Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Andrew Miller
9.04pm Another one chalked off in style for England. They are dormie-two in their four-match series. Hard to see an Ashes-style comeback for New Zealand here. From Miller, Alan, Ranjith and the team, good night! It's back to the women tomorrow. I'll be down at Chelmsford for the second T20I against Sri Lanka. See you there.
8.58pm Jonny Bairstow is player of the match: "Great team performance and for the boys to take ten wickets ... bit of swing early doors here but we grafted through the first bit and it got easier. The partnership between Harry and I was a bit of a matchwinner. We were due a bit of a partnership, he's playing well at the moment.
On Atkinson: "We've seen the qualities for Surrey and Invincibles. Raw pace is scary, four wickets on debut is a huge confidence boost, he took everything in his stride. The first of many caps for him."
Tim Southee: "Not ideal... off with the ball, which makes it hard for the batters. Brook and Jonny grabbed the momentum and ran with it, we know we've got to be better in all three areas. Milne from the bottom end was exceptional, showed the rest of us what was working. A number of our guys are reasonably young, we'll dust ourselves off and come back in a couple of days' time."
Jos Buttler: "Special to see guys making their debut, for Gus to bowl in the fashion he did is brilliant. Crucial, he's on an upward curve, to get him in and around the dressing-room, making friendships, getting to know the coaching staff, is important. Harry played brilliantly. A lot of noise around [World Cup], credit to him for how he's handling it. He played brilliantly."
8.57pm Time for the presentations. For all England's dominance, to lose your last five wickets in 12 balls is quite the denouement.
8.52pm So, after a 205-ball game on Wednesday, and England women's 102-ball-per-side match at Hove last night, we have a 203-ball denouement to the second T20I. The Hundred vibes are strong with this autumn international series! What an introduction though for Gus Atkinson, 4 for 20 in 2.5 overs on debut. Hot heat, too hot for NZ to handle. England are 2-0 up and it's been deeply one-sided so far.
LH Ferguson b Atkinson 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Mark: "New Zealand have been disappointingly weak so far, although they have had minimal preparation for this series."
TG Southee lbw b Atkinson 8 (2m 3b 0x4 1x6) SR: 266.66
TL Seifert c †Buttler b Atkinson 39 (52m 31b 4x4 0x6) SR: 125.80
What do you do as a captain at 95 for 7? You turn back to some raw heat!
END OF OVER:13 | 7 Runs 1 Wkt | NZ: 95/7 (104 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 7.30, RRR: 14.85)

ShahSafeer: "England have so many players in their ranks who can bat at rapid rate and ball some overs, these lads are gold in T20Is! "
