-ups

33.4
1
Southee to Willey, 1 run, wide line, thumped out to deep point for the single. Livingstone has the strike. And a century in the offing!
33.3

Southee to Willey, SIX, a swing down the ground it is! Willey crashes hard over long-off, Mitchell is on the rope and clings on well, then seems to relay the ball back into play, but did he touch the rope in the process? His lack of celebration implies the latter. Indeed, there's a clear movement on the boundary sponge! World Cup final vibes!

Willey can thump it from the get-go. Swing for the hills, or dink for the single to give Livingstone a chance to lump it?

The end of a very important knock, and partnership

33.2
W
Southee to Curran, OUT, a shimmy at the pitch, looking to dink the angle over the keeper. But Southee follows him well, full length outside off, Curran's leg-side scoop ends up as a readjusted nudge over the off-side instead, and short third pockets a simple catch

SM Curran c Boult b Southee 42 (60m 35b 1x4 2x6) SR: 120.00

33.1

Southee to Curran, FOUR, skewed out through deep point! Ungainly but effective from Curran, a slower ball from Southee, into the pitch, high on the bat and away to the rope

Six balls to come. Curran on strike

Boult to Livingstone, 2 runs, full toss, outside off, belted along the ground to long-on

Aman: "This must be easily Livingstone's longest inning in internationals" It's going to be close to twice as long as his previous longest...

Boult to Curran, 1 bye, fired in on the full, past the leg stump as Curran makes room again. They scamper the single
