ENG vs NZ, 3rd ODI Live Updates
We are back for the chase. The umpires are on the ground and the fielding team has taken their positions. Devon Conway and Will Young will open the batting innings while Chris Woakes has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's go...
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Not much to say about the New Zealand bowlers. They started off well as Trent Boult dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root. After that, none of the bowlers could provide a breakthrough as the batters smashed them all around the ground. They were put under a lot of pressure in the middle phases by Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan. It was Trent Boult again with the breakthrough as he got the wicket of Dawid Malan. Glenn Phillips got the wicket of Jos Buttler which made them release some pressure. The big wicket of Ben Stokes was taken by Benjamin Lister and that was the turning point in the innings. After that, it was the bowlers' show as England were bowled out for 368. Trent Boult was the star of the innings as he took a fifer followed by Benjamin Lister who scalped 3. The target for the batters is 369. Join us in a while for the run chase until then grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the break.
England have been fantastic at home this series. After quick departures of two of their top 3 batters, Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes took the reigns in their hands. They managed to stabilize the innings and put up a partnership of more than 150 runs. Malan was dismissed at 96. Ben Stokes continued his onslaught as he breached the 150-run mark. Jos Buttler supported him and he played a short but explosive knock before being sent back to the pavilion. Ben Stokes was the next to be dismissed after scoring 182. After his dismissal, none of the batters managed to score well and England were bowled out by some amazing death bowling. A good batting display made sure that England put 382 on the board.
