We're done with this match. The next set of two warm-up games involving Afghanistan and West Indies, Pakistan and South Africa will begin shortly at 6 pm local (2 pm GMT). You can now switch tabs and get all the updates. Cheers!

Apart from a bit of extra work towards the end, England will be satisfied with their bowling show. They were put under pressure initially by Martin Guptill but after that, the English bowlers picked up the intensity in the middle overs. As mentioned earlier, Adil Rashid picked three crucial wickets and was quite handy with his variations. The English batting though still needs to get more effective and sharp. Jos Buttler had a good outing and Sam Billings also showed his skills in the death overs but the form of Jason Roy, Eoin Morgan and Dawid Malan remains a big concern for them.

It was a stiff target for New Zealand but apart from Martin Guptill and his stand with Devon Conway, there wasn't much fight shown. Todd Astle and Ish Sodhi did put up a good resistance but you can't take a lot of confidence from their partnership. All the other Kiwi batters looked in a hurry and England had no qualms in giving them the return ticket. Adil Rashid bounced back well after a disappointing show against India and picked up three wickets. Mark Wood also bowled with a lot of fire and pace and claimed a 4-wicket haul. Not the kind of outing the Blackcaps would have planned for but at least they now know the areas they need to focus on.

Great fight from the final partnership but eventually, England managed to cross the line. From 103/9, the Three Lions let the game drift away a bit and can certainly not afford to do that in the main tournament. To close the game effectively is something England would like to do better in the coming games.

Chris Woakes To Todd Astle OUT!

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Chris Woakes ends the game well for England. Todd Astle and Ish Sodhi gave them a nervy end but the Brits do well to cross the line here. This is bowled slightly shorter, around off and middle, Todd Astle gets inside the line and looks to work this to the leg side but the ball takes the thigh pad and clips the top of the leg pole. England win by 13 runs!

Update - India have won their warm-up game against Australia by 9 wickets whereas Namibia have managed to outclass the Netherlands, all thanks to the knock from David Wiese. They have opened their account and made Group A very interesting.

Chris Woakes To Todd Astle

Fuller, on off, Todd Astle hits it to the extra cover fielder in the ring. Takes a single. 37 needed off 24 balls, is there some life left in this chase?

15.6

Chris Woakes To Todd Astle

FIVE WIDES! The ball has missed everything! Chris Woakes delivers this way too wide outside the off stump. Maybe Todd Astle going across his crease made him bowl that wide. But he gets it too wide for anyone to stop it as the ball goes away from Jos Buttler for a boundary at third man.
