New Zealand beat England by 9 runs (D/L method)
Corey Anderson is given the Man of the Match for his two wickets and a couple of outstanding catches. That's all we have from this match, we look forward to your company tomorrow. Good bye and cheers!!!
Unfortunately folks, the game has been CALLED OFF and New Zealand win it by 9 runs on D/L method. The Kiwis started their chase positively and in spite of losing Guptill, they kept on scoring runs at a rapid rate. The New Zealanders will be delighted to win this rain-truncated match and their campaign is off to a good start.
Rain returned when the umpires were supposed to inspect the conditions and the covers are back on. The cut off time is fast approaching and we will get another update soon.
The rain has stopped for now and the groundsmen are at work. There is an inspection scheduled for 2200 IST. Stay tuned...
IT'S RAINING NOW! And the umpires are forced to take the players off the field. New Zealand at the moment are ahead on the D/L calculation. Stay tuned for latest updates...

Chris Jordan To Kane Williamson
FOUR! Sublime! Fullish ball on middle and off, Williamson leans across and flicks it with panache through wide mid on for a good looking boundary.
Lightening and thundering going on and it's dangerous to stay out there in the middle. But the match officials have decided to wait and watch. Jordan into the attack...

Stuart Broad To Brendon McCullum

Stuart Broad To Brendon McCullum
Defended off the front foot by the batsman presenting the full face of the bat.
Stuart Broad was about to deliver but McCullum pulled out as there was a cracking sound of thunder. The groundsmen are getting ready with the covers. Oh dear, we don't want D/L to take part in this match. Well, the umpires have decided to carry on though, just two more balls left to constitute a game.

Jade Dernbach To Martin Guptill OUT!
OUT! Gone! Dernbach goes short with his length and takes the batsman by surprise. Guptill takes it on and aims to pull it across the line over mid-wicket. But it takes the top edge and balloons in the air for Jordan to grab a simple catch inside the ring.
