    0.1 flicked off the toes and straight to backward square! Devon Conway leaps superbly to his left, plucks a fast-travelling clip at a very tight, deliberate catching position, and New Zealand are up and running in emphatic style! 0/1
    30.1 Down the leg side... tickle? There's a huge appeal along with the umpire signalling wide. "I think we should have a look," says Trent Boult. Latham agrees... And there's a spike on ultra edge at the last possible instant as ball passes the bat! Outstanding review and Malan has to go, four short of what would have been a fifth ODI century 212/3

    2.4 more swing, loose from Root! Outside the line, bending back late once more, Root's footwork is a fraction too lazy as he chases the apparent width and leaves his gate open, and he throws his head back in self-admonishment as the ball cannons off his inside-edge and into the leg stump! 13/2

    44.3 fired into the legs, no 200 for Stokes! Full toss, a waft off the pads, looking to launch over backward square, but he didn't quite line it up right. A looping chance to square leg, and there ends a monstrous knock! 348/6
    37.5 yanked to the on-side, and picks out deep midwicket! But Phillips has thrown himself so wide on the crease that he's cut the line, is it going to be a back-foot no-ball? It's such a rarity, and like a front-foot no-ball it all depends on the first point of contact. Replays suggest he touched down millimetres inside the box, and after an eternity, Buttler has to walk! 290/4
    42.5 chipped to point... is that out? All very confusing. Half an appeal, Livingstone seems nonplussed... the umpires are taking a look. Yes, right off the toe, on the half-volley, but definitely ground onto bat, into hand! 336/5
    45.5 blapped at Phillips in the deep, another one goes! Same direction, same intent, but fetched from outside off this time, so the fielder in front of square was right in situ 360/7
    46.6 Curran steps back for a slap... and holes out to deep cover! Reward for an excellent over - and spell - from Boult. Conway took it calmly, off the toe-end of the bat. England's 400-charge stutters again 364/8
    47.6 clipped on the up, and holes out to long-on! Suddenly England are in danger of the cardinal sin of not batting out their overs! A bit of a non-event from Woakes, mopped up by a sprawling grab from Mitchell. Well judged 368/9
    48.1 round the wicket, and Boult has five! Super delivery, full, straight, under the half-cocked waft-sweep from the tailender Atkinson... and England's innings ends at a mere 368! 368/10

    5.6 Plumb plumb plumb! Topley shapes one in, Conway's head is falling to the off side, and his front pad is pinned right in front of middle. A cursory stop for a chat with Nicholls lasts a couple of seconds before Conway heads off to the pavilion 24/2
    4.4 Gone! Young charges, Woakes reacts immediately with a change in length and the opening batter decides to swing anyway, feathering an edge through to Buttler 18/1
    6.4 How tame was that?! A tetchy Nicholls moves across, flicks Woakes without conviction and watches on as Curran takes a straightforward catch at forward square leg 28/3
    16.6 hell of a double whammy! This could be an outstanding effort from Curran, there's an audible snick as a fuller length ghosts past Mitchell's edge. Is it bat or back pad? It's both! A thin edge, then a fat thump of the pad flap. The first ball forced him back into the crease, the second drew him half-forward again, on a perfect off-stump line. Buttler does the rest, and that might be New Zealand's final hope 70/5
    10.5 The one-two works! Having taken so many away from Latham, this one nips in off the surface and lights up the timber! Woakes has his third and New Zealand are reeling 37/4
    34.2 Another review! This one as Phillips tries and fails to swish across the line. Livingstone reckons it's got a chance on the way down as the ball strikes the batter's midriff... and he's right! Fair play to Livi, who convinced Buttler to go for the review. A defiant stand ends and New Zealand are almost down the drain 173/8

    24.2 fires it through a touch flatter, and England have their sixth! Ravindra shaped to cut but the ball stayed low, gathered pace off the pitch and pegged back his leg stump. A decent knock while it lasted, but like the rest of this innings, insubstantial 116/6
    33.5 Edged and gone! Jamieson hangs back, nicks a cutter and Buttler does well to spring to his right to complete the dismissal. Down goes the average then... 173/7

    36.4 There's the Boult we know and love! Flighted tempter outside off, Boult goes for a heave to leg with his balance all askew, skying high to cover where Moeen Ali takes a smart catch running back 181/9
    38.6 Game over it is! Big heave and Buttler whips the bails off with ease as Lister fails to reclaim his ground. England win by a mammoth 181 runs! The margin one shy of Ben Stokes' monster total which set this all up. New Zealand were never really in it - their high coming much earlier when Trent Boult reduced England were 13 for 2 in the third over - thanks to a brilliant start from Chris Woakes with 3 for 31 from his eight overs, all deliveries up top. Word to Livingstone, too, who finishes with a strong 3 for 16. England 2-1 up in the series ahead of the final match at Lord's on Friday 187/10
