43.4 - Ben Wheeler to Willey, FOUR, poor bit of fielding from Elliott in the deep, this was banged in around off, Willey pulls it to deep backward square leg, Elliott in the deep runs to his right, puts in the dive but allows the ball to escape through

41.1 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, great shot from Stokes! He backs away to this full delivery around the leg-stump line, lifts it over extra cover and it races away to the fence

41.0 - Matt Henry to S Billings, FOUR, this is great batting from Billings. This was a calculated risk from him as he lofts this full delivery over mid-off knowing it was inside the circle. Even though he didn't connect too well, it was good enough for a one-bounce four

40.4 - Matt Henry to S Billings, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Billings. He goes across, kneels down and tries to sweep this back of a length delivery outside off, he gets a top-edge that goes very fine and crashes into the fence

40.3 - Matt Henry to S Billings, FOUR, comes down the track and slogs this length ball wide of long-on, made a good connection and it races away

40.0 - McClenaghan to S Billings, FOUR, third consecutive boundary for Billings, he goes right across his stumps and scoops this back of a length delivery over short fine leg for another four

39.5 - McClenaghan to S Billings, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Billings, he waits for this short ball to arrive and pulls it wide of mid-on, who dives across but it goes in vain. The ball runs away to the fence

39.4 - McClenaghan to S Billings, FOUR, goes across to this full delivery well outside off, he scoops it over short fine leg and the ball runs away to the fence

37.1 - McClenaghan to Stokes, FOUR, brilliant shot! This was very full on the stumps, Stokes clears his front leg and drills it past the non-striker, long-on runs to his right but fails to stop the ball

36.1 - Southee to Buttler, FOUR, short delivery slightly wide outside off, Buttler hammers it through the covers and gets it wide of mid-off, runs away to the fence in a jiffy

36.0 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, full outside off, Stokes leans forward and lifts it over extra cover, 14 runs came off the over

35.5 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, back of a length delivery, Stokes pulls it to the right of mid-on and the ball runs away to the fence

35.3 - Ben Wheeler to Buttler, FOUR, Buttler goes right across his stumps and scoops this back of a length delivery over the keeper, he connected well and the ball goes for a one-bounce four

33.5 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, drilled! That's a great shot from Stokes, he leans forward to this full delivery on the stumps and drives it hard past the non-striker, there was no stopping that ball from reaching the fence

32.1 - Williamson to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, Williamson drags it short and pays the price for it. Morgan rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket, splits deep mid-wicket and long-on to perfection, the fielder from long-on dived near the rope, but the ball wins the race

31.2 - Elliott to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, once again it's full and on the stumps, Morgan clears his front leg and lofts it straight down the ground, the ball runs away to the fence

29.0 - McClenaghan to Stokes, FOUR, lovely shot, width on offer from McClenaghan, Stokes gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square past point, no chance for either of the two men in the deep

27.0 - McClenaghan to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, cheeky and four, this was banged in short and just outside off, Morgan waits on it, opens the face of the bat at the last moment and ramps it over the lone slip, a couple of bounces and over the ropes

17.3 - McClenaghan to J Root, FOUR, on the pads this time, Root works it through mid-wicket, mid-on gives chase but the ball beats him to the fence. Both McClenaghan and Henry are proving to be expensive here

13.2 - McClenaghan to J Root, FOUR, poor ball form McClenaghan, it was short, wide and got the punishment it deserved. Root rocks back and cuts it square of the wicket, splits backward point and cover-point, the ball races away to the fence

13.1 - McClenaghan to J Root, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Root drives it uppishly to the right of backward point, luckily for him it was in the gap. Sweeper runs to his left in the deep, puts in the dive but the ball beats him to the fence

12.0 - Ben Wheeler to J Root, FOUR, Root gets lucky! This was on a length just outside off, Root comes down the track and goes hard at it, gets an inside edge that rolls away past the leg stump and runs away to the fence

3.3 - Ben Wheeler to Hales, FOUR, drifts onto the pads this time, Hales glances it fine, fine leg was squarer and had no chance of stopping that

2.3 - Southee to Hales, FOUR, cracking shot! Nice way to get off the mark. It was a good length ball just outside off, Hales offers full face of the bat and punches it to the right of mid-off, it runs away to the fence in no time

0.4 - Southee to Jason Roy, FOUR, bit too straight from Southee, Roy flicks it off his pads behind square on the on-side and the ball runs away to the fence

37.5 - McClenaghan to Stokes, SIX, nice way to get to your fifty, his 2nd in ODIs. This was a length ball on middle and leg, Stokes waits for the ball to arrive and smashes it over the deep mid-wicket fence with a mighty swing. Too much power there from him

31.4 - Elliott to Eoin Morgan, SIX, and again! this was hit even better by Morgan. It was full on the stumps, Morgan comes foward and lofts it over the bowler's head, the umpire signals a six

27.2 - Mitchell Santner to Stokes, SIX, massive, this was tossed up and just outside off, Stokes goes down on his knees, gets underneath the length and swings it high and over wide mid-wicket, sends it a long way into the crowd

19.3 - Mitchell Santner to Eoin Morgan, SIX, Morgan is not going to hold back against the left-arm spinner, he comes down the track and tonks this flighted delivery over the cow corner fence with ease

45.2 - Southee to Finn, out Bowled!! England have been bowled out here. New Zealand have made a rousing comeback towards the later part of the English innings. This was a fullish delivery angling in on off, Finn looks to push at it, he misses and the ball sneaks past the inside edge and crashes into the top of off stump. Finn b Southee 0(2)

44.3 - Matt Henry to Willey, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! Another one bites the dust. Willey, the latest casualty for England. This was banged in short and outside off, Willey backs away and wanted to flat-bat it over mid-off, he doesn't connect too well and McCullum moves to his left from mid-off and takes it easily. Willey c Brendon McCullum b Matt Henry 8(9) [4s-1]

44.0 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, out Bowled!! Wheeler picks the big wicket of Stokes, who was threatening to run away with this game. This is a big, big wicket for New Zealand. Stokes backs away this time as he goes for a slog and Wheeler bowls a cutter that is full and on the leg-stump line, Stokes failed to lay bat on it and the leg stump was uprooted. England are losing the plot here. Stokes b Ben Wheeler 68(47) [4s-7 6s-2]

42.2 - Matt Henry to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Guptill!! Rashid departs without troubling the scorers. Henry gets his first wicket of the game.

Adil Rashid c Guptill b Matt Henry 0(1)

41.4 - Ben Wheeler to S Billings, out Caught by McClenaghan!! Finally, Wheeler gets his man. This was short and wide outside off, Billings looks to cut it late and get it up and over short third man. He doesn't get the desired connection. McClenaghan goes back and takes a simple catch. A good cameo from Billings comes to and end. S Billings c McClenaghan b Ben Wheeler 34(16) [4s-6]

36.2 - Southee to Buttler, out Caught by Ronchi!! A short and wide delivery brings about Buttler's downfall. Like the last game, he chases a wide delivery and ends up edging it to the keeper. Had he left it, the umpire might have called it a wide as it was on the tramline. He looks unhappy with himself as he walks back. Half the English side is back in the hut now. Buttler c Ronchi b Southee 13(10) [4s-2]

33.0 - Williamson to Eoin Morgan, out Bowled!! The Williamson gamble has worked for Brendon McCullum. This was bowled slower through the air and on the stumps, Morgan kneels down and goes for the slog sweep, he misses it completely as the ball sneaks through under his bat and it clatters into the middle stump. Morgan is furious with himself and walks back after a good knock. Eoin Morgan b Williamson 71(82) [4s-4 6s-2]

25.2 - Mitchell Santner to J Root, out Bowled!! That's an unlucky way to get out. Root comes down the track and wanted to work this through the on-side. Santer fires it on the pads, Root fails to lay bat on it, the ball clips the pad and crashes into the leg stump. Root walks back disappointed. J Root b Mitchell Santner 54(63) [4s-6]

6.2 - Southee to Jason Roy, out Bowled!! 2 wickets in 3 balls for New Zealand now. Both the openers are back in the hut. This was a peach from Southee. It was pitched up and moves in from just outside off, Roy was on the front foot looking to drive, the ball nips back, goes past the inside edge and crashes into top of off and middle. Jason Roy b Southee 9(17) [4s-1]

6.0 - Ben Wheeler to Hales, out Caught by Southee!! Wheeler gets his first international wicket. Hales has thrown it away. This was a back of a length delivery outside off, bowled with a scrambled seam. Hales was looking to run it down to third man, but the ball bounces a little extra and catches the outside edge. Southee from second slip moves to his right and takes a good low catch. Hales c Southee b Ben Wheeler 23(21) [4s-4]

23.5 - Mitchell Santner to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, dropped! It was a tough chance though. Morgan made room and Santner followed him with a fuller one, Morgan drives it uppishly towards the bowler, who dives to his left and gets a hand on the ball. He can't hold on and the batsmen take a single as the ball rolls away towards mid-on

30.1 - Williamson to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, flatter on off, Morgan punches it down to long-off and gets to his 25th ODI fifty with this single

23.3 - Mitchell Santner to J Root, 1 run, 100 of the partnership comes up with this singe. This was tossed up on off, Root comes forward and eases it down to long-on

15.3 - McClenaghan to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, run-out chance missed! This was full on the stumps, Morgan turns it in front of mid-on and sets off, Wheeler quickly picks the ball up and fires it at the non-striker's end. Morgan was struggling to make his ground and had there been a direct-hit, the English skipper would have been gone

8.2 - Southee to Eoin Morgan, no run, a swinging yorker around off, Morgan tries to jam it out with his bat close to the pad, the ball hits the boot first and Southee immediately went up for an appeal. The original decision was not out and it stayed like that even after New Zealand reviewed

49.0 - Stokes to Southee, FOUR, New Zealand take a 2-1 lead in this series. It was the slower full ball outside off, Southee was expecting that, he waits for the ball to arrive and lofts it over extra cover, the ball runs away to the fence

44.2 - Stokes to Mitchell Santner, FOUR, Stokes bangs this halfway down the wicket, Santner rocks back and pulls it to deep backward square leg, the ball trickles away to the fence

17.4 - Adil Rashid to Williamson, FOUR, comes down the track and lofts this flighted delivery over mid-on, didn't quite get under it as the bat turned in his hands as he made contact, but it had enough to go over the fielder and runs away to the fence

38.4 - Willey to Williamson, SIX, lovely shot! This was full and just outside off, Williamson leans forward and lofts it through the line, clears the long-off boundary and collects six

48.1 - Stokes to Ronchi, out Caught by Jason Roy!! Ronchi tries to finish the game with one hit, but he has been outfoxed by Stokes here. It was the back-of-the-hand slower ball from Stokes, Ronchi goes for the lofted drive through the off-side, it was slightly wide outside off, he ends up slicing it high in the air. Roy at backward point stations himself under it and takes a good catch in the end. Ronchi c Jason Roy b Stokes 13(14) [6s-1]

45.5 - Willey to Ross Taylor, out Bowled!! Is there a twist in the tale? Taylor has dragged this one back on. A poor way to get out after a great knock. This was bowled on a length and outside off, Taylor goes for a big heave and gets an inside edge that crashes into the off stump. The umpires take a look at the replays to check if Buttler had by chance knocked the bails off with his gloves, but he was nowhere close. Taylor has to go. Ross Taylor b Willey 110(123) [4s-12]

44.3 - Stokes to Mitchell Santner, out Caught by J Root!! Santner throws it away. It was a full delivery just outside off, Santner throws the kitchen sink at it he was looking to drive it hard, he can only manage an outside edge that flies to the left of Root at slip, who dives and takes a good low catch with both hands. Mitchell Santner c J Root b Stokes 21(16) [4s-3]

40.0 - Adil Rashid to Elliott, out Caught by J Root!! Elliott falls cheaply. A wicket off the last ball of the batting powerplay.

He gets an outside edge that flies to Root at slip, where he takes an easy catch. Elliott c J Root b Adil Rashid 5(4)

38.5 - Willey to Williamson, out Caught by Mark Wood!! Finally, England get a wicket. Williamson departs after a brilliant knock. This was bowled full and just outside off, Williamson goes for the loft and wanted to clear mid-off, doesn't get the desired elevation. Wood times his jump to perfection and hangs onto it. Great catch by the fast bowler after he put an easy one down in the last over. Is this the opening England needed? Only time will tell. Williamson c Mark Wood b Willey 118(113) [4s-12 6s-1]

6.3 - Mark Wood to Brendon McCullum, out Lbw!! Wood has got the big fish as he has dismissed McCullum. It was a short of length delivery that nipped back off the seam to rap McCullum on the pads, who was hopping and was caught in the crease. Wood belts out a huge appeal and the umpire answers in the affirmitive. The ball would have been clipping the leg stump. McCullum discussed about reviewing it but Williamson convinced him to accept the decision. Brendon McCullum lbw b Mark Wood 11(9) [4s-2]

1.2 - Willey to Guptill, out Lbw!! This is a big, big wicket for England. Willey picks a wicket off just his second ball. This was on a length and shapes back in on middle stump line, Guptill fails to push it into the on-side as he was caught in the crease and wears it on the back pad. This was as plumb as it gets. Umpire Oxenford raised his finger in a flash to send Guptill on his way. England are off to a great start. Guptill lbw b Willey 2(6)

38.2 - Willey to Williamson, no run, dropped! This was a very difficult chance though, it was full and on the stumps, Williamson drills it back to the bowler, who gets his right hand to it but can't hang onto the ball. He probably saved the umpire there because the ball was going straight at him

36.5 - Willey to Williamson, no run, dropped! This is just poor from England, the second time they have dropped a dolly. It was full outside off, Williamson loft-drives it straight to Wood at mid-off, who can't hold ono it, it went straight to him. He tried to take it on the second attempt as well, but fails to hold on. Willey doesn't look happy with that effort

31.0 - Mark Wood to Ross Taylor, 2 runs, dropped! Taylor tries to pull a short delivery, it goes to square leg, the ball went straight to Stokes, who failed to hold onto it. To make matters worse, the batsmen take a couple as the ball rolls away to deep square leg

28.4 - Mark Wood to Ross Taylor, no run, dropped! This was a length ball just outside off, it straightens a touch as Taylor goes for the push, he gets an outside edge that flies to the right of the keeper. Buttler was slightly wrong-footed and took his time to dive to his right, he went for the catch with his right hand but couldn't hold on. He looks very disappointed

42.5 - Finn to Mitchell Santner, 1 run, run-out chance missed! Morgan took too much time there. It was a back of a length delivery just outside off, Santner punches it straight to Morgan at mid-off and sets off. Morgan had all the time in the world to take his aim at the non-striker's end. He missed and Santner makes it in

38.3 - Willey to Williamson, 2 runs, 200 of the partnership comes up with this couple, this was on a length and outside off, Williamson opens the face of the bat and guides it fine past the fielder at slip, the batsmen take two before the fielder from third man runs to his left, puts in the dive and stops the ball

38.0 - Finn to Ross Taylor, 2 runs, back-to-back tons for Taylor, his 14th in ODIs. He hugs Williamson, takes his helmet off and soaks in the applause. Another really good knock from him. This was a length ball on middle and leg, Taylor tucks it away backward of square leg, calls for the second and makes it easily. His team-mates applaud his efforts

32.1 - Mark Wood to Williamson, 2 runs, Williamson gets to his 7th ODI hundred! What a knock this has been from him. He takes his helmet off and hugs Taylor. He waves his bat to the crowd and his team-mates, who are all up on their feet, applauding the effort from their vice-captain. Coming back to the ball, it was a length ball on the pads, Williamson hops and tucks it away through backward square leg for a couple.

30.0 - Adil Rashid to Williamson, 2 runs, in the air and safe! This was tossed up outside off, Williamson comes down the track and goes for the inside-out loft, he mistimes it completely but luckily for Williamson, the ball drops in no man's land behind extra cover, the batsmen take a couple. This brace brings up the 150-run partnership as well

24.5 - Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, unfortunately for England it turns out to be a umpire's call as it is just clipping the leg-stump. It was a full toss that rapped on the front pad and Williamson failed to work it away, he wears it on the pad and England went up for a review. The onfield decision was upheld though and Williamson stays

22.0 - J Root to Ross Taylor, 1 run, slightly quicker and on the stumps, Taylor nudges it past square leg for a single, gets to his 32nd ODI fifty with this single

20.0 - J Root to Williamson, 1 run, 100 of the partnership comes up with this single. It was a flighted delivery, Williamson gives the charge and takes it on the full, helps it down to long-on
