  2. Reasons for optimismpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    So, England's brave new era suffers a first proper setback. There were mistakes (not least some of the catching and the failure to bat out the overs) but there was also further reasons to be hopeful about the future. Like Paula Abdul and that cartoon cat, it was always likely to be a case of two steps forward and one step back. But I think we've seen enough in three games to know England are on the right track at least.

    We know the class of Root, Morgan and Stokes already, but now we have some promise in the shape of Billings, Willey et al. Remember, this is a country who bombed out of the World Cup in the most embarrassing of fashions but are now giving the finalists of that competition a ruddy good game.

    oldcats7: It's amazing anyone wants to play for England with such fickle fans. Outplayed on the day by the Kiwis no shame in that!

    Robbie Andrews: If only we'd batted out the allocated overs it could have been different, cracking performance though.

    Kelly: The England team left it a little late to start playing. Good fight though.

    "It's the third time Ross Taylor has hit back-to-back hundreds in one-day internationals."

  5. Clash of heads at Arundelpublished at 18:29 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    There's some hopefully encouraging news from Surrey, whose T20 Blast game with Sussex at Arundel today was abandoned.

    Surrey fielders Rory Burns and Moises Henriques were both taken to hospital by ambulance, following lengthy treatment on the field, after the pair collided during the 19th over.

    Surrey have tweeted that Henriques has had an X-ray on his jaw and is awaiting results. Burns is waiting to see a specialist and is chatting to staff.

    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "It's that middle order for New Zealand, with Williamson and Taylor - they don't take as many risks as the rest of the batting order do. While Morgan got to 70 and Root got to 50, they weren't able to carry on. I think New Zealand bowled better than they had in the previous matches, and they were rewarded with those late wickets, when England didn't help themselves."

    "New Zealand quietly outplayed England for large parts of the afternoon, and were very impressive with the bat."

  8. Postpublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    It was a thoroughly professional and impressive chase from New Zealand. England hung in, took wickets and took the game to the last over but the damage was already done by Taylor and Williamson who were superb in scoring a century each. The tourists take a 2-1 series lead and leave England to reflect on a decent showing but one that will have taught them an important lesson in batting out every one of your 50 overs.

  9. NZ win by three wicketspublished at 18:25 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    Southee clubs over extra cover off the back foot to send the ball to the boundary and win the game with an over to spare.

    Wheeler adds another to level the scores with a push into the off side.

    Alice Stainer: The only thing I'm disappointed with in England's performance is the catching (or lack thereof). Otherwise, good effort.

    Dai Williams: England have progressed from Excellent, to Very Good to acceptable in three ODIs. Need to address this!

  13. WICKETpublished at 18:21 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    Ronchi looks to end it first ball of the over but skies his drive for Roy to catch at point. It won't change the result but it delays the inevitable.

  14. NZ 300-6published at 18:19 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    New Zealand claim another three runs from Root's remaining four balls. Just three to win now. Stokes to bowl...

  15. NZ 297-6published at 18:18 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    With four bowlers having bowled out, England have to turn to Joe Root. It is a gamble to allow Stokes a go from the other end. The gamble doesn't pay off as Ronchi smashes one over deep square-leg for six. Emphatic. Six more to win.

  16. NZ 291-6 (12 to win from 19 balls)published at 18:16 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    The Ageas Bowl roar Wood to the crease during his final over. It is one last attempt to inspire something very special from the home team. The Durham man produces a tight last six balls but fails to make another breakthrough to crank up the pressure a tad more. Tension isn't the right word, but England are battling hard in the hope of creating some in the final few overs.

  17. NZ 290-6 (13 to win off 24 balls)published at 18:12 British Summer Time 14 June 2015

    Debutant Ben Wheeler is in to try and guide his side to victory. The crowd are fired up and think he may have planted his first ball into the hands of short cover, but it was a bump ball. Thus ends an encouraging 10 ODI overs from David Willey, who ends with 10-1-69-3.

    Jon Evans: Without the collapse, which happens, we are pretty neck and neck with NZ. Positive really.

    James Gallagher: England have scored over a thousand runs in three ODIs (more than NZ), yet still look like they will be 2-1 behind in the series.
