BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt is absolutely going to plan for New Zealand in this final over.

Ahmed run out (Henry) 11 (Eng 173-7)
Rehan Ahmed hits back to the bowler, and sacrifices himself.
He gets Livingstone back on strike but is run out by the bowler in the process.
Eng 172-6published at 19.2 overs
Matt Henry said earlier his favourite thing in white-ball cricket is a crowd cheering for two, and I think mine is when a bowler nails a wide yorker bang on the blue line.
It's so satisfying. The other Matt Henry nails it perfectly to Rehan Ahmed.

James Anderson
England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialAt the start of the innings I would have thought 200-plus but now having seen it, and the fact it has slowed up, then 180 might be enough if England bowl well.
Eng 171-6published at 19 overs
Brilliant work from Tim Southee, who responds to being hit for six with a couple of sharp yorkers that spear into Livingstone's toes.
One over to go. How much damage can Livingstone do?
Not outpublished at 18.5 overs
No. Comfortably home.
A great throw from Phillips in the boundary hits the stumps, but unfortunately for New Zealand all it does is allow the batters to scamper a third run.
Umpire reviewpublished at 18.5 overs
Has Glenn Phillips pulled off a bit of magic from the deep?
Liam Livingstone doesn't look remotely bothered.
Eng 167-6published at 18.3 overs
Tim Southee wisely tries to keep the ball out of Liam Livingstone's hitting arc, bowling wide of off stump, but Livingstone just clubs it over the covers instead.
Silly.

Welcome, Rehan Ahmed!
The leg-spinner heaves his second ball back over the bowler's head for six!

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialFinn Allen has made that catch look very easy.
WICKETpublished at 17.2 overs
Curran c Allen b Ravindra 5 (Eng 150-6)
The wickets continue to tumble as Finn Allen pulls off a juggling act on the boundary.
They make these catches look so ridiculously simple. Sam Curran swipes one out towards long-off, and Allen takes it cleanly. He then steadies himself by throwing the ball up in the air and stepping outside the boundary for a second, before stepping back in and completing the move.
The umpires check it, but it's fine. Smart work from the fielder.

James Anderson
England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialLiam Livingstone has a slightly different role to Harry Brook. He's more likely to come in at six or seven in the ODI side and he may almost be in the side for his bowling, rather than his batting.
I spoke to him earlier and he says his body feels good but he needs some runs now. He feels that himself.
Eng 149-5published at 17 overs
Sam Curran slashes a short, wide one from Matt Henry over point for four valuable runs, getting himself off the mark in style.
The other Matt Henry then gets a glimpse of his favourite thing in cricket, as Curran dabs into the leg side, thinks of a second but ultimately disappoints the waiting crowd as he realises that it's the rapid Glenn Phillips charging towards him.

Matthew Henry
BBC Sport at Trent BridgeThe collective shout of “twoooo” from a crowd when a batter drops the ball to the edge of the circle is one of my favourite things about white-ball cricket.

After a roaring start for England, New Zealand have dragged things back very well.

James Anderson
England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is another good catch. Moeen Ali doesn't quite time it and Glenn Phillips is never going to drop that.
Moeen was just trying to up the ante because England will want to get up to 180-190.
WICKETpublished at 16 overs
Moeen c Phillips b Santner 1 (Eng 140-5)
England's stand-in skipper Moeen Ali is cheered to the crease, as he so often is, but his knock doesn't last very long.
Just two balls, in fact. Moeen slog sweeps out to Glenn Phillips at deep square leg, who has a fair bit of ground to cover but he doesn't drop many.
The ever-reliable Santner finishes his spell with 3-30.
