Debutant Mitchell Santner is the new man. He's off the mark with a nudge into the leg side off Rashid.

Former England batsman Jonathan Trott: "Sam Billings is one of the great all-round sportsmen I've ever played with. He can contribute with the bat but can come in and field like that as well."

This is silly. Very silly. New Zealand get an extra ball when Stokes sends down a wide off his sixth delivery, but instead of milking a bonus single, they inexplicably decide to turn for a suicidal second. Elliott is run out by miles when Billings sends in a sharp throw to Buttler..

An ugly misfield from Eoin Morgan at mid-off gives Grant Elliott a cheap four. Taylor cheekily sweeps past fine leg for four, then brings up his fifty off 46 deliveries with a single down the ground. But then...

"A really beautiful evening at Edgbaston now, the whole ground in sunshine, bar a shadow that is just beginning to creep across the outfield. There are rather more empty seats than before, perhaps those children on school trips have gone home. The DJ keeps pumping the tunes - how do you decide the soundtrack to an ODI? 'Tell you what, I'll keep Mr Brightside by the Killers until Grant Elliott is batting'."

Strange game this. I've not had the impression that New Zealand have batted that well, England have seemed to keep a lid on the boundaries, and yet the Kiwis are still going at close to seven an over. Rashid is smashed miles into the air by Taylor for another four. He reacts with the perverse delight of a macho wildlife presenter when a crocodile takes a snap at him, smiling at having coaxed Taylor into a wild stroke.

Ben Stokes is in to the attack. Taylor decides to sneak a run to Chris Jordan in the covers, and almost pays for it as the electric Jordan snakes out a tentacle and almost throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end. Taylor, who is just beginning to move through the gears, then slams Stokes back down the ground for a one-bounce four.

"The NZ middle order of Taylor and Elliott are not controlling the game at the moment. They are struggling to do any more than collect runs, when what they need is boundaries."

"Let's bowl him through the gate, Adil!" shouts Jos Buttler, somewhat giving the game away. Rashid obliges with a ripping googly which spins back inside the shot of Elliott and just over the stumps. Buttler, whose idea it was in the first place, is taken completely by surprise and clanked on the helmet.

Suddenly, Ross Taylor is roused from his slumber. He seizes on a good-length ball from Plunkett and drills it to the fence, and then next ball he goes one better and smacks him over cow-corner for six. Good over for New Zealand, they needed that.

Former England batsman Jonathan Trott on TMS: "In one-day cricket, on fast outfields, you don't necessarily have to play big shots to score at a high-tempo, especially with the fielding restrictions. You can catch up quite quickly with the scoring but if you lose wickets it kills you."

Big appeal as Ross Taylor completely misses with a sweep and is struck on the pad by Rashid. England decide against a review and rightly so - the ball pitched outside leg. Rashid is bowling nicely though, he and Plunkett have dried up the runs here.

Rob Meech: England scored 408 against the Aussies here in one day in the 2005 Ashes. It marked a new dawn. Does today's 408 also?

Elliott wears a sharp bouncer from Plunkett on the shoulder. Frustration for the New Zealand batsman as they are starting to struggle to find the boundary, the extra pace of Plunkett making him difficult to get away. Just three from the over, and time for drinks.

Jen de Polo: Well done Adil! Can't understand why he hasn't played more for England in last 5 years.

Merlyn: Few dots and Adil claims a wicket. Get. Him. In. The. Test. Side.

Rashid is settling in here. He foxes Grant Elliott with a googly and gets him to inside-edge one perilously past his stumps. Decent over, seven from it.

Grant Elliott, the hero of New Zealand's World Cup semi-final win over South Africa, strides to the crease. He will need to outdo even that remarkable innings if New Zealand are to get close here. He gets off the mark with a tip-toed, flat-bat shot past backward point for four. Plunkett's riposte is a good one, whistling one past the outside edge.

"It was nice bowling from Rashid and a good running catch from Joe Root. That's the difficulty for New Zealand, when you are chasing a target like this if you go two balls without a boundary, you can't just nudge and nurdle."

Rashid strikes! That's what he's in the team for - tossed up, inviting Kane Williamson into the big shot, the batsman doesn't connect cleanly and Joe Root streaks in from the boundary at long-off to collect the catch. England right on top now.

Plunkett is hoicked into the leg-side outfield for a couple. Alex Hales fields serviceably to raucous chants of 'Hales! Hales!' A few sundowners being imbibed in the stands I reckon, and why not? Better over from Plunkett, just five from it.
