    If SL don't get a wicket soon, they're on for a huge score.

    As I say that... great great catch on the long off boundary.

    111-1 in the 16th over. McCullum gone for 65

    Williamson dropped by Sangakkara first ball but it was a difficult chance.

    Guptill caught behind for 49.

    136-2 in the 23rd over.
  • Good game this, very interesting.

    What a catch from that guy in the crowd though!!

    Three great catches now (one in the crowd)!!

    Williamson caught in the deep for 57. 193-3 in the 34th over.

    Taylor and Williamson crossed - Ross Taylor is stumped next ball.

    193-4 in the 34th over with two new batsmen. Batting powerplay coming up too.
  • 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?

    Gotta make NZ favourites after those last 15 overs.
  • Gotta make NZ favourites after those last 15 overs.

    NZ are 1.14 on Betfair (or 1/7 in old money) so not a lot of "meat on the bone" there.

    England win the toss and choose to bowl.

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

    Woakes puts down a catch first over..... Anderson not pleased. 3-0.

    And Warner hits the ball straight through Taylor in the fifth over. Probably should've at least got hands on it.

    Looking ominous already. Horrible tone been set. 41-0, 5 overs.

    57-1, 7.3 overs.

    Broad bowls Warner [22(18)] with late swing. We needed that desperately.

    WATSON CAUGHT BEHIND FIRST BALL! c Buttler b Broad
    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!

    57-2, 8 overs complete.

    Woakes bowls Smith [5(9)] in his first over! Considering the test captain's form, I think that's a really big wicket.

    70-3, 10.3 overs.

    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.

    Finch 135 (128) run out Morgan
    216-4, 36.3 overs
