England vs New Zealand Preview: New Zealand will hope to become the first team to enter the T20 World Cup semi-finals when they take on former champions England in the second game of the Tuesday double header in Brisbane. T20 World Cup: Full coverage | Schedule | Results | Points Table | News | Photos The two teams have quite the history when it comes to T20 World Cups, having met each other in the semi-finals in each of the last two editions — while England progressed in 2016 with a seven-wicket win in Delhi, it was the Black Caps’ turn to come out on top in Abu Dhabi last year thanks to a match-winning knock from Daryl Mitchell. England began their campaign with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan, but were immediately brought to a screeching halt with a defeat against Ireland in a rain-affected game. Their highly-anticipated Ashes showdown against hosts Australia would later get washed out without a ball bowled, leading to the two teams splitting points. New Zealand, on the other hand, are one of the only two teams yet to lose a game in this tournament, and like South Africa in Group 2, they sit on top of Group 1 despite being level on points with defending champions Australia (5), their superior Net Run Rate putting them ahead. Squads: New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Adam Milne, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman England: Jos Buttler(w/c), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Tymal Mills, Philip Salt Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.

That’s a big one. Neesham has been caught in the deep by Sam Curran. Wood bowls that short, forces Neesham to take the aerail route towards the longer side of the boundary. Philips needs to stay right till the end now
Here’s the breakthrough that England needed. Kane Williamson tries to guide that one to the third man region but doesn’t time that well and is caught at short third man for 40 off 40
Philips is showing his class today. That’s two in a row for him. Goes on the back foot and hammers it over mid-wicket and then goes for the slog sweep to get the second maximum in the over. Some brilliant batting is on display here
Philips picks that one up. Wood has been bowling quick but this time he misses the line and length. Bowls it full, on to his pads and the batter hits that over widish long on for a maximum
England have picked up a couple of early wickets but Kane Williamson has held the fort at one end. New Zealand though need to up the scoring rate now
GOOD NEWS for England fans. Ben Stokes has return back on to the field after taking a bit of a break. He felt some pain in the left index finger after taking a catch
After 6 overs,New Zealand 40/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 15 , Glenn Phillips 4)
ENG vs NZ LIVE
What a delivery from Wood to end the over. Full, just outside off Philips tries to defend that but the ball takes the inside edge and races away to the boundary behind
After 5 overs,New Zealand 28/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 8 , )
ENG vs NZ LIVE SCORE
Sam Curran has struck for England. New Zealand are in a spot of bother. A touch back of the length and Finn Allen goes for the pull, doesn’t time that well and is caught at deep mid-wicket by Ben Stokes for 16 off 11. Perfect planning, perfect execution. There was a fielder standing there
That’s the first one down and it’s a HUGE ONE! Devon Conway goes across and tries to go over the wicket-keeper’s head but just gets a bit of inside edge on it and Buttler takes a stunning catch diving to his right
After 1 overs,New Zealand 4/0 ( Finn Allen 3 , Devon Conway (W) 1)
ENG vs NZ LIVE
A good tight over from Moeen Ali first up. Conway and Allen need to be cautious at the start of the innings. Moeen has deceived Conway with pace
After 20 overs,England 179/6 ( Sam Curran 6 , Dawid Malan 3)
NZ vs ENG LIVE SCORE
New Zealand managed to pick some wickets at the end of the innings but England have compiled a good total as they have put 179/6 in 20 overs. This is surely a good total from England. They would have expected to add some more but the Blackcaps got wickets at crucial junctions
After 19 overs,England 163/5 ( Ben Stokes 3 , Sam Curran 0)
NZ vs ENG LIVE
Some brilliance in the field from Kane Williamson handed New Zealand an important wicket of Jos Buttler. Ben Stokes pushed one towards the off side and Williamson stationed at extra cover put in the dive to stop the ball. Buttler who was at the non-striker’s end had already come out of the crease but Stokes denied the run. Williamson was quick enough to throw it to the non-striker’s end and the rest was done by Southee who turned back and broke the stumps.
A six and a wicket to start that over. Brook hammered one out of the park to the long on boundary and then tried to go over long off but didn’t execute his stroke well and was caught by Finn Allen for 7 off 3
Buttler in that form is a treat to watch. That stroke seems to be inspired from Tennis forehand. Boult bowls that short, moving away from the right-hander and the England captain hammers that straight down the ground for another maximum
Buttler is on the charge now. He goes straight down the ground for a four and has now pulled this one to deep backward square leg boundary for another one
Here’s the breakthrough. Sodhi strikes as Moeen Ali tries to take him on. The spinner bowls that touch back of the length as Moeen goes back in his crease to drag that towards the fence on the on side but doesn’t get the distance and is caught by Boult for 5 off 6
Rare scenes! NEW ZEALAND HAVE DROPPED A CATCH! Ferguson pulls the length on that as Buttler goes for the pull but finds Daryl Mitchell in the deep but he has dropped. Mitchell certainly over ran on that one and that’s a chance gone begging. New Zealand need to hold on to those kind of catches
Buttler was waiting for that length. Fuller one, outside off and the England opener throws the kitchen sink on it to get the boundary around the long off area
Santner finally has a wicket as he removes Hales who has been stumped. That one just turned away from the right-hander as he came down the track but missed it completely and the rest was done by Conway. He is out for 52 off 40
After 9 overs,England 67/0 ( Jos Buttler (C) (W) 19 , Alex Hales 46)
ENG vs NZ LIVE
This has been a good start from both the batters. They have laid a good foundation fro a big total here and England now need to build on that
DROPPED! Williamson made a valiant effort to take that one but it has touched the ground. Buttler takes the aerial route as he tries to go over covers, Williamson charges from extra cover, puts in the dive, catches the ball before it touches the ground
Hales had a maximum earlier in that over and he now goes through the off side and gets a couple of boundaries. He comes down the wicket and smashes that length ball through the covers. The right-hander is looking in good touch now. He wants to make good use of the remaining overs in the powerplay
After 3 overs,England 21/0 ( Jos Buttler (C) (W) 5 , Alex Hales 16)
England vs New Zealand
A boundary to finish that over. Boult bowls one into the slot and Hales hits that over mid off for a boundary. He didn’t time that really well but still got a boundary
After 1 overs,England 9/0 ( Jos Buttler (C) (W) 3 , Alex Hales 6)
England vs New Zealand
Boult is getting the ball to swing. He almost had a wicket in that over as he bowled one angling into the right-hander. Hales got an inside edge and ran away for four behind. A good start from the left-arm bowler
Playing XI
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
