OUT! Run Out. Tom Curran to Tim Southee. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper, direct hit by Billings. Sharp bit of work from Billings behind the stumps. Southee swings hard and misses, and Santner tries to scurry through to nick an extra run. The keeper collects, and flings it into the stumps to prevent that from happening.
Decent total on the board from the hosts. Guptill got things off to a rapid start, and de Grandhomme carried that on through the middle overs. The Curran brothers were the pick of the bowlers for England, and Matt Parkinson did well on debut. It won't be an easy chase, but it should be an exciting 20 overs, whatever the result.
Tom Curran to Mitchell Santner. Full toss, middle stump moves in front flick, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Brown.
FOUR! Tom Curran to Mitchell Santner. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Close to the perfect yorker, but Santner is able to get underneath this. Drilled back down the ground for four.

OUT! Bowled. Sam Curran to Jimmy Neesham. Reverse Swing-In half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to. That has really tailed back into Neesham. Fired in full by Sam Curran, and the ball scoots past the flashing blade to cannon into the stumps. Top bowling.
Wide Sam Curran to Jimmy Neesham. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot Leave, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Billings.

FOUR! Sam Curran to Mitchell Santner. Full toss, down leg side on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past fine leg for 4 runs. Poor bowling. Full toss down the legside, and Santner just helps it on its way. Carted away to the fine leg fence.

OUT! L.B.W. Saqib Mahmood to Ross Taylor. Length ball, outside off stump Deep in crease Slog, hit pad to. Taylor steps back to create a good hitting length, but he tries to hit this one too hard. Maybe done for pace a little, and the ball skids through to smash into the back leg. Looked a little legside, but up goes the finger, and no review taken either. HawkEye says it was missing the stumps.
Saqib Mahmood to Jimmy Neesham. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, inside edge to short fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Parkinson.
SIX! Saqib Mahmood to Jimmy Neesham. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Low full toss, and Neesham clips this away over the legside fence for six. It just about creeps over the fence. Very close to being snaffled inside the rope.
Saqib Mahmood to Jimmy Neesham. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Billings.
Patrick Brown to Jimmy Neesham. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to point for 1 run, fielded by Vince.
FOUR! Patrick Brown to Jimmy Neesham. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Neesham opens up the blade, and makes sure he guides it through the gap for four. Timed the pants off it, and the ball flew into the rope.

FOUR! Saqib Mahmood to Jimmy Neesham. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep square leg for 4 runs. Not the length to bowl at this stage of the game. Neesham clears the front leg, and pumps it over square leg for four.

Tim Southee to Tom Curran. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, in the air under control to deep point for 2 runs, fielded by Santner.
New Zealand get through to win by 14 runs. The momentum swung between both teams quite a few times throughout the day, but the hosts held their nerve to go 2-1 up in the five match series. Dawid Malan and James Vince played marvellous innings' in the chase, but once those two were gone, England folded. Lockie Ferguson and Blair Tickner were the pick of the bowlers for the Kiwis, and helped drag New Zealand back into a winning position. A big difference between the two sides today were the extras. New Zealand were much more disciplined, and deserve to come out on top.
So England must win the next one to stay in the series, that will be played on Friday in Napier. Join us again for that.

Ish Sodhi to Tom Curran. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump moves in front Slog, bat-pad to silly point for 1 run, fielded by Seifert.
SIX! Ish Sodhi to Tom Curran. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. That's a monster from Curran. He crushes this a very long way over deep mid wicket, and it travels out the stadium. A slither of hope given to England with that.
Wide Ish Sodhi to Tom Curran. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Seifert.
Ish Sodhi to Saqib Mahmood. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off for 1 run, fielded by Neesham.

OUT! Caught. Lockie Ferguson to Sam Curran. Leg cutter short, down leg side on the back foot cutting, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep point, by Munro. This is quite the collapse from England. Curran flays the bat at this short delivery, and scythes it straight into the hands of deep point. New Zealand are running through this middle order very quickly. Tough for the visitors to pull this off now.
Lockie Ferguson to Tom Curran. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, to third man for 1 run, fielded by Sodhi.
OUT! Bowled. Lockie Ferguson to Lewis Gregory. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to. England are crumbling to defeat now. They were cruising with five overs to go. Gregory just lasts the two balls. He is done for pace as he tries to heave it over the legside, and cannot make a connection. Leg stump gets clattered.
Lockie Ferguson to Lewis Gregory. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Seifert.
Lockie Ferguson to Sam Curran. Length ball, down leg side on the back foot dropped, to short extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Munro.
OUT! Caught. Blair Tickner to James Vince. Half volley, outside off stump Deep in crease driving, mis-timed to mid off, by Southee. The momentum is with the Kiwis now. Tickner gets his second, as Vince chips one into the hands of Southee at mid off. Wanted to clear the inner ring, but didn't strike it well enough. End of a decent knock, but it might not be enough for his side.
Blair Tickner to James Vince. Half volley, middle stump Deep in crease flick, to long on for 2 runs, fielded by Neesham.
Blair Tickner to Sam Curran. Off cutter back of a length, middle stump on the back foot pushing, to point for 1 run, mis-fielded by Taylor.

OUT! Run Out. Tim Southee to Sam Billings. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, hit pad to point, direct hit by Munro. Double strike for the Kiwis! They are back in this contest now. The ball trickles off the pad, and Billings sets off for the single without knowing where the ball has gone. Vince sends him back, but the keeper-batsman is too late to turn back. Munro flings it into the stumps, and the dive doesn't even save the Englishman.
Tim Southee to James Vince. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 1 run, fielded by de Grandhomme.
