When it's on these wickets.

Poor start from Rashid.

Looking a little better.

The name's Conway.
I believe you've met him, England.

Looking very similar to the England innings so far.

Curious that it feels they are miles behind Eng's run rate at this point!

Kerrist that's an uncultured shot for 6.

Not miles behind.

NZ looking to accelerate now, very comfortable against Wood's pace.

Ugh, this is tense. Would rather be England in this situation, but NZ have so many wickets in hand and a host of six hitters waiting in the wings.

Almost an incredible stop by Jordan, but the ball clipped the boundary on the way down.

I know. I think it was only 1 run at the 10 over mark. Just felt so much slower.

Conway gone giving Livingstone the charge. For a "part-time" bowler he's really quite good. Beautiful.

And that's why I really prefer to see a straight bat if you are going to charge a slow bowler.

Does mean a big hitter comes in - probably what they needed at this point anyway.

Getting ugly for NZ now. Realistically needs 2 boundaries an over or a complete meltdown by one Eng bowler in 1 over.

Next 10 balls probably decides this.

Phew. Phillips gone. Two more(?) hitters left alongside Mitchell.

Fabulous bowling by Livingstone. 2-22 and looked unplayable at times.

So we need a 20 run over.

Probably 2 of them in a row.

Nope, it's six. Shades of Boult treading on the rope - fine margins. Horrific over for Jordan so far.

We've struggled to take them!

Neesham blats another one out of the ground. They're gonna win this at a canter. Our lack of death bowler is murdering us :-(
