  1. NZ 236-2published at 39.2 overs

    Target 292

    Short from Gus Atkinson and Daryl Mitchell pulls it away behind square for four.

    Both Kiwi batters are very well set and it feels like a matter of when, not if, the visitors seal the win.

  2. Postpublished at 19:27 British Summer Time 8 September 2023

    Adil Rashid had a long break between spell and, when he did return, Daryl Mitchell pumped his first ball into the stands...

  3. NZ 231-2published at 39 overs

    Target 292

    Adil Rashid comes back well and Daryl Mitchell swings and misses at a googly.

    He did not pick that. Just two more singles from the over but six in total means New Zealand's required rate drops further.

  4. NZ 229-2published at 38.1 overs

    Target 292

    Daryl Mitchell is determined not to let Adil Rashid settle and gets four with an ugly leg-side heave.

  5. NZ 225-2published at 38 overs

    Target 292

    Streaky boundary to end the Gus Atkinson over.

    Devon Conway doesn't look comfortable playing the short ball from the England fast bowler, half ducks and half offers a pull shot and the ball goes down to fine leg for four.

    A decent over from Atkinson but New Zealand take seven from it.

  6. 100 runs

    NZ 218-2published at 37 overs

    Target 292

    Adil Rashid drags the next ball down and is pulled away for four by Daryl Mitchell.

    That takes it down to less than a run-a-ball.

    A single from Conway later in the over brings up the 100 partnership. New Zealand are cruising to victory, it seems.

  7. 6 runs

    NZ 209-2published at 36.1 overs

    Target 292

    Daryl Mitchell gets after Adil Rashid first ball!

    He skips down to the leg-spinner, hits down the ground and, although he doesn't get all of it, the straight boundaries are short enough that it comfortably clears Liam Livingstone at long on.

  8. NZ 203-2published at 36 overs

    Target 292

    Good over from Gus Atkinson, just four singles from it.

    Ah, interesting. After spending a while off the field with cramp, Adil Rashid is now able to bowl again and he's going to bowl the next over.

  9. Postpublished at 19:11 British Summer Time 8 September 2023

    Thanks Jonty. New Zealand look like they're in complete control at the moment. England need wickets - and very quickly.

    Debutant Gus Atkinson is coming back on to try and start that process...

  10. NZ 199-2published at 35 overs

    Target 292

    Daryl Mitchell passes his half-century, trying to pull away a half-tracker that is stopped by Woakes, but was a very tricky chance, with Livingstone going for 12 off that over.

    That's all from me, Sam Drury will be taking you through the final 15 overs.

  11. 6 runs

    NZ 193-2published at 34.1 overs

    Livingstone had been tidy, but Mitchell smashes it back over his head for six!

    That will go some way towards lowering the required run-rate for the visitors.

  12. NZ 187-2published at 34 overs

    Target 292

    The second ball of that over from Woakes was smashed to the boundary at deep mid-wicket for four.

    In total, eight come from it as we approach a drinks break.

    It will be interesting to see how England use these final 16 overs. Livingstone remains on, having gone at just over three an over so far.

  13. Postpublished at 19:02 British Summer Time 8 September 2023

    It has been tough at times for Topley with the ball, New Zealand have gotten joy off him at times.

  14. NZ 179-2published at 33 overs

    Target 292

    A very quick but tidy over from Livingstone, conceding just two runs from it.

    Woakes to continue after creating that chance off Mitchell.

  15. NZ 177-2published at 32 overs

    Target 292

    Just three come from that Woakes over, including the tough chance for Buttler.

    Livingstone continues, who has started very economically.

  16. dropped catch

    Dropped catchpublished at 31.3 overs

    Target 292

    A tough chance for Buttler but there was a faint bottom edge from Mitchell off a shorter Woakes delivery.

  17. NZ 174-2published at 31 overs

    Target 292

    One loosener from Livingstone early on but he recovered well.

    There was almost a chance for a catch as Mitchell sweeps but it falls short.

    Chris Woakes is returning to the attack.

  18. NZ 170-2published at 30 overs

    Target 292

    Conway dispatches the first ball of Topley's over with a four, which Mitchell matches in the over's penultimate ball, also finding the boundary on the legside.

    Ten come from the over, New Zealand need 122 off 120 balls to win, fractionally over a run a ball.

    Devon Conway can be a bit of a scratchy starter, but once he gets in he times the ball really well.

  20. NZ 160-2published at 29 overs

    Target 292

    Like Livingstone's first over, New Zealand fail to find the boundary off his second.

    Just three runs coming from it and the second delivery found the pads of Conway, but the impact was outside the line and it was missing the off stump.
