    "I will interested to see what pace Rashid bowls. In one-day cricket I always think he is a better bowler when he gives it some flight. This is a big series for him. Moeen Ali has struggled and if Rashid has a good series, England may take a gamble on him in the Ashes."

    Now then, we're going to get our first look at the bowling of Adil Rashid. He batted superbly, what can he do with the nut? It's a slightly erratic first over, not quite finding a consistent line and length, and New Zealand know they have to target him. Williamson does just that, reaching for a wide one and lofting it over mid-off for four.

    "It is the first time I have seen New Zealand look a bit ragged, in the first innings. They were fumbling the ball. But that is down to the pressure the England batsmen put on them."

    Thanks Phil. Eoin Morgan has shuffled his pack and brought Liam Plunkett into the attack. Plunkett's first three deliveries are on the money, but the fourth is overpitched and Williamson punches it back down the ground for four. Another delivery, slightly wider, gets the same treatment, not quite as well-timed this time but it beats mid-off and trickles away to the rope.

    Jordan's fifth over - which goes for just two - completes an action-packed first 10 of the New Zealand innings. And with that, I hand you back to Mr James Gheerbrant.

    Salim in Toronto: If 10 runs have already been scored in the first five balls when chasing 400+, the ideal thing to do is to watch the run rate and keep it ticking, not try to bash every ball. Six runs an over for the first 15 overs or so would be fine with wickets in hand. McCullum did what he did in the World Cup final, did not settle down. Costly wicket, England definitely ahead.

  7. NZ 68-2 (Run-rate 7.55)published at 18:55 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Finn is within one ball of another maiden, but Taylor swings hard at the last and diverts the ball up and over the keeper and down to the boundary for four.

  8. NZ 64-2published at 18:53 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Oh, so close! Taylor looks to pull a short ball from Finn and almost drags on to his own stumps.

    One thing you can be certain of, New Zealand will not take a backward step. They will continue to go on the assault in their pursuit of this huge England total. Williamson leans forward and punches Jordan's first ball through extra cover for four before flicking the fourth off his pads and down to the fine-leg boundary. England have removed two big danger-men, but this Kiwi side is packed to the rafters with them.

    Calum Nicholson: Turned on the cricket to see NZ needed over 8 an over after 3 gone. Thought it must have been a mistake.

    Luke: Finn on fire! Two cracking wickets. I'm plumping for him to take five!

  11. NZ 53-2 (Target 409)published at 18:46 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    In keeping with this new attacking edge to England, they have a man at silly mid-on and silly mid-off as Finn charges in to deliver to Williamson. The pressure is on the tourists.

    "Guptill was scoring at a good enough rate to get them on target. When you're chasing, I think you need to take a slightly different approach - you need to stick around a bit."

    "Guptill was feeling the pressure. It was a great ball from Finn, on off stump and it got a little more bounce, which Finn is always going to get."

    Speaking of class acts, Martin Guptill has it is in his locker to get New Zealand close to their required total in this match as a smash through cover for four off Finn's first ball shows. England, then, will be delighted to have him back in the tent as swings wildly and nicks one to Buttler. England jubilant.

  15. NZ 46-1published at 18:41 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Kane Williamson is a class act. In 2014 alone he scored seven ODI 50s and a century. He underlines the threat he poses with a straight drive down the ground for four through mid-on. However, he does get lucky at the end of an over by trying to chop one that gets an inside edge and flies past his stumps and down to the rope.

  16. NZ 37-1 (Guptill 15, Williamson 8)published at 18:36 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Finn veers too short and straight and Guptill is on to it in a flash to pull for four. Williamson then gets in on the act with a flick off his legs for four to the same part of the ground. Runs coming thick and fast. The Kiwis are going at 7.40 an over after five. And one of those has been a maiden.

    Simon Goodall: Stevie Finn is showing some bottle here. To recover from the battering he got in the WC is pretty impressive. Fair play.

  18. NZ 27-1 (Target 409)published at 18:32 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Not content with claiming the wicket of McCullum and bowling the game's first maiden, Steven Finn is after a fielding point. He runs round and dives to stop a boundary at fine leg as Jordan's second over goes for eight.

  19. NZ 19-1 (Guptill 9, Williamson 0)published at 18:28 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Steven Finn is charging in like a man possessed, fuelled by that wicket of McCullum. He finds a tight line and a good length to keep Williamson on his toes and claim a superb maiden - the first of the game.

    Richie O'Hara Beamand: Great to see Finn deal with the pressure of McCullum going after him there. Big, big wicket.

    Pete Naylor: Oh Brendon, you've done a Ponting. At Edgbaston. It's 2005 all over again!
