Glorious from Devon Conway! Another straight drive of the highest quality races to the boundary.
He's up to 88 from 67 balls and looks in remarkable touch.

Target 283
It's not just the boundaries that are hurting England - although they really are. They are also allowing far too many singles inside the 30-yard circle.
They can't build any pressure whatsoever.

Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match SpecialThat wasn't a big mistake from Rashid. Two or three inches too full. That has really hurt England.

Target 283
Just as it looks like England might be about to string together two economical overs in a row, Devon Conway gets down on one knee and launches the ball high over deep mid-wicket for six.
It wasn't an awful ball from Adil Rashid but Conway is seeing it so well now, it doesn't have to be bad to get the treatment.

Target 283
Chris Woakes was very expensive in his first spell but comes back with a much more economical over, just a pair of singles from it.
That's a start for England. The required rate soars to a whopping 4.45 an over.

Target 283
Five singles from the over plus a wasted England review.
New Zealand are romping to victory as it stands. It would take something incredibly special to change that now.

As expected, ball-tracking confirms the impact was well outside the line. Not out.

England reviewpublished at 17.5 overs
NZ 142-1
England are desperate and go for a review for lbw as Moeen Ali hits Devon Conway on the front pad.
I'll tell you now, it hit him well outside the line.

Rachin Ravindra has been merciless in punishing the England bowlers the moment they have erred in either line or length...

England need to dig deep here for something, net run rate could come into it and a heavy opening defeat will put them under pressure.

I'm going to say it: I'm not sure England have got enough runs on the board here...
Time for drinks.

Four more. Rachin Ravindra whips Adil Rashid through wide long on and the runs continue to flow.

Target 283
Thanks, Ffion. I'm here until 30 overs and, at this rate, this game could be all over by then.
Five singles to start Moeen Ali's over before Devon Conway thumps a cover drive to the boundary to end it.
No let up from New Zealand and England are getting a pasting.

Target 283
Devon Conway looks in such good form that he's even finding boundaries when he gets the shot wrong.
He's deceived by some turn but still manages to straight-pull Adil Rashid down the ground for four, before mis-timing a drive to the cover boundary for good measure.
Well, I haven't provided you with many England wickets during this stint, so let's see if Sam Drury can fare any better.
In a bit!

Former New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match SpecialRavindra has to play now, he's got to be in the mix even when Kane Williamson is back.
These are positive options for New Zealand.
