England finish with 282/9

If England pick up a tight victory, they will have their No.10 and No.11 to thank for as Adil Rashid and Mark Wood manage to add 30 vital runs off the last 26 deliveries to push England past the 280-run mark. It didn't look like they would even go past 260 at one stage as New Zealand staged a strong comeback at the death. But remember, the Kiwis have a long batting lineup as well so they will fancy their chances of chasing this down.

Glenn Phillips castled Moeen Ali in his first over. In his second over, which is the 42nd of the innings, he has breached through Joe Root's defence. This is terrific stuff. Root wanted to go for the reverse but this was too full and too close and he misses the ball, it pitches, turns and hits the leg stump. What a wicket for the Kiwis!! They are well and truly on top of this contest. Sam Curran is joined by Chris Woakes now. This is the last recognised pair

Conway and Will Young are at the crease. Conway is on strike. Woakes will open the attack

0.1 Woakes to Conway, FOUR, oh that's not the start England were after. Wide half-volley outside off, and it's laced through point. Conway off the mark with four

0.5 Woakes to Conway, FOUR, oh dear, another half-volley outside off, ripe for the taking and Conway crunches it through extra cover. No swing at all for Woakes so far

NZ: 10-0 after 1 overs

Sam Curran, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

NZ 10/1 (1.3)

CRR: 6.67 REQ: 5.63

New Zealand need 273 runs

Sam Curran to Will Young, out Caught by Buttler!! A golden duck for Will Young who is strangled down the leg-side! Curran finds some swing straightaway but misdirects it down the leg-side. To his good fortune, Young tickles it very fine, giving Buttler the opportunity to dive across and grab it. Young can't believe his luck as he walks off. England needed this early breakthrough and they've got it. Will Young c Buttler b Sam Curran 0(1)

Sam Curran to Will Young, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
