  1. Jos Buttler can't do much wrong in my eyes but this was a spectacularly bad review.

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

    That's the challenge of having too much pace. How did Glenn Phillips even contemplate that as a catch?

    I love the intent but he's a long way out, it fell possibly three metres short.

  3. Eng 51-1

    Target 140

    Something is happening pretty much every ball at the moment.

    Dawid Malan gets a thin edge off the next ball and it dribbles away really fine for four.

    He then clubs into the leg-side and Glenn Phillips almost loses all of his teeth as he tries to take a catch. He gets nowhere near it and the ball bounces past him and away for four.

    Another good over for England, 15 from it.

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

    Santner is not a big turner of the ball. On this occasion, Malan shimmied into line.

    A one-two step and then straight down the ground.

  5. Eng 40-1

    Target 140

    Mitchell Santner beats Dawid Malan with his first ball but the England left-hander responds by clubbing the next ball straight back over the spinner's head for four.

  6. We're going to see spin in the powerplay as Tim Southee turns to left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner.

    WinViz is 68-32 in England's favour at the moment.

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

    It's magnificent.

  8. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It's always a surreal experience listening to Woody.

  9. Eng 36-1

    Target 140

    Good comeback from Lockie Ferguson, just going for two through mid-wicket from the last three balls of the over.

    A good over for England though, 16 from it.

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

    A beautiful free flow of the bat. This is why he is so highly rated. This is just a super cricket shot.

    The power over cover really is unique.

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 34-1

    Target 140

    Will Jacks!

    Even better.

    Lockie Ferguson goes full and Jacks just slices it over extra cover for six.

    Unreal shot.

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

    This is the talent of Will Jacks. He's so dominant through the off side. The timing and the power he can generate through that area make him so difficult to bowl to.

  13. Eng 28-1

    Target 140

    Good from Will Jacks.

    He uses the pace of Lockie Ferguson to drive over the covers for four, before giving himself some room and clubbing over mid-off for another boundary.

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

    Malan, like plenty of others, has struggled for timing. That was off the lower half of the bat.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Malan wallops that to the leg-side as if to say, 'I didn't like that delay'.

  16. Eng 20-1

    Target 140

    Shot!

    A bit of length from Tim Southee and Dawid Malan plants his front foot down and whacks it over mid-wicket for four.

    Lovely strike.

  17. Here's how Jonny Bairstow was dismissed by Tim Southee for four.

  18. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Big swing from Malan, he tried to launch it out of Chester-le-Street but he couldn't do it.

  19. Eng 12-1

    Target 140

    After sending down an off-side wide Adam Milne over compensates and Dawid Malan is able to work through mid-wicket for a couple.

    Oh, it was a no-ball too, but Malan can't capitalise as he plays an ugly hoick at the free hit.

    Malan was dropped by Trent Rockets in The Hundred so hasn't been in the best of form with the bat.

  20. Mark Wood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Adam Milne is proper fast.
