Mitch McClenaghan, not guaranteed a place in the Mitch XI, on with his left-armers. New Zealand need more wickets to make England bums squeaky. At the minute, the presence of Root keeps the men in pink squeak-free. Ben Stokes waits on the bench. He's so relaxed, he almost looks bored.

Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special"England bat so deep - that is what has made them so successful of late. With Root at the crease and Buttler looking to be aggressive maybe it is time to stamp on it and close the game out."

Akiva Fink: Please England, no. Don't be English. Surely not even we can mess this up.
Rob Sankey: O god, we can't collapse from here can we...please god no
Simon White: Here comes the defining cultural facet of England. The batting collapse.

Jos Buttler survives the hat-trick ball, but the game has changed. New Zealand have a slip and leg slip, hunting wickets. Morgan is back on the bench, a man on the edge. The crowd are cheering Sodhi in. Root, the voice of reason, remains, pulling for four. Everyone calm down.

Morgan lbw Sodhi 0 (Eng 110-3)
Oh no. What do they say about one bringing two? Eoin Morgan, for the second time in three matches, gets a golden blob. Pushing forward, he's plumb in front, hitting middle. From nowhere, New Zealand have hope. Delhi is electric.

Roy b Sodhi 78 (Eng 110-2)
Gone! The end of wonderful innings. Jason Roy is undone by one from Ish Sodhi that creeps under the bat. Roy was advancing, it was dragged down, a pretty awful ball. Either way, whatever you're doing, stand up and applaud. Top biffery.

Speaking of highlights, can you watch all of the clips from Roy of the Runchase at the top of this page. Jason, leading England and the Jason XI, is hunting what would be his nation's second T20 international ton. The tempo has dropped ever so slightly, but England need less than a run a ball. It should be a doddle.

Good point. The Mitchell XI would smash the Jason XI. New Zealand need wickets, so post a slip when Sodhi bowls to Root. When Roy finally plays a false shot, he chips down the ground, just over Sodhi. Speaking of Roy, you can watch him reach 50 right here. Don't say I never do anything for you.

Six more! Elliott too leggy to Roy, who helps the ball over long leg, where the crowd are on their feet to signal the maximum. In other news, David Jason does get in to out Jason XI. Whodda thunk it?

Jason Gallian is a good shout. I'm not sure we could put an XI out, though. Roy and Gallian to open. Holder and Gillespie to bowl, then who?
