"It was disappointing. When Kevin Pietersen wrote the book everyone assumed his career was over. You don't want to read those things, especially about someone and from someone I have huge respect for. Kevin may say in the future that he regrets what he wrote. I wasn't around that Ashes trip when it all seemed to kick off, I've heard both sides and I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between. I hope in the future, whenever it may be, they can shake hands."

"The first time I saw him I thought this lad is going places. His wicketkeeping was a work in progress, as it is with all young wicketkeepers, but I liked everything about him. He seemed a good person and the relationship grew from there.

"Bruce French took his keeping to another level. He made a 100 on debut, then had a little hiccup and was contemplating giving up the gloves. I told him he would be mad to do that. There are very few people the country who can do what you can do and he soon realised he was too good a keeper to take up the gloves. He turned himself into one of the best batsmen-keepers to take the gloves."

Matt Prior on the future: "I have cycling interests, which is going really well. It is good to be involved in a different sport. The one thing I know for sure is that I don't want to go far from cricket. It is a game I have loved from the age of eight. So if that is through the media or through Sussex, where I am going to be a club ambassador, or England. It would be sad to just walk away from the game. I have learned a lot and I hope to share that knowledge."

Matt Prior on Kevin Pietersen's book: "It was a very tough time, to hear things said about you and hear yourself described a certain way which you didn't recognise and your team-mates didn't recognise was tough to deal with. But I'm not the kind of person to hold grudges. You can choose to hold grudges or choose to let it go and I've chosen to let it go. The most important thing is England winning games of cricket.

"Kevin tweeted me yesterday, which was a very nice touch. Yesterday was potentially a very tough day, but it was made so much easier by all my team-mates. To get some of the messages I did was hugely humbling."

Matt Prior: "It was the beginning of last summer, I knew I had a bad injury that I was trying to overcome. I did a lot of work with doctors and physios to the point where I was with them more than training. I decided to carry on playing until I was no longer an asset. But eventually I became a liability and the pain got too much. It was a tough call to quit but it was one I had to make."

Here's one not to be missed. This Saturday on BBC Radio 4, Rory Bremner will look back on the career of Richie Benaud - the Australian cricketer and commentator whose death earlier this year saw an extraordinary outpouring of love and affection from players, friends and fellow journalists and commentators.

"Morning everyone" will air at 20:00 BST on Saturday.

Matt Prior: "I can sit here very satisfied in that I literally have no regrets. Every day a coach or captain would say leave it all on the pitch and I quite literally did that and that's the reason I'm sitting here now. As a wicketkeeper I had to do that, I had to create the energy and I took that responsibility."

Former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior: "We knew it was going to be tough to go to Australia and win but we had the belief. We had played well before that series (2010-11) and everyone knew their role. Everyone peaked at the right time. Alastair Cook led from the front, the bowlers were magnificent. As a group we got it right in all departments."

TMS are just starting their Matt Prior tribute. You can listen in on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. We will bring you snippets of what is said over the next 25 minutes.

Santner hits the last ball down to fine leg where Adil Rashid fields. It leaves them with 398. Can it be considered a moral victory that England prevented them reaching 400? Regardless, the home side have one hell of a challenge in front of them if they are to win this. They need 399 runs from 50 overs at 7.96 an over.

"There have now been 53 boundaries - the most ever in a one-day international in England."

About half of the ball is hitting leg stump, but it is umpire's call. We will stick with the on-field call of not out. Still, it is a dot ball.

Another mis-field - from substitute David Willey at square-leg - gives New Zealand a boundary before Plunkett hits Taylor full on the pad. Plunkett thinks it is lbw and, after the on-field umpire shakes his head, calls for the review.

Tom in New Jersey: Historical scores mean nothing. Teams have just ripped up the rulebook over the past two years. It's been well documented. But I have a different hypothesis as to the reason. I don't think it's your McCullums, your ABs, your Gayles: there have always been power hitters. I think it's players like Williamson, Root, Amla, Steven Smith and Rilee Rossouw. This type of player used to take 120 balls to reach a century but now they're doing it in 80. Proper cricket shots. Little slogging. And it's giving the power hitters more balls to work with.

James Gutteridge: England showing a bit of inexperience, need more games to get the kind of cricketing intelligence NZ have in ODI cricket.

David Gibson: Relax everyone it's good batsmen on a good wicket putting bowlers under pressure #moderngame

It has been a long day in the field for England and they are looking ragged. Morgan mis-fields at mid-off to allow New Zealand to scamper two, where only one was on offer. Taylor ends the penultimate over by timing well through cover for four. Six balls left for England to suffer, six for New Zealand to reach 400.

"This is the Ross Taylor I remember: quick hands, lightning instincts and sixes over wide midwicket. He's back."

Ross Taylor is looking like the player of old. He latches on to a length ball from Stokes and swipes it high into the stand at cow corner.

Santner ends the over with a boundary wide of long on. So, another ODI record has gone, with this being the new highest total in the format at the Oval.

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Taylor struggled a bit for the first 50 or so runs, couldn't find his timing, but he's worked through that and suddenly out came the pure strokes. The last 45 runs combined force and felicity and poise. I'm sure that will give him a lot of pressure."
