    He is. Moeen Ali.

    Buttler has picked up a helmet on his way out. Starting with spin?

    I've just been asked if I went trick of treating last night.

    Absolutely not. On any other night such actions - knocking on a door and demanding sweets in exchange for not committing an act of vandalism - would be a police matter.

    Halloween is not a thing.

    There. I've said it.

    But it's not like England and New Zealand have a history of tight games, is it?

  5. Post update

    Having said that, my feeling is England have too many.

    If they bowl well.

  6. Post update

    On top of that, two things from the first innings.

    The Kane Williamson 'catch' cost England a run. The Alex Hales stumping should have been a wide. That's another run and another ball.

    Morning. Keep a few things in mind in the second half of this game.

    No team has ever chased this many to win a T20 international at the Gabba. Only four previous times have England scored this many in a T20 and failed to win.

    A reminder that England realistically need to win this game if they are going to progress to the semi-finals.

    Stephan Shemilt will take you through New Zealand's chase of 180.

    New Zealand's two spinners looked very difficult to hit in that innings. Don't forget England have one more of them in their XI. Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone will have a massive role to play.

    Here are some of the best moments from England's 179-6...

    No matter where you're playing in the world and how big the boundaries are, 180 is never a straightforward chase.

    England are favourites at half way.

    New Zealand are going to have to bat very well on a wicket that's deteriorating. It's a good score.

  13. Post update

    That score definitely gives England a chance.

    Dawid Malan finishes three not out and Sam Curran goes off with six to his name.

    Decent little cameos throughout the innings after the half-centuries from Jos Buttler and Alex Hales at the top of the innings.

  14. Eng 179-6

    Good ball.

    Decent shot.

    Poor fielding.

    England run three.

    New Zealand will need 180 to win.

    So many games go down to the last ball. Just get bat on ball, there are big pockets of the outfield so worst case scenario you get two.

  16. Post update

    Dawid Malan, demoted from three, is going to face the last ball.

    Good luck, son...

    Stokes lbw b 8 (Eng 176-6)

    Gone!

    Umpire's call on off-stump.

  18. Post update

    This could actually be missing off stump...

    It is very full and hits Ben Stokes on the boot.

    Ex-New Zealand batter

    That is a beautiful bit of bowling. He might as well use the review but it's cannoning into middle stump!
