ENG vs NZ Live Cricket Score

11.2 OUT! CAUGHT! What a comeback from Mitchell Santner. He bowls this fuller and on off. Jonny Bairstow slaps it looking to clear the fence wide of long on but does not get the elevation right. Daryl Mitchell takes a clean running catch to dismiss Jonny Bairstow and New Zealand has clinched the much-needed wicket. 105/2

6.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ish Sodhi strikes in his very first over and helps New Zealand break the opening stand! This is bowled short, just outside off, skidding on, Will Jacks rocks on the back foot and goes for the cut. A hint of extra bounce and Jacks gets a feather on it. The ball does pop out of Tim Seifert's gloves but recovers well and grabs it with his right hand on the second attempt. New Zealand would have wanted Jonny Bairstow's wicket but they will take this one as well. 65/1

15.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Dawid Malan departs now and England continue to lose momentum! Pushed through, flatter, on middle and leg, Dawid Malan walks across and goes for a slog sweep. Tries to hit it behind square on the leg side but does not manage to get it past deep backward square leg. Kyle Jamieson there, dives forward and takes a well-judged catch. 138/4

13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Ish Sodhi has another wicket. He bowls this shorter and on leg. Harry Brook picks it up but with no timing and luckily for Ish Sodhi, he does not get the necessary distance. Mark Chapman at square leg takes a good catch and Harry Brook has to depart. New Zealand is getting timely wickets now and England looks to be in trouble. 126/3

20 OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket to end the innings! Henry pitches it up again, outside off, Liam Livingstone gets underneath the delivery and slams it hard and straight to extra cover. Tim Southee does the rest and hands Matt Henry his first wicket. England end up with 175/8 on the board! 175/8

16 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Mitchell Santner has two in the over! Comes from over the wicket and offers flight, on off, Moeen Ali gets down on one knee and goes for the sweep. He does not manage to keep the ball along the ground and picks out Glenn Phillips at deep mid-wicket to perfection. Santner finishes with 3 wickets. 140/5

17.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rachin Ravindra gets in on the act now! Looped up, full and on off and middle, Sam Curran steps out of the crease and looks to clear the long on fence. Does not time it well and gets denied a maximum by the fielder. Finn Allen balances himself nicely on the boundary, takes the catch and releases the ball as he crosses the ropes. Calmly comes back in and completes the catch. 150/6

19.3 OUT! RUN OUT! In the block hole, on off, Rehan Ahmed drills it back to the bowler. Matt Henry makes a good stop but Liam Livingstone is already halfway through. Rehan Ahmed sacrifices his wicket and allows Livingstone to get to the batting end, before Henry takes the bails off at the non-striker's end. 172/7

1.5 OUT! TIMBER! Luke Wood provides England with an early breakthrough! Comes from over the wicket and lands it on off, on a length, Finn Allen goes for a swipe across the line but does not connect. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and pegs back the off stump. Allen has provided New Zealand with a good start but they needed him to continue. 22/1

8.1 OUT! CAUGHT & BOWLED! What a catch! He bowls this full and turns away from off. Tim Seifert got confused by the spin and lofted it straight back to the bowler. Rehan Ahmed does well to go to his right and grab the ball with both his hands. Tim Seifert has to depart as soon as he was looking dangerous and England have the much-needed wicket. 83/3

6.2 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh what a throw! Fuller from Rehan Ahmed and turning away from off. Tim Seifert drives it to deep cover where Luke Wood cuts it off and throws it back to the bowler in a jiffy. The batters had turned back for the second and Daryl Mitchell was caught way outside the bowling crease as Rehan Ahmed took off the bails. 75/2

14 OUT! CAUGHT! Glenn Phillips departs but is it a little too late for England! Almost a drag down, on middle, Glenn Phillips picks the length early and shapes to pull. Gets it off the bottom part of the bat and skies it high in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Sam Curran settles under it and does the rest. Rehan Ahmed gets his second wicket now. 141/4
