  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13.1 overs

    Seifert c Buttler b Atkinson 38 (NZ 95-8)

    Wickets in successive balls as Atkinson gets another!

    Sent spiralling into the Manchester sky by Seifert. It's the England keeper's to take and he has plenty of time to run half-way down the pitch and take the ball with outstretched hands.

    That's a really tough chance at slip - you don't expect a reverse sweep to come straight to you.

    It's the double act! They enjoyed that one.

  4. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 13 overs

    Milne c Moeen b Rashid 2 (NZ 95-7)

    Best pals taking wickets together!

    Milne goes for the reverse sweep off Rashid's final ball and just turns the ball round for an easy catch for Moeen at slip.

    It looks dismal for New Zealand now.

    It's just not happening. Anything the Kiwis try it turning to disaster.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 12 overs

    Santner b Jacks 8 (NZ 88-6)

    One all-rounder has another! Jacks is into the attack and he takes the wicket of Mitchell Santner.

    A slightly desperate shot from the bespectacled Kiwi, knowing he has to force the rate. A wild swing and a miss, the ball cleans up the stumps.

    Into the New Zealand tail now as Adam Milne comes to the crease.

  8. NZ 83-5published at 11 overs

    Just the two runs from Rashid's over until the last delivery.

    Mitchell Santner finds the boundary with a nice drive through the covers, evading the chasing Harry Brook.

  9. NZ 77-5published at 10 overs

    Solid from Carse until his final ball, which is short and heading down leg. Seifert helps it on its way and the ball looks set for the boundary before a sprawling Adil Rashid cuts it off.

    We reach the halfway stage and New Zealand are decidedly behind the rate.

    That was a beautiful delivery. It nipped back in towards Mitchell.

    England were adamant.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 9.2 overs

    Mitchell c Buttler b Carse 0 (NZ 74-5)

    Spike on snicko! New batter Daryl Mitchell is gone for a duck.

    Carse beat him for pace, taking the inside edge between bat and body as the ball cut through the New Zealand all-rounder.

    New Zealand most definitely in trouble now. In comes Mitchell Santner at number seven.

  13. Umpire reviewpublished at 9.2 overs

    Jos Buttler is throwing the ball up in the air triumphantly. Has Mitchell edged Carse behind?

    Not out says the umpire, England aren't having that - we go upstairs.

    New Zealand will be frustrated. They decided to take on Livingstone but Chapman didn't quite the distance he was looking for.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 9 overs

    Chapman c Brook b Livingstone 15 (NZ 72-4)

    Livingstone strikes back!

    He goes for four more as Seifert squeezes the ball past Bairstow, before getting his wicket with the final delivery of the over.

    Chapman tries to lift him down the ground once more and it's that man Brook on the boundary again to take the catch.

  16. 6 runs

    NZ 66-3published at 8.2 overs

    Well, I said New Zealand needs to accelerate. Are they going to target Liam Livingstone?

    Chapman launches the England bowler down the ground for the first six of the innings, then sweeps for four more.

  17. NZ 56-3published at 8 overs

    Chapman hurries through a single from Moeen's first ball - Seifert dives for the crease and shreds his gloves, he has to ask for new ones to be brought out.

    Seifert gets four down to point. This is the point England started to accelerate, can New Zealand do the same?

    That is Adil Rashid's 97th wicket in T20 internationals.

    He goes ahead of Chris Jordan, with 96, as England's leading T20 wicket-taker.

    He has 346 wickets in all formats - and that puts him in England's all-time top 10 wicket-takers.

    This is an opportunity for England to close out the game in the middle overs, letting the spinners get to work and drying things up.

  20. NZ 47-3published at 7 overs

    A single for new batter Mark Chapman, who played international cricket for Hong Kong before switching to New Zealand.

    Two more singles follow - this pair won't have long to get their eye in.
