    4.3 super delivery! Direct approach from Carse, pace and angle, nipping from a full length to ping the top of leg at 87.5mph. Good wheels and this is a fine debut already. Allen's face is a picture of surprise as he's done in by that one 31/2
    3.3 drives with no footwork! The change of ends works! Good length from Wood, hint of shape back into Conway, and a lesser-spotted outside-edge from New Zealand's inside-edge specialist. Buttler gathers the faint nick to secure the first breakthrough 25/1
    5.2 that's a better line! 82mph, round the wicket, wider on the crease and angled in at the top of the off bail. Cross-seamer skids past an expansive wipe as Seifert decided that line had to travel. A punch of the fist from Wood, whose figures now look very promising 35/3
    16.3 Slower ball, spanked in the air, Curran pouches a blinder! It was sliced off the open face, very full length, fade on the ball as Curran is forced to watch it clean off the bat and leap to his left to intercept. Fine grab, and that really is curtains for a competitive total 103/7

    7.4 beauty from Moeen! Drags Chapman forward to the off-stump line from round the wicket, with just enough turn to beat the edge and peg back the off stump! England are making all the running, but Chapman perhaps could have done better there, playing across the line rather than back whence it came 49/4
    11.3 holes out to long-off, and that's all about the previous ball! More big turn from a good length, Mitchell decides the only way to go is downtown, but it's a fat leading edge on an expansive blow, and Brook is right back on the rope 75/5
    14.4 skitters to the pitch, opens the face, picks out point! All a bit staid from New Zealand, Santner tries to make something happen, but Rashid just drags his length back, and it's straight into Wood's bread-basket 96/6

    19.1 finished off in style! Line, length and good deception, an offcutter on a perfect length, a swing across the line, and middle and leg stumps get splattered. 129/8
    19.5 swung off the toes, Curran in the deep takes the catch! Carse takes the pace off, into the surface, forcing the batter to take on the long boundary for a simple take. Very Plunkett areas there! 137/9

    0.2 holds its line, nicked to slip! Bairstow stares at the pitch and turns for the dressing room. Southee gets this one to shape just enough from back of a length and the tentative prod ends up being scooped low above the turf by Mitchell. That wicket, by the way, takes Southee clear at the top of the men's T20I list 5/1
    6.3 seizes on a long hop - and muffs it to deep backward square! The crowd were gearing up for something big and audibly groaned as the ball plopped into the hands of Finn Allen. Think Jacks hit the ball twice, so mistimed was his attempted pull. Off the splice and then toe-ended straight to the man. NZ get the wicket they were after, in slightly odd circumstances 62/2
    12.1 Malan falls, miscued to mid-on! Slower ball from Ferguson and he didn't have anything to work with as the ball sat up outside off. Limp way to go, Malan looks frustrated as he drops to his haunches - but he's done the hard work for his side 116/3
