    18.4 hacked with power but straight at cover! Buttler wanted the single, but he is struggling here! Sent back, good gather from Southee as Williamson's shy comes in. And now England's ambitions are back on the line! 162/5
    10.2 dragged out wide, and stumped! Cunning from Santner, saw his man coming, flung it past him as he charged, outside off stump, a smart piece of glovework for Conway and New Zealand have their opening! 81/1
    13.1 holes out to wide long-on! The ball was there to be hit, it seemed, but Sodhi just dangled it out a touch wider, and induced the top edge as Moeen sat back for the big launch! Nearly another fumble from Boult but he does enough 108/2
    17.4 another scoop, but bowled! Ferguson holds his nerve, wider on the crease, speared in at the base of middle. Livingstone wasn't quite feeling in, I sense. Tried to get cuter than his natural game, inverted his stance once more, and makes way for someone else to have a swing! 153/3
    18.2 hoisted down the ground, but straight at long-on! Pace off the ball, Brook threw his hands through the line, down the ground, but straight into Allen's bread-basket. 160/4
    19.5 pinned on the toe, and plumb! Stokes can't pick up the yorker, and up goes the finger! He's reviewing, so maybe there's an inside-edge, but probably just a gamble to get another ball. Nope, no bat. And that's hitting off stump. Clipping, actually, so closer than expected, but gone all the same! 176/6

    4.6 sucker ball bouncer at 127 kph on fifth stump, Allen tries to pull this over midwicket but there's two boundary riders at deep square leg and deep midwicket. Extraordinary shot during the Powerplay considering where the pair of boundary riders were positioned. It floats up for Stokes to run in 20 yards from the rope and takes a simple chest height catch. 28/2
    1.6 back of a length on the legs, Conway shuffles across his stumps trying to flick/scoop this over fine leg but doesn't time this properly. Comes fine off the bat and Buttler has time to fling himself to his right for a diving take at knee height. Third umpire is checking to make sure Buttler took this cleanly and the ball has stuck firmly in the webbing between thumb and index finger and not dislodged upon landing. Conway goes. 8/1
    14.5 gone this time! Rashid at short third snaffles an attempted glide off the back foot, pace off from Stokes and Williamson can't fillet the gap! An anchorman's 40 from 40... is it chocks away for the middle order now! 119/3
    17.3 Walloped high through the line, and Jordan pouches another! That, surely, is the game for England! Phillips had to put bat through ball, but the tricksy angle and pace off the pitch scuppers his timing. The super-sub is back on the edge of the rope and makes no mistake! 135/6
    15.4 pulled... straight to Curran at deep midwicket! The pace makes the breakthrough! Short, outside off, Neesham rocks back, targetting the longer side of the ground, but can't get hold of it. Curran rushes in, steadies himself, and gees up the crowd as England continue to battle back! 126/4
    16.6 Slower ball, launched through the line but Jordan's there at long-on! What a brilliant over from Woakes, into the pitch once again, just back of a length, confounding Mitchell's timing as he swung for the hills. Suddenly, it's Phillips or bust for New Zealand! 131/5
