49.4 - Finn to Ben Wheeler, FOUR, Wheeler moved early to the leg-side, Finn tried to follow him with a slower ball bumper, but Wheeler was good enough to guide it over the keeper. These are handy runs for New Zealand

47.4 - Willey to Matt Henry, FOUR, full and on the stumps, Henry play a nice looking off-drive, sends it very straight past the umpire and mid-off had no chance. Willey shakes his head for missing his length there

46.2 - Stokes to Southee, FOUR, poor line and poor bowling. This slower ball goes really short and down the leg side, fine leg was inside the ring and Southee helps it on its way, beating the man at 45 to his right

43.3 - Willey to Southee, FOUR, great start for Southee. Full and on the stumps, Southee clears his front leg and loft-drives it back over the umpire for four

43.0 - Stokes to Ben Wheeler, FOUR, width on offer outside off stump, Wheeler goes on the back foot and cuts it hard onto the ground, it bounces over the fielder at backward point

39.1 - Finn to Elliott, FOUR, Elliott has started to up the ante for the visitors. He uses his feet to a good length delivery and advacnes to loft it wide of mid-off for a boundary

38.2 - Mark Wood to Ross Taylor, FOUR, drags his length back and it held its line to catch the edge off Taylor's bat as it runs away to the boundary past the vacant first slip

38.1 - Mark Wood to Ross Taylor, FOUR, full and straying down leg, Taylor flicks it to backward square leg for a boundary. Stokes in the deep misfielded there and it runs away for four. He put his hand up and apologised to the bowler

37.4 - Finn to Elliott, FOUR, Elliott takes a heavy toll of a short and wide delivery by essaying a cut shot through deep backward point for a boundary. Despiaring dive by the man at backward point, but can't stop the boundary

36.2 - Mark Wood to Elliott, FOUR, lovely shot from Elliott, Wood bowls it a tad fuller and outside off, Elliott leans forward and drives it through extra cover for a sparkling boundary

32.2 - Adil Rashid to Elliott, FOUR, brave hit. Flighted delivery spinning away, Elliott gets down on one knee and sweeps it along the ground through backward square leg for four. Off the mark in style

28.3 - Adil Rashid to Guptill, FOUR, Rashid gives this a lot of air, but he bowls it very full, allowing Guptill to lean forward and drive it hard through extra-cover

19.1 - Stokes to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill continues to deal in boundaries. Full and outside off, drives it through extra cover for a boundary. Well placed by Guptill

17.3 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, short and going down leg, Williamson helps it on its way to fine leg for a boundary

13.2 - Stokes to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill is certainly in fine form. He takes a heavy toll of a full delivery that is straying down leg to clip it away past the diving fielder at deep mid-wicket for a boundary

10.4 - Willey to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill goes up and over the infield to collect a boundary. It was full and outside off, Guptill presses forward and drives it over cover as it runs away to the boundary

8.5 - Finn to Williamson, FOUR, fuller and just outside off, Williamson shuffles across the stumps, tries to guide, gets a thick outside edge and it flies through the vacant third slip for a boundary

8.4 - Finn to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson has brought up the team's fifty with a fine back foot punch. It was a back of a length delivery and just outside off, Williamson stands tall and sends it through extra-cover for a boundary

8.1 - Finn to Guptill, FOUR, Guptill has taken a heavy toll of a banged in delivery by pulling it front of square on the on-side for a boundary. He was almost coming on the front foot there

8.0 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, overpitched and this time Williamson drives it right from the middle of the bat. Full and outside off stump, Williamson drives it past the bowler and mid-off had no chance

7.5 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, in the airrrrr and just wide of the man at cover. Full and outside off stump, Williamson leans forward to drive, but he doesn't control it, luckily for him it didn't go to hand

6.0 - Mark Wood to Guptill, FOUR, good looking on-drive from Guptill to end the over. Wood overpitches this on the off stump and Guptill nails the drive to perfection to send it to the left of mid-on

50.0 - Finn to Ben Wheeler, SIX, Wheeler signs off in style. This is an excellent innings and will lift the mood in the dressing room. Once again Finn tries to follow Wheeler, but the batsman is able to get under it, muscles the loft over long-on and clears the rope. 22 runs off the over, just what New Zealand wanted going into the break. The visitors have managed to score 32 runs off the last two overs

49.5 - Finn to Ben Wheeler, SIX, this is turning out to be a great innings from Wheeler. Full and following the batsman again, Wheeler plays a powerful flick shot, he was off balance while meeting with the ball but manages to time it sweetly to clear deep mid-wicket

49.1 - Finn to Matt Henry, SIX, that's gone a long way up in the air. Gee! What a sound the bat made when it made contact with the ball. Poor ball from Finn, Henry was waiting on the back foot for something short, he clears his front leg out of the way and absolutely smashes it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

48.1 - Stokes to Ben Wheeler, SIX, gee! That's a muscular hit. Full and on the stumps, Wheeler clears his front leg and slogs it handsomely over wide long-on. Great start to the over for New Zealand

27.5 - Mark Wood to Guptill, SIX, that is a wonderful hit from Guptill. Short delivery on the stumps, Guptill saw that early, waited for it to come and guided it straight back over the keeper's head. The ball goes all the way

0.5 - Finn to Brendon McCullum, SIX, here he comes, Brendon McCullum. Good length delivery outside off stump, McCullum advances down the track and also gives himself a bit of room, it was right in the slot and he muscled it hard over long-on for a maximum. What a way to open your account

49.3 - Finn to Matt Henry, out Caught by Stokes!! This doesn't have enough legs and Stokes makes no mistake at long-on. Slower delivery from Finn, Henry takes his front leg out of the way and plays a slog, but mistimes it completely and is easily caught at long-on. Matt Henry c Stokes b Finn 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

47.0 - Stokes to Southee, out Bowled!! You miss, I hit! Full and on the leg stump, Southee stays leg-side of the ball and aims a slog over mid-wicket, the shot was on but he missed it and the ball crashed into the sticks. Southee punches his bat with the glove in disappointment. Southee b Stokes 18(13) [4s-2]

43.2 - Willey to Ronchi, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Wicket number two for Willey. A nothing shot from Ronchi. A really poor shot indeed and he knows it. Full and in the slot, it was there to be put away, Ronchi goes for the lofted drive, but doesn't get the desired elevation, Morgan jumps at mid-off and grabs it above his head. This is not what New Zealand wanted with over six overs to go. Ronchi c Eoin Morgan b Willey 2(5)

41.3 - Willey to Ross Taylor, out Caught by Bairstow!! That is a fine catch by Bairstow. Fullish and angling across the right-hander, the ball just moves away as well, Taylor goes hard at the drive, gets a thick outside edge, the keeper moves to his right and snaffles it with both hands. Taylor lost his balance as he tried to play that ball. David Willey's family is absolutely happy in the stands as they celebrate the wicket. In fact, this is a big scalp as Taylor is in great form and he was key to New Zealand getting those 15-20 extra runs towards the end. Ross Taylor c Bairstow b Willey 47(63) [4s-2]

40.5 - Adil Rashid to Elliott, out Stumped!! That dropped catch doesn't cost England and Rashid too much. Second wicket for the leggie and he deserves it. Googly outside off stump, Elliott runs down the track, doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, yet goes for a big hit, misses it by a long way and Bairstow makes an easy stumping. Elliott st Bairstow b Adil Rashid 35(36) [4s-4]

32.1 - Adil Rashid to Mitchell Santner, out Bowled!! A well deserved wicket for Rashid. He's bowled very well throughtout the day. Flighted delivery pitching just outside off stump, Santner jumps out of the crease and plays across the line looking for a big hit, but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and misses it as it spins sharply, the ball sneaks through to hit the top of leg stump. Santner smashed Rashid the other day, but the bowler has won the battle this time. New Zealand have lost 2 wickets in a space of 5 runs. Mitchell Santner b Adil Rashid 2(6)

30.0 - Stokes to Guptill, out Caught by Bairstow!! Edged and gone. Key wicket for England as Gutpill was well set and looking good for a big one. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Guptill looks to guide it to third man off the back foot, but the ball bounces a bit extra and catches the outside edge of the bat. It goes straight into the hands of Bairstow, who throws the ball up in delight after completing the catch. Good bowling change by Morgan. Guptill c Bairstow b Stokes 67(73) [4s-6 6s-1]

19.5 - Stokes to Williamson, out Bowled!! Williamson will be a disappointed man. He tries to pull a short delivery from Stokes, gets an inside edge onto the middle-stump. Williamson perhaps was too early into the shot there. Huge wicket for England as Williamson has been consistency-personified in this series. End of a fabulous 94-run partnership. Williamson b Stokes 50(65) [4s-5]

1.0 - Finn to Brendon McCullum, out Bowled!! Steve Finn has been impressive in this series and he's got a big wicket for England in the very first over. This is a great response from the bowler after being hit for a six. Back of a length delivery outside off stump,probably it jagged back off the seam, McCullum hops in the crease and tries to force it through the off-side, gets a thick inside edge and it crashes into the stumps. This is just the start England wanted after opting to bowl. Brendon McCullum b Finn 6(4) [6s-1]

40.2 - Adil Rashid to Elliott, 2 runs, oh dear! The skipper has put one down. That is an easy catch by his standards. Short and spinning away outside off stump, Elliott goes for the back foot punch, but hits it in the air, Morgan dives to his left, gets both hands to it but it pops out. Morgan is disappointed with himself

26.5 - Adil Rashid to Ross Taylor, 1 run, dropped, but that was hit very hard. Good effort by Root, who was standing very close at short cover. Googly goes full and outside off stump, Taylor drives hard, Root dives and gets his right hand to it but it doesn't stick

24.4 - Adil Rashid to Guptill, 1 run, back-to-back fifties for Guptill, it's his third of the ODI series and 25th overall. Quicker delivery just outside off stump, Guptill pushes it to the right of point and gets to the milestone. Ross Taylor congratulates for a fine knock

18.5 - Adil Rashid to Williamson, 1 run, 19th ODI fifty for Williamson. Floated up and just outside off, Williamson uses his feet and pushes it to mid-on

24.4 - Andrew Mathieson to Adil Rashid, FOUR, that's cheeky but effective. Clever, brave hit from Rashid. Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Rashid waits for the ball to come, with third man inside the ring, goes leg-side and guides it very fine and sends it for four

24.2 - Andrew Mathieson to Bairstow, FOUR, just a lofted push and the timing was too good. Gee! What a knock this is. Full and in the slot, Mathieson gets his length wrong again, Bairstow doesn't try to do anything fancy, just lofts it over wide mid-off and it runs away for four

24.1 - Andrew Mathieson to Bairstow, FOUR, this is not what the captain wanted. Rank long hop they say, the slower ball bumper sits up nicely, Bairstow hangs back and slaps it hard over extra-cover. Great start to the over for England

23.5 - Southee to Bairstow, FOUR, that's in the gap and it's gone for four. Southee goes very short with his bumper, Bairstow backs away, waits and muscles the pull over mid-wicket

23.0 - Ben Wheeler to Adil Rashid, FOUR, length ball, can't bowl those at this stage of the innings, Rashid loft-drives it nicely over cover and there is no protection in the deep. 14 runs off the over, great one for England

22.4 - Ben Wheeler to Bairstow, FOUR, clever hit. Full and outside off stump, Bairstow goes for the drive, but plays with an angled bat to slice it over backward point, third man was inside the ring and he had no chance

21.3 - Matt Henry to Bairstow, FOUR, that is a good hit from Bairstow. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, Bairstow moves across the stumps slightly and pulls it past the man at backward square leg for four

20.4 - Ben Wheeler to Bairstow, FOUR, too short from Wheeler, but Bairstow doesn't miss out. Bairstow goes on the back foot and pulls it over mid-wicket for four

19.4 - Matt Henry to Willey, FOUR, he's crashed that. Full and outside off stump, Willey nails the drive really hard, it was in the air for a while, but well wide of mid-off

16.3 - Andrew Mathieson to S Billings, FOUR, full toss and Billings flicks it away nicely behind square on the on-side, Billings walked forward on that occasion and timed it sweetly to beat the dive of the man in the deep

15.3 - Elliott to Bairstow, FOUR, full and in the slot, Bairstow esaays a lofted drive over mid-off for another boundary. Precise metre of timing there from the batsman

15.2 - Elliott to Bairstow, FOUR, another slower one from Elliott, Bairstow essays a lofted drive down the the ground for a boundary

14.4 - Matt Henry to S Billings, FOUR, Billings shows good improvisation to come down the wicket and flat-bat it for a boundary through long-on. Henry tried to follow him, but the batsman won the battle there

13.4 - Southee to Bairstow, FOUR, another boundary for Bairstow. It was fuller and just outside off, drives it through extra cover and it runs away to the boundary boards

13.3 - Southee to Bairstow, FOUR, finally Bairstow breaks the shackles with a four. It was fuller and just outside off, Bairstow lofts it to the left of extra cover for a boundary

11.3 - Mitchell Santner to Bairstow, FOUR, lofted drive and it's a calculated hit. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, with mid-on inside the ring, Bairstow lofts it over the infield and picks up a boundary

10.4 - Andrew Mathieson to S Billings, FOUR, poor ball, short and down the leg-side, Billings gets inside the line and helps it on its way to fine leg

10.2 - Andrew Mathieson to S Billings, FOUR, driven in the air but well wide of the bowler. Full and on the stumps, Billings drives it past the umpire and it runs away for four

6.2 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, Wheeler tries to cramp Stokes for room as he advances, but bowls it down the leg-side, even though he was off balance, Stokes manages to help it on its way to fine leg

6.1 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, FOUR, short ball and Stokes nails the pull shot to perfection. Short of a length delivery on the off stump, Stokes smashes it over mid-wicket for four

5.1 - Mitchell Santner to Stokes, FOUR, flighted delivery just outside off stump, Stokes gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it hard to the left of deep mid-wicket for four. Good start to the over for England

3.0 - Southee to Jason Roy, FOUR, Southee goes for the inswinging yorker again, but bowls a low full toss, Roy is surprised a bit by the swing but he manages to whip it behind square on the on-side, the fielder gives chase but loses the race

2.0 - Mitchell Santner to J Root, FOUR, driven in the gap and driven for four. Tossed up outside off stump, Root leans forward and hits it along the ground to the left of cover, who had no chance

0.4 - Southee to Jason Roy, leg byes, FOUR, Southee gets greedy looking to swing in from middle stump line, but it goes on with the angle from wide of the crease and Roy tries to tickle it, the ball rolls off the thigh pad and runs away for four

16.0 - Elliott to S Billings, SIX, great improvisation there from Billings! It was a tad fuller and just outside off, Billings sweeps him over backward square leg for a six. England certainly needed that over as they got 16 runs

20.1 - Ben Wheeler to Willey, out Caught by Mitchell Santner!! Wheeler takes a key wicket. Short ball outside off stump, Willey tries to flat-bat it hard off the back foot, but mistimes it completely, mid-off moves back and to his right to complete an easy catch. Willey c Mitchell Santner b Ben Wheeler 7(9) [4s-1]

17.4 - Matt Henry to S Billings, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! That is a brilliant catch by Rosco. Something spectacular was needed to break this 80-run stand and Taylor has provided it. Short ball on the stumps, Billings dances down the track and goes for the pull, but mistimes it as he was cramped for room, the man at short mid-wicket dives swiftly to his left and takes it with both hands. Is this the opening New Zealand needed to pull this off? S Billings c Ross Taylor b Matt Henry 41(30) [4s-4 6s-1]

8.1 - Andrew Mathieson to Jason Roy, out Caught by Guptill!! Wow! Andrew Mathieson gets an ODI wicket first ball on debut. Nothing shot from Roy and England are 45/5 now. Nothing ball in fact from Mathieson. Short of a length delivery just swinging away outside off stump, Roy was initially looking to cut, but for some reason checks his shot, probably he was foxed by the late outswing, it certainly wasn't a slower ball, in the end the ball balloons to the left of backward point, where Guptill runs back and takes a good catch. Jason Roy c Guptill b Andrew Mathieson 12(20) [4s-1]

6.3 - Ben Wheeler to Stokes, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! Oh dear, another one down. Poor cricket from Stokes. He already got a couple of boundaries in the over, he gets greedy for more and holes out. Full and on the off stump, in the slot for Stokes to tee off, he goes hard at the lofted drive but mistimes it, McCullum slightly goes back at mid-off and then jumps to take it above his head. Stokes c Brendon McCullum b Ben Wheeler 17(13) [4s-3]

3.2 - Mitchell Santner to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Guptill!! Disaster, this is disaster for England. Rain, where are you? It's three wickets now for Mitchell Santner in 8 balls. He's on a hat-trick as well. Gee, what a move by McCullum. Nothing great about this ball though. Just a flighted delivery right in the slot around off stump line, Morgan, in trying to unsettle the bowler, mistimes the slog and deep mid-wicket moves to his right and accepts the low offering. England are under serious pressure at 20/3. Eoin Morgan c Guptill b Mitchell Santner 0(1)

3.1 - Mitchell Santner to J Root, out Stumped!! This is a great start for New Zealand and the spinner has got both the wickets. Flighted delivery just outside off stump, Root overbalances as he tries to drive, gets a long way out of the crease, the ball hits Ronchi on the chin and then bounces off his chest, he manages to grab the ricochet and whip the bails off in time before Root dragged his bat back into the crease. Ronchi is bleeding and he is getting some attention. J Root st Ronchi b Mitchell Santner 4(5) [4s-1]

1.2 - Mitchell Santner to Hales, out Caught by Williamson!! That is a stunning catch by Williamson. The fielders needed to help the bowlers in a small chase like this and Willamson has taken a blinder. Hales cannot believe that he's been caught. Short ball, deserved to be put away, Hales rocks back and pulls well, but doesn't control it, hits it in the air, Williamson jumps high at square leg, goes one-handed and plucks it with his left hand. Early blow for England. What an idea from McCullum to open with a spinner from the other end. Hales c Williamson b Mitchell Santner 1(3)

22.0 - Matt Henry to Bairstow, 2 runs, Mitchell Santner has dropped it. He has three attempts at it, but doesn't manage to hold on. Short ball outside off stump, Bairstow looks to guide it, but hits it high in the air, Santner thought it was going over his head and back pedals, but realises that he had to come forward and gets to the ball with both hands, but it pops out, he tries to clutch it with his body, but again it escapes and then he tries to grab it on the third attempt but it goes down. Is this going to cost New Zealand the series?

18.4 - Ben Wheeler to Bairstow, 3 runs, edgeddd but dropped. How costly is that going to be? Short of a length delivery angling into the right-hander, Bairstow looks to drive, gets an inside edge, the keeper moves to his left and goes with both hands but only manages to fingertip it to fine leg

21.0 - Ben Wheeler to Bairstow, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Bairstow punches it to long-on and that's his maiden ODI fifty. This is a timely innings but he needs to stay till the end
