NZ vs ENG Live Cricket Score

21 OUT! The catch is clean. Don't see why the batsman was asked to wait. He was walking back, the fielder was claiming the catch but the umpires felt it should have been referred. Anyways, clean as a whistle. Nothing suspicious about it. Full and outside off, Guptill looks to go over cover again but this time, finds Ben Stokes at extra cover. He is happy with the catch and walks off but the umpires want a second opinion, giving the soft signal as out. Replays confirm that it is a clean catch. The Kiwis are now in a massive hole. Half the side gone. 79/5

0.3 OUT! Early strike for England and Munro goes for a duck! Terrific bowling from Woakes. He bangs this in the middle of the pitch and Munro looks to tuck it to the leg side. But the ball gets big on him and the bounce does him in. Takes the leading edge which goes straight up in the air. Both Woakes and the keeper Jos Buttler go for the catch but eventually the glovesman calls for it and takes it. Failure for Munro again. 1/1

9.4 OUT! Chops it on! Massive, massive wicket for England. Wood bowls this from very wide of the crease and Williamson is well across his sticks to try and run this down to third man. But the ball just cuts in off the seam, takes the inside edge and crashes into the stumps! Williamson's struggle ends. 26/2

16.4 OUT! Gone next ball! A soft dismissal. Full on middle and leg, Latham just flicks it uppishly, but straight to Ben Stokes at short mid-wicket. Another big wicket. 60/3

17.3 OUT! BOWLED! Oh dear... this innings is disintegrating now. This man has no idea about spin, poor chap. Comes forward initially, then goes back to push at it, is beaten comprehensively by the turn and the ball hits the timber. 61/4

43.5 OUT! The 84-run stand is broken. A length ball outside off, Nicholls looks to swing it across the line but only manages a top edge. The ball goes high in the air and three men converge but eventually, skipper Eoin Morgan calls for it from cover and takes it. Should Nicholls have stayed till the end and allowed the in-form Santner to hit hard? Did he go too early? Did he pick the wrong ball? Too many questions when a wicket falls. Nicholls might sit and ponder about those for a while. This stand has given some respect to the Kiwi total. 177/7

26.3 OUT! De Grandhomme holes out. Really cannot blame him entirely. The runs were not coming and only the wickets were falling. Tossed up outside off, de Grandhomme looks to go big, aims long on but it is the longest part of the ground. He does not have the distance and only finds Tom Curran well inside the boundary. More trouble... The crowd is stunned into silence. England are all over New Zealand here. 93/6

48.1 OUT! The fun ends for Santner. Woakes nips Santner out. This is another off cutter, bowled away from the left-hander and dragged short. Santner looks to pull but is early into the shot. He miscues it up in the air and Alex Hales covers a lot of ground to his right from deep square leg to take the catch. Nasser Hussain on air is impressed with that shot as he reckons that Hales has dropped catches like these in the recent past. End of yet another fantastic innings. 213/8

48.2 OUT! Brilliance from Bairstow! Well, if Hales pulled off a terrific catch on the previous ball, Bairstow has gone a level further and pulled off a stunner. A short ball outside off, Southee swivels and pulls it over mid-wicket. Jonny Bairstow keeps his eyes on the ball, races to his right, sticks out his hand and plucks the ball out of thin air! Absolutely magnificent to watch. 214/9

49.5 OUT! Taken this time. A length ball on off, Sodhi looks to send this out of the park but only succeeds in getting a top edge. Ben Stokes calls for it at deep mid-wicket and take it comfortably. ENGLAND NEED 224 TO WIN THE SERIES... 223/10

20.2 OUT! Not a 10-wicket victory then. Bairstow has damaged the stumps with the willow. Seemed like the only way he could have been dismissed today. A full ball outside off, Bairstow backs away to try and steer it to third man but before the bat can make contact with the ball, it disturbs the timber behind. HIT WICKET it is then, the mode of dismissal to break this opening stand. A shame to end the innings in this way. Great sportsmanship from Kane Williamson - walks up to Bairstow and shakes hands. Really great gesture. Just 69 more needed now. 155/1

24 OUT! Another wicket has fallen. Wow. New Zealand have 2. Full and outside off, Hales looks to give it the kitchen sink but the ball hits the toe end of the bat and goes straight to Kane Williamson at mid-wicket. He is disappointed with himself - just like a kid would be when he misses out on a toffee during a buffet. 177/2

26.4 OUT! That is a fantastic catch from Colin de Grandhomme! A short ball on middle, Morgan heaves this over mid-wicket. Does not seem to have got the distance but what a catch this is from de Grandhomme. He is running to his right near the mid-wicket fence and has to keep in mind the ropes behind. But he takes the catch with a dive and makes sure he does not touch the ropes. Super-cool effort. 32 more needed for England from 140 balls. 192/3
