    OUT! Caught. Mark Wood to Mark Chapman. Bouncer, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Billings. Handy little cameo from Chapman.

    Liam Plunkett b Trent Boult 0 (1)

    OUT! Bowled. Chris Jordan to Kane Williamson. Half volley, outside off stump moves in front flick, hit pad. Brilliant over and Jordan gets his reward, the scalp of Kane Williamson.

  • 16.6

    APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. David Willey to Mark Chapman. Slower length ball, outside off stump moves in front Slog, hit pad for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. Late review from England and they are going to lose their one and only. Hits the pad but the bounce is taking it over the stumps comfortably.

  • 16.5

    SIX! David Willey to Mark Chapman. Length ball, outside off stump backing away flick, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. A couple of steps towards the offside and whipped imperiously for six.

  • 15.6

    FOUR! Mark Wood to Kane Williamson. Half volley, outside off stump moves in front flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. What a shot. Stepping across the wickets and whipped extravagantly into the gap. Dhoni would have been proud of that.

  • 19.6

    FOUR! Trent Boult to Adil Rashid. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs.

    Nice clip off the pads but it's in vain as New Zealand win by 12 runs. At one point England were in good position to chase this down but they run out of steam with wickets steadily falling. Dawid Malan played a decent knock while Alex Hales got off to a flying start, not many other useful scores though from the top-order. New Zealand go into the next game against Australia knowing a win will take them into the final. See you on Friday.

    OUT! Run Out. Tim Southee to Adil Rashid. Yorker, middle stump on the front foot defending, to slips, direct hit by Seifert. Quick work from Seifert. The ball hasn't gone far from the stumps but he is up and underarms onto the stumps. The dive can't prevent the run-out.

    OUT! Bowled. Trent Boult to Liam Plunkett. Reverse Swing-In yorker, middle stump down the track driving, missed. Another perfect yorker from Boult. Plunkett was trying to meet it on the full but there is a touch of curve which takes the ball past the bat.

  • 17.5
    Chris Jordan b Trent Boult 6 (6)

    OUT! Bowled. Trent Boult to Chris Jordan. Yorker, off stump on the front foot driving, missed. Perfect yorker. Sneaks under the bat and crashes into off stump. No chance for Chris Jordan.

  • 16.4

    OUT! Caught. Mitchell Santner to Dawid Malan. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Boult. Got him this time. Tossed up even further from Santner and the extra bounce takes the top half of the bat. Spooned straight up and Boult makes no mistake.

  • 16.2

    SIX! Mitchell Santner to Dawid Malan. Carrom length ball, down leg side down the track slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Spinning into the left-hander and Malan is able to go with the spin into the legside.

  • 15.6

    SIX! Ish Sodhi to David Willey. Googly back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs, dropped catch by Santner. Oh dear. Santner has not helped out a fellow spinner. Should have been an easy catch at long on but he palms it over the rope for a maximum.
