Adil Rashid to Mark Chapman, out Stumped!! He's slowed it up to beat Chapman in the flight. Chapman rushed out of the crease for a launch over long-on. Slower through the air so Chapman was early into the shot, bottom hand came off and the body wasn't there as a second line of defence. One of the very easy stumpings for Jos Buttler. Rashid fist pumps to celebrate this wicket. Give him a pitch with some bite and he springs to life.

Liam Dawson to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Will Jacks!! And when he tries to, he holes out to long-off. Mitchell at No. 6? Are New Zealand really sure about this? He walks disappointed as he felt this was a slot ball to be put away. Was a bit too full in the end and he couldn't get enough power

Matt Henry to Phil Salt, out Caught by Tim Seifert!! He is torture! He takes it away, brings it in... all from the same spot. Give him a pitch where the ball moves and he breathes fire. Now he points at someone and roars as he celebrates. Salt has experience of playing in Sri Lanka d

Lockie Ferguson to Jos Buttler, out Caught by Tim Seifert!! Jos Buttler!!! He'd hope it's happening in the semi-final at least. Regulation outside edge to the keeper. Short of a length delivery. No we aren't going to bowl anything in the slot for you guys seems to be the plan from New Zealand.q

Glenn Phillips to Harry Brook, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Glenn Phillips is jumping around in delight. it's tossed up full outside off, Harry Brook backs away and the bat turns on the loft, wanted to hit it a lot squarer, and holes out to long-off. Simple catch to Mitchell. Brook flings the bat in the air and walks away. He is shadow-practicing the shot as he trudges back. A wicket first ball for Phillips. Brook wanted to go over extra-cover but the ball hitting the bottom of the bat.
