Kane Williamson 72(46)
17.6
Jordan to Williamson, out Bowled!! This over has been a tutorial as to how to bowl at death. He has been bull-headed. He has relied on yorkers and sends the death rattle signal to the batsman as well. Yorkerish delivery, the batsman shuffled across completely exposing all the sticks. But the ball thudded onto the pads and off the pads ricocheted into the sticks. 3 runs and a wicket. England will take it with open arms. Williamson b Jordan 72(46) [4s-4 6s-4]
17.5
Jordan to Williamson, no run, saw the batsman advancing down the track and ushers in the yorkerish delivery outside off at a speed of 144.4kph. The batsman trying to dig it out, misses
17.4
Jordan to Chapman, 1 run, the latex laden wrists come down on the lowish full toss and creams the ball away to long-on
17.3
Jordan to Williamson, wide, that is a wild delivery and not only a wide. Spills it miles outside off and the batsman never ever even made an attempt to play at that
17.2
Jordan to Williamson, no run, walks across his sticks and does so by a long way. Looks to fetch it from well outside off and misses. Two dot balls!
17.1
Jordan to Williamson, no run, lowish full toss outside off, more of a yorker if I can create a hybrid of the two. The batsman tried to squeeze it out and misses
16.6
Willey to Chapman, no run, beaten by the lack of pace. Looked to slog it away but the ball decked in a touch slower as compared to what the batsman expected. The ball thuds him into his upper thigh of his front leg. England have reviewed this. No inside edge or is it? Snicko is undecided on it. They can directly see the ball-tracker. It would be missing I am sure. But the trysts with snicko continues. And finally ball-tracker comes out and missing the sticks! Chapman would stay. England lose their only review.
16.3
Willey to Williamson, 2 runs, friendly low full toss. The batsman looks to pepper the cow corner but hacks the ball without any timing and scampers through for a brace
16.2
Willey to Williamson, 2 runs, round the wicket delivery angling in at the base of the sticks. But the class of KW takes over. Backs away and threads the drive powerfully past the dive from the man at cover. But the man at sweeper cover does well to stop it
16.1
Willey to Chapman, 1 run, backs away a little, the ball angles in and has been clipped away behind square for a single
15.5
Mark Wood to Chapman, 1 run, powered away into the on-side and they get a single only

15.2
Mark Wood to Williamson, SIX, full ball down leg and the batsman crouched down to help the ball over fine leg for back-to-back sixes. The skipper is going berserk
15.1
Mark Wood to Williamson, SIX, thwack!!! KW gets to his 8th T20I fifty with a slog on the on-side. The slog fest overs have started and Williamson celebrates it with a mighty club on the on-side over cow corner
14.6
Plunkett to Chapman, 2 runs, clips the ball off the pads into the on-side and they get a brace. Excellent running from the two as they hared back
14.4
Plunkett to Chapman, 1 run, length ball going away and the batsman dinks the ball past the bowler for a single
14.1
Plunkett to Williamson, SIX, full ball, wide ball, bad ball. Bye bye ball. That was picked from well outside off and deposited over long-off for a maximum. Hardly lost a sweat while doing that. NZ will bank on him now
13.6
Adil Rashid to Williamson, 1 run, the hat-trick averted as the ball was flat and on the pads for the batsman to tuck it away
13.2

Adil Rashid to Guptill, 1 run, flattish ball and clipped away into the on-side for a single
12.5

12.5
Plunkett to Williamson, wide, Williamson nearly lost his balance here. This was slower and short, plenty of width as well but he couldn't reach it. Beyond the tramline as well

9.4
Willey to Williamson, 2 runs, superb running! Converted a single into a brace. Slower ball from Willey and it was squeezed towards mid-off. Wasn't timed that well and it helped the batsmen to race back for the second
9.3
Willey to Williamson, FOUR, sloopy by the man at extra cover and it races away to the fence, leaving sweeper cover no chance. Fuller ball, Williamson just backed away and thumped the drive. Was hit hard but these need to be stopped at the international level

Mark Wood to Williamson, 1 run, "How can you miss Mark Wood?", exclaims Nasser Hussain on-air. Very easy chance and it's missed. Fuller ball and Williamson drove it off the inner half towards short mid-wicket. Wood himself went across in his followthrough and the batsmen wanted a non-existent single. Had all the time, three stumps to aim at but misses. That would have been disaster for NZ
4.5
