So that is it from this game! The stage is all set for the final T20I. The winner takes the series. It will be played on the 10th of November at 1400 local (0100 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says he is absolutely thrilled, it was a clinical performance in a must-win game. States they were very good with the ball and the bat. Credits Malan and Parkinson for the way they played. He is also delighted with the way he played and they managed to make most of the surface. Ends by saying they need to get better as the series goes on and he is looking forward for the last game.
New Zealand skipper, Tim Southee, says they need to get over this defeat and look forward to the game coming up. Further adds they got off to a nice start but then they started to lose wickets and that made it difficult. He jokingly says, if weather does play a part in the 5th T20I, it should not come down to boundaries.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Dawid Malan, says it is a special moment. The intent Morgan and himself showed from ball 1 was exceptional and it is good they performed well in a crunch game. States they have made silly mistakes throughout but are pleased they played well in this game and is hoping to win the next game too and win the series.
The England bowling was led by the young leggie, Parkinson. He was the pick with a four-fer. Jordan also took a couple. The rest of the bowlers also had a wicket each. A complete performance you can say from the away side. Stay tuned for the presentation.
242 then was always going to be a huge target but New Zealand did start off decently. However, once the first wicket fell, they kept losing wickets and in the end it was too much of a task. When chasing such a huge total, you need one of the top order batters to score big but that was not the case, their top scorer was Tim Southee. All in all, it has been a day to forget for the hosts.
A comprehensive win in the end for the visitors! They needed a good performance to level the series and they have delivered in this must-win game. To be honest this game was set up by their skipper Morgan and the centurion, Malan. The 182-run stand between them batted New Zealand out of the game.

OUT! He is just short! The dive does not save him. A full ball is hit towards mid off by Boult. Sodhi wants strike so he rushes off. Boult sends him back. Sodhi turns and looks to get back in with a dive but Jordan hits bull's eye at the bowler's end. An appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Sodhi is short. England a wicket away now from leveling the series.
A direct hit and is Sodhi a goner? England are celebrating.

Matt Parkinson To Ish Sodhi
NOT OUT! It is pitching outside leg! The review was more in hope we feel. England too lose their review in the same over. Parkinson tosses it up outside leg, it turns and hits the pad of Sodhi as he tries to flick. An appeal as the batters take a leg bye towards short fine leg. The umpire shakes his head. Billings feels it is close and wants the review to be taken. Morgan does so. Replays roll in and they show the on-field call is correct again. An action-packed last over by Parkinson. 13 runs and a wicket. End of an excellent spell from him. 4-0-47-4, his figures.
Another huge shout has been turned down. England have reviewed the decision. It seems like it is pitching outside leg.
Ish Sodhi is the new batsman in.

Matt Parkinson To Tim Southee OUT!
OUT! Three reds and Southee needs to continue his walk back. He actually is already off the field even before he was given out by the third umpire. 4-fer for Parkinson and he has one ball to get a fifer. He bowls a flighted ball on middle, Southee shuffles across and looks to play the slog sweep but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. Southee reviews. Replays roll in and it shows that the on-field call is the right one. New Zealand lose a review. Southee's cameo comes to an end.
An appeal for lbw is given in favour of the bowler. Tim Southee is the man in question.

Matt Parkinson To Colin Munro OUT!
OUT! Straight down the throat of the fielder! The set Munro is out of here. Was this shot needed after a wicket fell on the previous delivery? Well, if you look at the target, they have to on every ball. Munro looks to do exactly that. He brings out the slog sweep but Parkinson bowls it nicely and slow outside off. He does not get enough power behind the shot and it goes straight to Brown at deep mid-wicket. Two wickets in two balls for Parkinson. Excellent first over from him. He will be on a hat-trick on the first ball of his next over.

De Grandhomme makes use of his feet again but does not get to the pitch of the ball. He still looks to clear the mid-wicket fence but only gets more height on the shot. Banton does really well to judge it to take it. This chase now looks improbable.

Sam Curran To Colin Munro
Now three! Just times the ball once again. Fuller and on middle, this is flicked wide of mid on. The fielder gives it a chase, the ball stops as it nears the ropes. Three taken. A good first over for the Kiwis.

Sam Curran To Colin Munro
FOUR! Colin Munro is off the mark with a boundary! Unlike Guptill, he does not go to hit it too hard. He waits for the ball to come to him and then just flicks it fine on the leg side for a boundary.

Sam Curran To Martin Guptill
