END OF OVER:
20 | 10 Runs 2 Wkts | NZ: 139/8 | RR: 6.95

  • Ian Butler1 (1b)
  • Jade Dernbach4-0-36-3
  • Stuart Broad4-0-15-3

That was a sharp display from England with the ball and in the field, led by the captain Stuart Broad and a fine spell from Steven Finn. Martin Guptill tried to hold New Zealand together but never had any great scoring rate to his innings. This is not as free-scoring a ground as the previous two, but New Zealand look short by 15-20 runs. We'll find out in a few moments.

JohnnyReb: "I can count on one hand the number of times NZ has hit with the middle of the bat. Broad and co. doing looking like Steyn and Morne."

Dernbach to Franklin, OUT, neat catch off the final ball, trying to go over the off side and can't get it further than cover moving back from the edge of the ring

Dernbach to Franklin, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries, this one with a little more luck as he swings to leg and gets a edge just wide of a flying Buttler...wasn't a chance

Dernbach to Franklin, FOUR, top shot, short of a length and Franklin goes straight over mid-off who is inside the circle

Dernbach to Butler, 1 run, heaved into the leg side from a good length, rather dribbles to deep midwicket

Sebastian Lee: "To think Broad was taken to the cleaners last night, you couldn`t have written it better"

Dernbach to NL McCullum, OUT, Buttler doesn't need to throw this one because there's an edge on it. McCullum moving to leg to try and get it through the off side but can only guide it into the gloves

Broad to Franklin, 1 bye, another short ball, another fresh-air shot, another bye, another miss from Buttler behind the stumps
18.5
W
Broad to Guptill, OUT, short again, a wicket again. Guptill gets into a tangle as he tries to work this to leg and gets a top edge that Broad takes easily. Not a free-flowing innings, he never hit top gear. The value, or otherwise, will become clear a little later

MJ Guptill c & b Broad 59 (77m 55b 2x4 1x6) SR: 107.27

Broad to Franklin, 1 bye, another bye is taken after Franklin was beaten by a short ball...Buttler not winning any games of ten-pin bowling right now. Franklin wanted a wide, too

1
Broad to Guptill, 1 run, short ball, beats him for pace at 143kph, can only splice his pull into the leg side

Steven Finn has left the field after that

18.2
1
Broad to Franklin, 1 run, dropped, a rare mistake in the catching from England. Franklin gave himself a touch of room and drilled it hard to mid-off, but Finn could not quite get down to a very low chance. Tough.

Broad to Guptill, 1 run, full on off stump, Guptill shuffles across and scoops (not in the Buttler sense) down to long-on

Dernbach to Guptill, SIX, this one comes out of the middle, low full toss outside off and Guptill cracks it over deep midwicket. That will feel a bit better

Dernbach to Franklin, 1 bye, beats the batsman outside leg stump, goes through Franklin's legs to the keeper but they steal a bye as Buttler's throw is wide
17.3

Dernbach to Guptill, 1 run, excellent slower ball, Guptill can only drop it by his feet by they get through for the single that takes him to fifty...Dernbach kicked the ball into the stumps again from his follow through. Good skills.

Dernbach to Guptill, FOUR, greeted by another first-ball boundary, floated up outside off and it's slammed through the off side to beat long-off

Dernbach is back

That ends a quality four overs from Finn. Looked in good rhythm tonight

Finn to Guptill, 1 run, gets lucky (or not depending on your point of view) as he aims a swipe across the line and the top edge falls between Buttler running back and third man coming in

Finn to Franklin, 1 leg bye, short on leg stump, this time he gets inside the line and it comes off the third pad to fine leg
