England vs New Zealand

Over-by-over report: England take on New Zealand at the Gabba in a match vital for their T20 World Cup fortunes. Join Geoff Lemon for updates.

9th over: New Zealand 62-2 (Williamson 27, Phillips 14) Set and forget for Liam Livingstone: just keeps bowling fast and on a length, and Williamson and Phillips keep getting on the front foot to tap a run or two to the off side. So a good score for England, but they didn’t take advantage of the start that Buttler and Hales gave them. Allen is the player who can carve off a huge chunk of a chase in quick time, and he’s gone for relatively few. Fast and skiddy and tight on the stumps, and mostly a bit short, drawing plenty of cut shots. 13th over: New Zealand 96-2 (Williamson 37, Phillips 36) A few sneaky bonus runs for New Zealand: they run on a wide, then get an overthrow from a direct hit at the non-striker’s end. Still, only four off the over, and New Zealand have batted themselves into a hole. As Rashid goes fuller to compensate, and Phillips drops to one knee and pulverises it into the stands. And for the first time tonight, he follows up a hit with another. Phillips with 62 from 36 did his best to repair the damage, and Williamson did a job in going with him, but with 40 from 40 he needed to push the accelerator himself a bit harder. He misses the first one and pulls a single from the second, leaving Santner needing to hit the last four balls for six to go… Brandishes the ball to the crowd! 15th over: New Zealand 123-3 (Phillips 56, Neesham 4) First ball to the middle, last ball of the over, and Neesham pulls it for four!

“We did not bowl the right lines and lengths.” “We tried to put up a good score but the pitch was too slow and we fell short. “We had a good start in the powerplay but did not keep the momentum till the end,” Nabi said of the Afghanistan effort in the field. The target of 145 was at least 20 runs short of a competitive total and Sri Lanka cruised home with nine balls to spare when De Silva hit he winning four to take them to 148-4. Buttler won the toss and chose to bat in a match the English realistically need to win to stay in contention for a semi-final place. “The other games are beyond our control, but the aim is to win the next game with a healthy run rate.” Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi won the toss and chose to bat but Sri Lanka restricted them to 144-8, thanks largely to a fine spell from leg-spinner and player of the match Wanindu Hasaranga. Despite six of Afghanistan’s batsmen getting a good start to their innings, none was able to convert to a big score with Usman Ghani’s 27 being the best. It built on what was a strong start from England to back up their batting display, with the decision to start with spinner Moeen Ali paying dividends immediately. But the current English skipper could be left to regret a late clatter of wickets which put a possible score of 200 out of reach in a must-win game for his men. Buttler continued his heroics in the field, taking a spectacular diving catch to dismiss Devon Conway for just three runs. Captain Jos Buttler smashed 73 off 47 balls to lead England to 179-6 in their Twenty20 World Cup clash against New Zealand at the Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday.
