The irony...

It's been through boundaries that New Zealand have pushed away from England.

Daryl Mitchell is in a hurry now!

He thumps Adil Rashid back over his head for six to start the over then goes inside-out over extra cover for four next ball.

Superb batting.

Daryl Mitchell scored 35 from his first 47 balls and then 65 runs from his next 37 balls to reach his century.

A nudge into the onside from Daryl Mitchell and that's his hundred. It comes up from just 84 balls.

A fantastic knock from the Kiwi all-rounder to take his side to the brink of victory.

That 150 partnership between Mitchell and Conway came off 138 balls.

The 150 partnership comes up with a single, it's been superb from Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell.

It's quite clear that Daryl Mitchell has no intent of worrying about a milestone or a century, all he cares about is clearing the ropes. His eye is in at the moment and he wants to get this done.

Daryl Mitchell does try to go to three figures with a maximum but doesn't manage it this time.

He swings and misses at a big-turner from Adil Rashid then skews the last ball over the over into the off side.

It lands safely and he'll have another chance at the start of the next over.

Conway bought up his 100 off 115 balls. He's hit 13 fours and it is his fourth ODI hundred. He reached 50 off 57 balls and it took 58 more to reach his century.

That's a very tidy over from Liam Livingstone. Just a single from it but, surely, it only delays the inevitable.

Conway is so organised, he adds a real glue to this side.

That's a really good 100 from Conway, it's been a classic 50 over opening batter's innings. Graceful strokes, all those who have come today have seen an innings to remember.

NZ 246-2

After a couple of dot balls to start the over, Devon Conway clips the ball out to long-on to bring up his fourth ODI century from 115 balls.

A superb and very well-paced knock from the left-hander. He's guiding New Zealand to a comfortable win.

Without him, it might not have been anywhere near so straightforward.

I don't we've learned a huge amount from today. Livingstone had a good day, we didn't really learn anything about Brook. It's hard to create the intensity of a World Cup with a series of four one-day internationals, the series is not even an odd number of matches.

Devon Conway moves to 97 with a superb reverse sweep for four off Adil Rashid.

He repeats the shot but just as he must be readying himself to remove his helmet and celebrate a ton, the short fine leg fielder dives to his left to cut it off.

Just a single. Another one at the end of the over takes the New Zealand opener to 99.

There are 10 overs to go, New Zealand need another 54 to win and take a 1-0 lead in this four-match series.

It would take something very special for England to win from here.

Daryl Mitchell has scored 41 runs from his last 22 balls.
