    Now then, what to make of all that? As it stands, England must be favourites to reach the final. One note of caution. New Zealand have not conceded more than 158 in this tournament (before you say it, I know England only need 154, but you get my point).

    Right, time for me to leave you. It's over to Stephan Shemilt for the England run chase...

    20 runs is the fewest England have ever conceded off the final four overs of a T20. You can see all the action from those death overs, and indeed the rest of the innings, in the Highlights tab at the top of this page.

    Rory Stoves: Anyone really think this is going to be easy, given this is England and how well New Zealand's spinners have bowled?

    Anand Dahihandekar: Chasing is always difficult, I think Eng will do well to keep wickets in hand.

    Dan Pritchett: Chasing this total requires an intelligent innings from Root/Morgan. Getting a 50 and batting through. That's the key.

    Colin Munro looked pretty glum there. However, all is not lost for New Zealand - they've defended scores of 126, 142 and 145 in this tournament. The question is - can they do so on this more batsman-friendly Delhi pitch, against a very deep England batting line-up?

    Keir McCumiskey: Brilliant from England! Last four overs went for only twenty and they collected five wickets. Superb death bowling.

    Nick Clark: Hell of a recovery by England. They were staring down the barrel of 200+ at one point

    Neil Leverett: Some death bowling of THE HIGHEST order from England. Very much advantage.

    New Zealand batsman Colin Munro: "It is probably less than we like would like but we have done really well in past defending smaller totals. 

    "We know what we need to do, we need to be smart, how we have bowled in the tournament and early wickets might help as well."

    "At halfway I am afraid England are going to be favourites."

    "Whisper it if you dare," adds Aggers.

    "England have had a really, seriously, good 20 overs in the field there.

    "That is a really good performance. New Zealand had a lively start but they reigned it back. A really good performance."

    WICKETpublished at 20 overs

    McClenaghan run out (Stokes) 1 (NZ 153-8)

    Stokes throws down the stumps when New Zealand try to scamper a single off the last. A superb turnaround in the field from England, who at one stage looked likely to concede 180. They coughed up just 20 runs off the final four overs, and that, dare I say it, really ought to win them this match.

    Santner c Jordan b Stokes 7 (NZ 150-7)

    New Zealand just can't find those boundaries. Santner tries to hit Stokes over the top and picks out Chris Jordan. New Zealand are crumpling in a heap here...

    "Jordan has bowled spectacularly well this evening. He has bowled at really awkward times and took a fantastic catch in the deep."

    Felix Keith: Hands up if you wrote off Chris Jordan as a limited overs bowler and are being proved wrong. I am certainly one.

    Joe: Excellent bowling from Chris Jordan. Hope he gets some credit on here, always gets jumped on for some reason.

    Chris Knight: The Jordan bashers seem strangely quiet now!
