  1. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    England just look a bit freer than New Zealand. They've had a few short balls to get their hands through.

  2. Eng 94-2

    Need 46 from 60 balls

    Lockie Ferguson, with his long hair, black headband and black boots, is back into the attack.

    England just work him around for six runs. No need to take any risks.

  3. Here's how Will Jacks was dismissed for 22.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    BBC radio commentator

    England are cruising to victory here.

  5. Eng 88-2

    Target 140

    Good fielding restricts Harry Brook to a couple through the leg-side before he tries to cut Ish Sodhi away but there isn't the width for the shot and it goes through to Tim Seifert.

    England need 52 from 66 balls.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Nonchalant. Brook just waited, saw the length and dispatched.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 86-2

    Target 140

    Ufff. Back-to-back sixes for Harry Brook.

    Ish Sodhi drops short and Brook just smacks it over mid-wicket.

    That is what Will Jacks was trying to do but Brook manages to.

    We need a new ball now.

  8. Daniel Norcross
    BBC radio commentator

    Over long off for six. With a minimum of fuss. That is such a Harry Brook shot.

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 80-2

    Target 140

    No need to worry, Dan.

    Harry Brook gets under a full ball from Ish Sodhi and plants him back down the ground for six.

    Effortless.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    BBC radio commentator

    Runs are just drying up a little bit here. But England are still well ahead of the rate.

  11. Eng 73-2

    Target 140

    Good over from Mitch Santner, conceding just three singles and a bye.

    New Zealand need wickets, though.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    BBC radio commentator

    That was close. It's a pretty big boundary, it was in the air for a long time and just evades the fielder.

  13. 6 runs

    Eng 69-2

    Target 140

    Harry Brook, one of the most-talked about men in England in the last few weeks, is the new batter.

    The right-hander is off the mark with first ball with a single.

    That brings Dawid Malan on strike and he slog-sweeps Ish Sodhi. It has Mark Chapman interested on the square-leg boundary but it just clears him as he attempts a spectacular one-handed catch.

    Malan is up to 36 off 28 balls.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Chester-le-Street

    Will Jacks couldn't do that again if he tried.

  15. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Jacks was going well. He was trying to hit everything out of the park and he almost bent his back too much.

    He rotated his hands through too early, he's clothed it and it fell perfectly for Finn Allen.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Jacks c Allen b Sodhi 22 (Eng 62-2)

    Soft!

    It's a rank long-hop from Ish Sodhi but Will Jacks absolutely cloths the attempted pull, as he looks to hit it miles back into the crowd.

    It also looks like Jacks hits the ball twice almost, off the top of the bat and then almost catches up with it, with the lower part of the bat.

    Finn Allen takes a simple catch on the square-leg boundary and Jacks just stares at his bat as he walks off.

  17. Will Jacks took a particular liking to Lockie Ferguson...

  18. Stephen Fleming
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That sort of came out of the blue because Malan has been struggling for his timing.

    He just stayed on the ball and stroked it. It's just a good body position and then he's through the ball.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    BBC radio commentator

    That's a terrific shot. Sumptuous shot.

  20. Eng 61-1

    Target 140

    Beautiful from Dawid Malan.

    The left-hander stands tall and just crisply drives Adam Milne through extra cover for a glorious four.

    End of the powerplay and England have undoubtedly won it. New Zealand were 38-3 at the same stage.
