    19.6 comes down and there's an appeal for lbw, he's not out there but scrambles to the other end and Taylor's throw comes in direct from short midwicket and Bell's out by a good 30 centimetres, a moment's hesitation costing him 84/2
    11.2 the first breakthrough, it just seemed a matter of time until something had to give. Tries to loft it over mid-off, but he doesn't time and just lobs a simple to Vettori on the edge of the circle. Some good pressure from the New Zealand bowlers, but Wright never got going today 49/1

    23.3 picked him up! Bopara comes out and drives hard back at Styris who snaps a sharp chance, a nothing shot from the batsman really and he will be kicking himself now 95/3
    43.5 gone this time, Collingwood goes for a cut and chops into off stump. End of a fine innings and a vital wicket for New Zealand as they try to limit the late carnage 231/4
    49.5 trying to clear the deep square-leg boundary this time, a slower ball on a length, it was there to hit but he just got a bit too much top edge and found the fielder 304/5

    18.2 and the pressure pays off, How trying to go over the top of cover just manages to pick out Luke Wright at cover...the bat twisted in his hand and a deserved second wicket for Broad 72/3
    8.1 and Broad strikes with his first ball! McCullum steps back and cuts one which rises up from outside off straight into Bell's hands at extra cover 52/1
    13.5 dabbed down to the gully where Collingwood picks it up and like a rocket his direct hit runs out Marshall by a good three inches 61/2
    24.3 gone...and Wright gets the key wicket in rather strange style, Taylor just chipping a catch straight down to Sidebottom at long-on, it was barely a push from Taylor but he timed it so well, too well in fact, and it was a simple catch 101/4
    29.1 the pressure tells again, and that should be the match well and truly sown up for England as Styris picks out deep midwicket as he tries to find a boundary...something had to give, the run rate has only been going one way 116/5
    37.2 ah, Flynn goes, adjudged to have strangled through to Ambrose and at first it looks as if he clearly has, but replays show that the ball brushed the thigh pad 165/6
    40.1 width outside off, cut to point and that's held by Bopara on his knees at backward point 179/7
    40.3 down on one knee, shouts of "Catch it!" and Collingwood has two wickets in three balls, Vettori picking out Anderson in the deep with his pull 180/8
    42.1 backs away and goes for the pull, hits it up a lot higher than he wanted, Wright running hard from midwicket and catches it over his head, excellent catch, particularly with plenty of fielders rushing round near him 187/9
    42.5 Bell closes out the match with a catch in the covers, Southee leaning back and chipping up right to the fielder 193/10

Match Notes

New Zealand tour of England and Scotland 2008 News

  • The month of Mendis

    Plus, two old Sri Lankan foxes still going strong, an umpiring howler, and KP's English identity - all in our round-up of the on-field performance highlights from July

  • Signing off on a high

    New Zealand finished their tour of England on a good note

  • Whose right of way is it anyway?

    Periodic fits of morality do cricket good, and the uproar over the Grant Elliott run-out might well do so, but perhaps not for the reasons that first come to mind

  • Shockers, sizzlers, run-machines

    Umpiring howlers, a new twist on the reverse sweep, and more runs than you can shake a stick at - in our round-up of the on-field performance highlights for June

  • New Zealand crush hapless Irish

    It was a day of records and near-records at Mannofield Park in Aberdeen, as a rampant New Zealand team totally outclassed a threadbare Ireland by a record ODI margin of 290 runs
