England take all 10 New Zealand wickets with catches.

New Zealand v England 2nd T20 international.

England win by 65 runs. New Zealand ao for 171 after 18 overs.

New Zealand 169-9 after 17.3

New Zealand now need 100 runs off 35 balls …

New Zealand 135-6 after 14 overs.

New Zealand v England 2nd T20 international.

England, batting first, scored 236-4 in their 20 overs.

Phil Salt 85 off 56, Harry Brook 78 off 35.

A record run chase of 237 for New Zealand is required.

That worked quite well for a first attempt. Slightly soggy bottom my only criticism 😁

Served with garlic roast potatoes, some soy glazed broccoli and samphire. Sunday dinner sorted!

India finish 5 short of their required 289, scoring 284-6. England win and qualify for the World Cup semifinals 👏

Now 14 from the last over.

India need 17 off 9 …
