SIX! Rehan Ahmed to Mitchell Santner. Googly length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Mitchell Santner clears the ropes with the final ball of the innings and New Zealand have posted a competitive total of 159. Glenn Phillips led the charge with a fluent 39, while Tim Seifert provided a solid 35. But having been well placed at the midway point, the England bowlers then kept things under control, striking at regular intervals to prevent any major partnerships from flourishing. The spinners were particularly impressive throughout the innings, applying constant pressure in the middle overs. Adil Rashid, Will Jacks, and Rehan Ahmed chipped in with two wickets apiece to keep New Zealand in check. Can England successfully chase down the target, or will New Zealand's bowlers rise to the occasion and defend their total? The run chase is coming up shortly.
