England vs New Zealand LIVE T20 World Cup cricket result and reaction as England keep hopes alive

Rashid gives away only six runs and the required run rate for New Zealand is more than 10 an over. They are going to need to accelerate. Ben Stokes is back in the field after that finger injury.

Liam Livingstone is into the attack now – Buttler has used a variety of bowlers so far. He keeps it tight with just a few singles before Phillips knocks away for a boundary on the off-side off the final ball.

The final over of the powerplay is bowled by Mark Wood. Glenn Phillips has joined captain Kane Williamson in the middle. Williamson flicks a four off his pads using the pace of Wood’s bowling, then Phillips survives an inside edge which also rushes away to the boundary. That was very close to the stumps.

Ben Stokes immediately looked at his left index finger after that catch, and he’s replaced in the field by Chris Jordan. That’s the finger he broke which caused him huge problems in the IPL.

Jos Buttler brings Sam Curran into the attack in order to target Finn Allen’s weakness against left-arm pace, and it works – Allen lifts the ball invitingly for Stokes to collect at mid-wicket.

Finn Allen clobbers Woakes high all the way to the leg-side boundary, where Harry Brook meets it at the rope but can’t do anything to prevent the six. A few more runs arouns the ground and that’s a good over for the Kiwis.

Rashid into the attack now, and his leg-spin keeps a lid on the run chase.

That mistake by Conway came from Woakes’s pressure building through the over, and what a catch by Buttler, diving at full stretch and gathering in the fingertips of his gloves. Kane Williamson is at the crease.

Devon Conway picks up a couple off Chris Woakes’s first over and Finn Allen pinches a single, before Conway tries a ramp and flicks up for Buttler to fly through the air and catch behind the stumps!

Moeen Ali bowls England’s first over and it’s a good one, offering a couple of opportunities for a slip – had there been one – and ceding only four runs to Devon Conway and Finn Allen.
