  1. NZ 157-2published at 28 overs

    Target 292

    Again, steady from Topley, as New Zealand pick up four.

    It could have been more after a strong shot from Mitchell down the legside, with Rashid only denying it via a diving stop and relay throw.

    It feels like the countdown is on for England to try and break this partnership without things getting out of hand.

  3. NZ 153-2published at 27 overs

    Target 292

    A tidy start for Liam Livingstone with the ball in hand. Four comes from it, all of which being singles.

    Topley keeps the ball at the other end after a decent previous over.

  4. Postpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 8 September 2023

    The answer? Yes.

    Livingstone is coming into the attack, replacing Willey.

  5. NZ 149-2published at 26 overs

    Target 292

    Some joy in that over from Topley, as New Zealand scored just three runs off it, one of which being via a leg-side wide.

    Now time for another drinks break

    Liam Livingstone seemed to get his arms rolling a moment ago. Could we see him in the attack soon?

    Devon Conway is after David Willey, he's thumping him down the ground.

  7. NZ 146-2published at 25 overs

    Target 292

    At the halfway point, New Zealand are exactly halfway towards their target.

    Five coming off the first two balls from Willey, but then four dot balls, with a couple of half chances of caught and bowled for Willey bowling at Conway.

    Adil Rashid is now back on the field after a spell off with cramp.

  8. Postpublished at 18:28 British Summer Time 8 September 2023

    Here is Daryl Mitchell's six from a couple of overs ago, definitely New Zealand's shot of the day so far.

  9. NZ 141-2published at 24 overs

    Target 292

    Topley started tidily but is the pulled for four off his fifth delivery by Conway, who cannot get the final delivery past mid-off.

    Five coming from that over, although Topley has been going at 10s after an expensive start to his innings.

    Two good overs in this spell so far from Willey. Will it be a third?

  10. NZ 136-2published at 23 overs

    Target 292

    Just three runs going off that over from Willey, whose two overs since coming back on have caused problems for New Zealand.

    There looks to be a little bit of movement in this pitch now and with that, Reece Topley replaces Gus Atkinson in the attack.

    Here is the moment Willey removed Nicholls in his previous over.

    A rendition of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' has just been belted out from the crowd.

    I have absolutely no idea why.

    Talk about staying with the shot. It was just about short of a length and Daryl Mitchell kept his head down as he went through with the shot.

  14. NZ 133-2published at 22 overs

    Target 292

    New Zealand score 13 off that over, a tough one for Atkinson.

    His second ball, which New Zealand took two runs off, was then called a no ball. On the free hit, Atkinson bowled a wide.

    Mitchell's six and a couple of singles totted up there, not in favour of the debutant.

    NZ 132-2published at 21.4 overs

    Target 292

    Shot!

    A challenging over here for Atkinson and Mitchell drives it straight back over his head and well over the hoardings for six.

    He already finds himself on double figues.

    Here is the moment Devon Conway passed 50 with a four.

  17. NZ 120-2published at 21 overs

    Target 292

    A good return to the attack for Willey, getting that wicket of Nicholls. New Zealand did score off every other ball of that over, getting six off it.

    More on Rashid leaving the field. He has cramp, but is expected to return to the field later in the innings.

    New Zealand still have plenty of work to do. It could be one of those tight one-day finishes.

    New Zealand were massively in the driving seat.

    It was a little bit wide, not the line Willey would have been hoping for but it jagged away off the surface and got Nicholls reaching for it.

    That keeps England in the hunt. Good change-up from the bowler.

    Nicholls c Buttler b Willey 26 (NZ 117-2)

    A breakthrough for England!

    David Willey comes back into the attack and with a wider ball, finds the edge of Nicholls, who is caught behind with ease by Buttler.

    New Zealand had been looking comfortable but the partnership is broken and Daryl Mitchell comes out to bat.
