England take 2-0 lead in four-match series
Got all that?
That's it from Manchester. England go two up in the four-match series, and have more than six overs of putting their feet up time to boot.
We're back at Edbgaston on Sunday at 14:30 BST.
In the mean time, take a read of Ffion Wynne's report of tonight's action.
Have a good evening.
But don't think Atkinson had all the fun. Five other bowlers picked up New Zealand wickets.
England fielded express pacer Gus Atkinson for the first time. The 90mph bowler took the wicket of Devon Conway in his opening over, before returning to clean up the New Zealand tail with three scalps in five balls.
There really was quite a lot of them, you know...
It was a slow start for England, but opener Jonny Bairstow was joined by Harry Brook and the home side accelerated rapidly, with a battery of fours and sixes.
The players have had their say off the pitch, shall we remind ourselves of what they did on it?
More from Buttler on BBC Two: "A lot has happened for Gus very quickly over the last few months. It was great to have him here showing his skills. He did exactly what we wanted from him on debut - he bowled with great pace, great line. A great moment for him and I'm sure he'll be delighted.
"Having so many players to pick from is a good headache to have. You're always leaving out good players, which is tough.
"Harry Brook is playing brilliantly well, the way he played tonight and the other night, all credit must go to him. There's a lot of noise around the World Cup and him not being in that squad at the moment, but for him to just go and play the way he does - he's no different in the dressing room. Nothing seems to affect him.
"There's a long time between now and when we get on the plane - you never know what can happen."
England batter Jonny Bairstow speaking on BBC Two: "It's T20 cricket, it's action packed! It wasn't easy at the start, the ball was swinging and sometimes you've got to assess the conditions and then attack when you can. You had to target one of the shorter sides and target your bowlers.
"Generally at Old Trafford you have to go fairly hard in the powerplay but it was actually quite difficult. Both teams were around the 40-mark, then it was a case of how do we build from there. Building a partnership was really important.
"My injury took me out for quite a long time, I missed quite a lot of cricket. It's nice to spend time in the middle, just getting back to the rhythms of white ball cricket. It's different to Test cricket, I'm back opening the batting, all those little things that you sometimes take for granted when you've got a period of time leading in."
England captain Jos Buttler on BBC Two: "A fantastic innings from Jonny, he soaked up that pressure at the start and then he and Harry Brook put together an unbelievable partnership, it was a pleasure to watch.
"I do miss opening, it's a good place to bat but we're blessed with a lot of talent."
England fast bowler Gus Atkinson, who took 4-20, on BBC Two: "I didn't know those were the best figures by an England bowler on T20 debut - that's lovely to hear.
"It was amazing to have Sam Curran to present my cap, I've known him 10 or so years know so that was brilliant.
"They just told me to do what I've been doing and that's what I tried to do and it went great.
"I've sorted out my run-up, I'm running in a bit harder and that's giving me the confidence to put in a bit more effort.
"I try to keep as cool as possible and whatever happens happens - thankfully it went well."

This has been an outstanding display by England. They've looked a level above tonight.
New Zealand captain Tim Southee speaking on BBC Two: "England played brilliantly, the way Brooky came out really took it to us. We were probably a bit off with the ball, which makes it hard for our batters to chase down on that wicket. It's tough, chasing that score. You need something special.
"We started nicely, they had to go hard with the nature of the surface, which got slower as the game went on. But the way Brook played, we never really got the ascendancy back.
"We'll chat about this game, another quick turnaround, it's another opportunity in a couple of days time."
England batter Harry Brook speaking on BBC Two: "Jonny said it was a decent pitch, we went about our business as we ususally do. I try to play on instinct as much as possible and thankfully I hit a few out of the middle tonight.
"In recent times I've tried to play the ball on merit as much as possible. If I feel I can take an option on, I'll take it. I try and move around in the crease as much as possible, I'm just trying to hit the ball where it's meant to be hit.
"A couple of years ago I was getting too far head of myself, thinking about playing for England and not concentrating on playing for Yorkshire. I just knuckled down and thankfully it's worked out.
"I try to get myself in decent fielding positions, it's a lot more fun when you get yourself in decent positions. Glenn Phillips is an unbelievable player, it's always nice seeing the back of him."

England are absolutely purring along. Everything they try is coming up gold.

That's the way to finish things! A fourth wicket on debut for Atkinson.
Ferguson b Atkinson (NZ 103 all out)
Finished with the next delivery!
Lockie Ferguson is a fast bowler himself, so he'll respect this delivery even if he doesn't enjoy it.
Stumps splayed, Atkinson finishes with 4-20 from 2.5 overs on debut, a magnificent start to his international career.
England win by 95 runs and go two up in this four-match series. A hammering.

A really good debut for Gus Atkinson. He's bowled quickly and with skill.
This is a hammering.
Southee lbw Atkinson 8 (NZ 103-9)
Another one for Atkinson!
Southee's cameo is cut short as the England debutant has the New Zealand captain lbw, walking across his stumps towards point. The ball strikes him on his pads on the off stump.
Southee sent it upstairs but three reds - that's out.
Southee gets a six with his second ball, smashing Atkinson down the ground baseball style!
James Anderson
England bowler on BBC Two
A very good catch by Jos Buttler - never easy looking up into the night sky.
