  1. NZ 142-3published at 31 overs

    Target 285

    Three runs from Adil Rashid's over but you sense England need a wicket here. This is all a bit too easy for Tom Latham and Ross Taylor and with wickets in hand they will be able to cut loose. 140 off 114 balls is the asking rate on a ground with small boundaries.

    There's still a long way to go but New Zealand are starting to threaten now - the momentum is with them.

    If England were batting now, they'd be licking their lips - they've laid the platform and they've still got seven wickets in hand.

  4. NZ 142-3published at 30 overs

    Target 285

    New Zealand content to milk singles and rotate the strike. However, a reverse sweep off the final ball of Joe Root's over from Tom Latham shows signs of some momentum building for the Kiwis.

    The game is in the balance.

  6. NZ 133-3published at 29 overs

    Latham 51, Taylor 52

    Five off Adil Rashid's third over. New Zealand still nurdling and nudging their way to the total at the moment.

    Joe Root to continue at the other end.

  7. 50 runs

    50 for Lathampublished at 07:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    Three balls later Tom Latham reaches his fifty, off Adil Rashid. It took 55 balls.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Taylorpublished at 28 overs

    NZ 128-3

    Tidy stuff from Joe Root for five balls but off his final delivery a cut shot from Ross Taylor brings a fielding mistake from Tom Curran, who is caught by the spin on the ball and it scurries off to the boundary for four. That's fifty for Taylor - his 42nd in ODIs - and the century stand with Latham.

    Root is a very canny operator with the ball.

  10. dropped catch

    Latham dropped on 47published at 27 overs

    NZ 121-3

    Tom Latham gets a feather on a delivery from Adil Rashid but Jos Buttler spills a difficult catch down the leg side. A good over from Rashid otherwise with just one run from it.

    Joe Root is loosening up to replace Moeen Ali.

    Ross Taylor can go ballistic at the end of an innings.

    A betting man would still have his money on England here.

  13. NZ 120-3published at 26 overs

    Target 285

    A lovely sunset in Hamilton with purples and pinks. Tom Latham uses his feet to Moeen Ali's third delivery and works the ball to a straight deep mid-wicket. It looks destined for four but David Wiley slides to stop it just in time. Six from the over without breaking sweat.

  14. NZ 114-3published at 25 overs

    Target 285

    Plenty of dabs, paddles and sweeps from Tom Latham and Ross Taylor off Adil Rashid's leg-spin as the New Zealand pair pick up four runs - all in singles - from the over.

    Ross Taylor was playing 10 years before I was playing and he's still going five years after I retired. He's been playing forever...

  16. NZ 110-3published at 24 overs

    Latham 41, Taylor 40

    Ross Taylor dabs a sweep behind the wicket off Moeen Ali. Ben Stokes gives chase but he cannot reach it. That's 7,000 runs in ODIs for Taylor. England need to break this partnership.

    Bairdy: NZ looking increasingly comfortable here, despite the run rate creeping up. Spinners will have a big say in the result here.

  18. NZ 104-3published at 23 overs

    Target 285

    Eoin Morgan brings Adil Rashid into the attack. He starts with a googly but Ross Taylor cuts it for a single before a half-hearted appeal for lbw after the ball clips Tom Latham's pad and they scamper through for a leg bye. Two singles follow as New Zealand continue to work the ball into the gaps.

    Moeen Ali is bowling a bit too qiuckly - it's not turning. He needs to bowl slower.

  20. NZ 100-3published at 22 overs

    Target 285

    Moeen Ali continues round the wicket but Tom Latham is happy just to milk the singles. Ross Taylor flicks Moeen's penultimate delivery off his hips down past short fine leg to the boundary for four. That's the hundred up for the Black Caps.
