New Zealand reach a rather formidable 331-6. Even more so when you consider that they have won 14 and tied one on the 15 occasions they have reached 300 at home.
The main contributors were McCulum 65 (49), Guptill 49 (62), Williamson 57 (65) with a fantastic knock at the end from Anderson of 75 (47).
Malinga, post recent foot op, bowled rather indifferently in posting figures of 10-0-84-0. When was the last time he did that?
England have been sloppy in the field all day... until Morgan runs out the thorn in our side: Finch. Great throw, there was never really a run on there though.

Ballance is in the team for Bopara. Morgan says Ballance will bat at three.

Looking ominous already. Horrible tone been set. 41-0, 5 overs.
Broad bowls Warner [22(18)] with late swing. We needed that desperately.
57-2, 7.4 overs.
Broad on a hat-trick... Steve Smith to come to the crease. Smith ONLY just digs out a good yorker... close!
