    Moeen 10-0-33-2

    Lockie Ferguson, playing in place of Ish Sodhi, is the new man.

    Three more singles taken from the over and perhaps New Zealand can take some meagre solace that they don't have to face Moeen Ali again.

    The England all-rounder finishes with superb figures of 10-0-33-2.

    That is club cricket stuff, not international cricket. Southee thought he had to sacrifice himself. There was no chance he was going to make it.

    This is turning into a bit of a horror show for New Zealand.

    Southee run out (Stokes) 6 (NZ 147-8)

    Dearie me, this is so very village.

    Mitchell Santner drills it to Ben Stokes, who fumbles it and Santner runs on the misfield.

    But the ball has only deflected a metre away from Stokes, allowing the all-rounder to calmly pick up and throw straight to Jos Buttler.

    England's keeper whips off the bails with Tim Southee yards short of his ground. Never a run there. New Zealand on the brink.

  6. NZ 147-7published at 37 overs

    Stand-in captain Tim Southee is the new man and starts with a four.

    It's far from convincing though - an edge that flies through vacant third slip territory.

    How New Zealand have missed skipper Kane Williamson - out with a hamstring injury.

    It has been pretty insipid from the New Zealand batsman. No one has found a method to play.

  8. wicket

    De Grandhomme run out (Bairstow) 38 (NZ 141-7)

    Sure enough, De Grandhomme is sent on his way.

    The ball before, the burly all-rounder clipped one into leg and stole two runs, taking on the arm of Jonny Bairstow.

    The next delivery brings about a similar shot and De Grandhomme again tries to pinch the second.

    This time, Bairstow - perhaps a little hurt at conceding that second run the ball before - zips in and rifles a throw right above the stumps for Buttler to whip off the bails. Yet more terrific fielding from England.

    I thought he was a little short.

    This could be out.

  11. Umpire reviewpublished at 36.3 overs

    New Zealand need runs from everywhere but I think Colin de Grandhomme has been far too desperate trying to steal a second run here.

    Jonny Bairstow looks to have run him out. They're going upstairs to check...

  12. NZ 137-6published at 36 overs

    De Grandhomme 35, Santner 12

    Moeen Ali will continue into his ninth over. The off-spinner goes round the wicket to Colin de Grandhomme, preventing him from freeing his arms.

    Just three singles conceded from another first-rate over.

  13. drinks break

    NZ 134-6published at 35 overs

    Santner swipes up and over the in-field but can't find the fence as he scurries three.

    Woakes then over-pitches and De Grandhomme clips it off his toes and over mid-on to the fence.

    Not an auspicious return to the attack for Woakes, bowling at the opposite end to the one he started from.

    And that boundary is the final action before drinks. Where will New Zealand be aiming with 15 overs but just four wickets remaining?

  14. Postpublished at 03:18 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February 2018

    Right, here comes Chris Woakes back into the attack. He bowled a superb spell early on, taking 2-18 off five overs.

    Can he inspire England to dismiss New Zealand cheaply?

    Moeen Ali has had a great performance after a disappointing day in Hamilton. He has been quite outstanding. His line and length has been impeccable.

    Moeen 8-0-27-2

    The first blemish on England's fielding report card as Tom Curran exuberantly fires a shy at the stumps well wide and concedes an overthrow.

    Not that it does too much damage to Moeen's superb figures. The off-spinner now has 2-27 off eight overs.

  17. NZ 122-6published at 33 overs

    De Grandhomme 29, Santner 3

    Delicious bowling from Adil Rashid, that run out chance the only single off the over.

    England have got their act together in the field. NZ will not see out their 50 overs.

  19. Not outpublished at 32.1 overs

    The toe end of Santner's bat was indeed just in the crease. England weren't too interested, giving a good indication the Kiwi had made it. More terrific work in the field, mind.

  20. Umpire reviewpublished at 32.1 overs

    More superb fielding from England - have they got another run out?

    Santner scampers a quick single to Woakes, who picks up and slings down the stumps.

    He looks to be safe but they're going to check upstairs...
