Dave W: Williamson may not hit like Gayle, McCullum, KP etc but he is beautifully straight and correct to watch and still scores very quickly.

Tony Knowles: England could do with a quick hat-trick from someone or this game is dead and buried.

The wicket is not helping England's bowlers out at all. But Finn follows Stokes' lead with another tight over, in which he varies his pace to superb effect and goes for just two. The pressure it creates is clear to see as Williamson is sent back at the non-striker's end by Taylor and is almost run out from a throw from backward point. That'll be drinks.

Grahame Smith: Having failed to originally qualify, "Long" John Daly winning the 1991 US PGA Golf tournament having been the ninth and last reserve. Only got his chance when Nick Price dropped out as his wife was about to give birth and none of the other eight alternates could make it in time.

Rishi Malhotra: I hate to be that guy. But when Australia lost the Ashes 3-0 in summer 2013 only to reclaim them 5-0 just six months later, that was very impressive.

"New Zealand are very much in control. They're driving the game. It's easy pickings for them to just tick along, and then take the boundary option when it comes."

Stokes is next up to chance his arm. He keeps the Kiwi pair in check, limiting them to just three runs with a change of pace and length but a solid straight line. It is the kind of economical, challenging over England need if they are to prevent New Zealand setting them a 400+ total.

Small Man Peaky: NZ on for 400+ here. Isn't it double the score at 30 overs? Though they don't have Anderson, so missing a bit of firepower.

Paul Lewis: New Zealand look on course to get 400. Unless England get wickets fast they will have lost before they start batting.

Is Steven Finn the man to make the breakthrough? Not on this evidence. Williamson shows no mercy with a pull through midwicket, followed by a superb, checked hit over mid-off for successive boundaries. The batsman almost plays on twice with subsequent balls but he has earned his luck.

"Williamson has been positive all the way through, but with touch and placement rather than power - a bit like Joe Root's innings at Edgbaston the other day. That's the new way to play what used to be called the anchor role."

New Zealand are able to pick up runs at will. They don't need to be aggressive to pick up nine from Root's latest. Double your total from 30 overs onwards? That'd just be the 418 for England to chase. The home side need to halt this Kiwi momentum, and soon.

Nick: It has to be Greece at Euro 2004 for me. After having only ever qualified for two major tournaments, they get drawn in a group with Spain and Portugal, get out of it, and then go on to beat France, Czech Republic and the hosts once again in the final. Perfect example of what teamwork and spirit can achieve.

Morgan has a chat with Rashid, leading to a defensive field adjustment. It stems the boundaries but the damage has already been done. New Zealand's 200 is up.

"I think the New Zealand total is going to be around the 350 mark."

Williamson is a very worrying presence at the crease for England. He twists violently on a short ball from Rashid to hammer a six over mid-wicket before lofting two off drives for a couple of fours.

"Mitchell Santner is an unknown quantity, but he's not a power player like Corey Anderson is. So I just feel that the foundation that these two build needs to have a little more steel in it."

Tom in New Jersey: Between Plunkett, Stokes and Jordan and sort of Finn, this is probably the quickest seam quartet England has fielded since Simon Jones' injury.

What is with the England full tosses? Root lobs in another, which Williamson dismissively slams to cow corner for four. This is huge test for England now. They could well be chasing what they set at Edgbaston unless they get a few wickets.

"Taylor is not quite himself today. He's not quite timing the ball on his genuine cricket strokes, so when he gets a bad ball he tends to overhit it to make sure it's a boundary."

Williamson looks very assured. Taylor less so. He tries to paddle a fullish ball from Rashid down to fine leg but top-edges over Buttler. He then fails to connect with a slog-sweep to a full ball that only brings him a single. Hales has to field a couple from deep square-leg and gets a cheer r each time he does from the crowd behind him, who remember his little error earlier. All in the name of fun.

This is interesting. On comes Joe Root to continue spin assault. It doesn't pose any serious threat to the New Zealand pair, but it does keep them to just four runs.

Evan Samuel: I really like Chris Jordan as a cricketer, I just wish there was a touch more edge to his bowling.

Football Fragmento: NZ have got to attack Stokes or Rashid. Make England use Root as a bowler.
