England's 12th man James Taylor - who went from captaining the ODI side in Ireland to carrying the drinks in this series - signs some autographs on the boundary as Taylor dismissively cuts the recalled Finn for successive fours. This stand is now worth 55. With eight runs off the first two balls, there's no pressure on Taylor as he sees off the rest of the over with ease.

Chris Williamson: This is the next part of the game, if Williamson and Taylor out score Root and Morgan NZ will win. England must get them out.

The bearded Rashid - who made his ODI debut back in 2009 but had to wait six years between his fifth and sixth appearances - walks in and then bounces into his delivery stride, and at first the Kiwi pair play him with respect but Williamson picks his moment to skip down the wicket and smack him for four through extra cover. At this stage, England were 82-2 so it's even stevens.

"A lot hangs on Rashid's spell here. If he can pick up a couple of wickets then England have a real chance."

England continue to pair pace with spin as Wood continues for his fourth over, more careful accumulation from Williamson and Taylor before a flashing Taylor drive sees the ball fly off the edge and through the unguarded third man boundary for four.

"You sense something is brewing when Rashid is bowling, whether it is a big six or a wicket."

And it's leg-spinner Adil Rashid into the attack at the Northern End, He's fairly tidy first up, not much raging turn but it's a tidy four singles from the over.

"Eoin Morgan will not panic too much as he has Adil Rashid, who has proved he is a wicket-taking bowler in those middle overs."

Harun Mohamed: As they always say, add two wickets to this score and it gets exciting, so England need to hang in there, keep plugging away.

Captain Eoin Morgan swings his arms - surely he's not going to bowl himself after ? More likely, he's telling someone else (Adil Rashid?) to warm up. Taylor works Wood for a two off his legs.

"It is effortless from Williamson, Pure timing, great balance. He makes it look very easy."

New Zealand 64-2 (10 overs - target 303)

Batsmen: Williamson 30*, Taylor 15*

Bowling figures: Finn 3-0-15-0, Willey 5-1-31-1, Wood 2-0-13-1.

Fall of wickets: 4-1 (Guptill 2), 36-2 (McCullum 11)

England 302 all out: Morgan 71, Stokes 68, Root 54

Williamson is starting to find his range here, drilling Willey back down the ground for four - applauded on the Kiwi balcony by former Hampshire skipper (and briefly England international) Dimitri Mascarenhas, who is now New Zealand's bowling coach. Let's hope he remembered not to walk into the home dressing room today out of habit. Williamson profits from another four when Steven Finn pulls out a full-length dive at square leg to keep the ball from the rope - but the lanky Finn's knee was touching the rope as he pushed the ball away. And the compulsory powerplay overs conclude with New Zealand having recovered well from losing their openers - just as England did. Williamson has 30 from 31 balls, Taylor has 15 from 41.

@davidosalwaysright: In the 70s I played in a cricket team with a Wood, a Forrest, a Copse, a Stone and a Flint in it. We had some good material!

"Ross Taylor is all power. We saw it in the last game at the Oval. Any time England bowled length he was mowing it over cow."

Never mind the two slips last over, Wood has a cordon of no fewer than three as he starts his second over to Taylor, but the Kiwi number four soon has the fielders running for cover as he guides back-to-back boundaries either side of the wicket, the second of which brings up the Black Caps' fifty. An expensive over - 12 from it. And at the risk of sounding a doom-monger, England were 40-2 at this stage.

"Willey has got the sort of action that will allow him to shape it even if it is not moving around much. I like the look of this attack. Left-arm gives you a different option and a different angle."

Willey has two slips in place as he looks to slant the ball across the two right-handers, just three singles from the over.

Erin Stratton: I'm liking the look of this new England team. Lots to be hopeful for in the future with these lads.

New batsman Ross Taylor looks up at the skies as he walks out, as though he expects the Hampshire weather to turn against him. Plenty of cloud but unless any of you know of any apocalyptic storms heading in from the Solent, Messrs Duckworth and Lewis may not be needed today. Taylor is up and running with a single, while Wood earns some warm applause as he stalks down to third man to field in front of the Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie Stand. Now there's a man who would approve of England's new, enterprising, entertaining brand of cricket.
