An unbeaten 273-run stand that has batted and battered England, the defending champions. They lost the previous World Cup on boundary count, Conway and Ravindra launched a stellar attack that they made a mockery of the boundaries. Nobody expected England to look this clueless. But Ravindra and Conway just tore the bowlers apart. Chris Woakes leaked runs with the new ball, while Sam Curran began with two maiden overs which also had a wicket. Mark Wood bowled 150+ but he travelled 200+ to the boundary. Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone.. who have you got, bring them on said both the left-handers and put on a record stand. Kane Williamson's injury presented Ravindra the chance at No. 3 and he's won a lot of hearts. Conway came into this comp with not-so-great form, but he looked flawless. Those front foot and back foot punch-drives, pulls, cuts. It was a treat to watch. A depleted New Zealand side has smashed England.
