"It was the Arctic Monkeys who sang 'quick, let's leave before the lights come on'. Brendon McCullum might be a fan of the Sheffield popsters..."

Brendon McCullum has a table booked for dinner. He's not hanging around... dancing down the track and belting Stuart Broad back down the ground for four, then carving another boundary over point. And another, over extra cover. Sixteen from the over.

"Brendon McCullum plays with such an independence of spirit. A furious kind of air that accompanies his batting. He just makes other teams uncomfortable with his batting."

So, Stuart Broad is going to bowl from the end where Tim Southee swung the ball round corners. Not James Anderson. Work that one out. Broad's first ball? Smashed for six over point by Brendon McCullum.

Can James Anderson find the same swing which Tim Southee struck upon? He starts with a wide, and the second one isn't much better. England look flatter than last Tuesday's pancakes. How are New Zealand going to play this? With aggression... Martin Guptill flays the Burnley Express through the covers, then fortuitously edges three down to third man. Off to a flyer.

"If you break down Tim Southee's figures, five overs: 2-20 odd, very good. Then his second spell, four overs, 5-10. So that's the make-up of his two spells and Brendon McCullum is very good at sensing when his bowlers are on top. He takes the risk and he goes for it."

Can England redeem themselves? Let's find out. James Anderson has the new ball with Martin Guptill in his immediate sights. Brendon McCullum is the other opener.

Bring back Boycs? On a serious note... what can England do to turn this around? They might only have to beat the so-called minnows to reach the quarters, but even that looks difficult when each game is so high-pressured on the back of two trouncings.

"I'm 74. I might go out and put some pads on - I'll probably do as well as half of them."

Jamie Bolton:, external Can't even moan anymore. Southee is on heat with those swinging yorkers. McCullum is the captain we can only dream of.

Sean Macleod:, external Here we go again.

Tim Southee on his career-best figures of 7-33: "It's a bit of a blur at the moment. We're good swing bowlers and even losing the toss, the ball swung around all innings. The ball stayed in reasonable shape all the way through so that's all I can put it down to.

"We've done half the job, so hopefully we can do the other half."

"Like England, I cannot stand the heat, so move to a shaded area. My new seat must be next to an England fan. As I sit, he shakes his head. No words are needed. We both know."

Rob Porter: NZ clearly are very good but this has been horrible by England. Pathetic

William Tipler: Mark Ramprakash may want to teach the team about middle and off. No ideas how to deal with the swing. RUBBISH

So, just a 10-minute break between innings. New Zealand get to bat before the scheduled lunch break. England have to drag themselves from the dressing room and face the music.

"You can't blame Joe Root for trying to get a few shots in with Jimmy Anderson at the other end. He played quite nicely until then, he's knocked ones and twos and taken the odd four. He played sensibly and with controlled, which puts the pitch in to perspective."

What a truly comprehensive performance from New Zealand. Tim Southee is denied the chance to take the first ever World Cup eight wicket haul when Joe Root swivels on a short ball and skies a catch to Daniel Vettori at fine leg. Circumstances dictated that shot.

Scorecard

Are we after the watershed? At the fall of Steven Finn's wicket, Joe Root closed his eyes, looked to the heavens and muttered what I imagine were one or two expletives. Tim Southee is the hero of Wellington... he assumes his fielding position in the outfield and is almost walking on water as the entire crowd stands to salute. He'll never have to buy a pint in this neck of the woods again.

"Tim Southee is now only the fourth man to take seven wickets in a World Cup match. Nobody has taken eight."
