Andrew Steadman: Anyone got any fingernails left?
RegularJon: This feels like an hour long sudden-death penalty shootout! I can’t take it. Still think we’re going to fall short
Jos. Buttler.
After 43 overs England were 183-4, New Zealand were 196-5...

Jos Buttler guides the last to third man to keep the strike.
Jos Buttler shapes to play the ramp shot again but the ball is too full.
Yet this is Jos Buttler, he is made of greatness and he adjusts majestically to tickle it fine.
To do that to Lockie Ferguson's pace is ridiculous.
It doesn't hit the rope as fine leg gets round, but two crucial runs nonetheless.

All good captains are good actors - there is no way that Eoin Morgan or Kane Williamson are calm!
This partnership has been played very smartly by England.
Ben Stokes drive to mid off on the edge of the circle and steals a quick single. The throw missed anyway.

Jamie Cook: Left my mates and stood alone since first ball of Stokes Buttler partnership, not moving. Dying for toilet too
Brehon Law: On the absolute edge of my seat!! May have a heart attack soon! So exciting. England have reignited my love for cricket. Yahooooo! Come on England!
Steve Gill: Sat in a field camping on the Welsh border with only 3G signal. Painful.
Need 65 runs from 48 balls
Neesham sends a slower ball out wide and Stokes tries to hammer it but can only pick out deep cover. Just a single.
And just four from that over. Top work by Jimmy Neesham.

The two guys out there are cool as cucumbers. We're all a mess up here but those two look as calm as you like.
Image source, AFPJimmy Neesham cranks it up to 87mph and fires in a wicked yorker that Ben Stokes does so well to jam his bat down on and keep out.
Stokes ends up flat on his face for his troubles. Better than getting bowled, mind.
Need 66 runs from 51 balls
Ben Stokes works it round the corner and picks up two.
Trent Boult has three overs left.
Lockie Ferguson also has three overs left.
Then New Zealand need three from Jimmy Neesham and/or Mitchell Santner.
It will be Neesham to bowl the 42nd over.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's very, very, very tight now.
After 41 overs England were 173-4.
New Zealand were 181-5...

England could do with a few more of these from Jos Buttler...
Need 69 runs from 54 balls
Yeesh. A very quick, well-directed bumper from Lockie Ferguson that Jos Buttler tries to hook despite not looking at it.
He misses. The crowd want a wide but that was right at the head, not over it.
Buttler taps the last down to long on for a single. Just three off the over - superb stuff by Ferguson.
Lockie Ferguson sends down three fine dot balls but errs with a very wide wide down leg.
