- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR22.3 cleans him up, and Sandhu gets his reward! Lovely delivery, rushed onto Dawkins and then jagged in wickedly. It doubled Dawkins over, sneaked through bat and pad and made a mess of his stumps 96/212.3 caught at deep backward square leg! Full and overpitched on the pads around the leg stump line, moves forward and plays the flick shot in front of the square, does not quite get hold of it and clips it aerially. The sweeper fielder covered plenty of ground and dived in to hold on to the catch. Great display of athleticism there! 48/135.3 bowled him with a peach! Delivery of the tournament for me! Tossed up a good length ball on the off stump channel and deviates slightly inwards off the pitch, sneaks through the small pocket space between the bat-pad, kisses the right glove and crashes onto the middle-off stumps. A dream delivery for any spinner out there. What a way to dismiss the highest run scorer of the tournament! One for the history books! 148/427.2 tried to cut it away, but the top edge finds short third! He went deep in his crease but Sanjay was a little fuller than Rew may have expected, and got couldn't get into the perfect position. It gets a top edge, and short third has the most comfortable catch 113/347.3 holes out to long-on! Falconer got in line of the ball and went back over Clarke's head, but he got more height than distance. Jones had enough time to get underneath it and take a smart catch 211/641.2 forces through the gates with another beaut! Generously flighted good length ball pitching around the off stump line and turns back in sharply with the extra bounce off the pitch, Albert moves towards the line of the ball to prod it down on the track, plays the front foot drive and misses the line of the ball there, sneaks through the bat-pad again and disturbs the furniture! 175/549.1 Clarke strikes off the first ball. Morgan opened his body up and carved it to sweeper cover, but Burns takes a good catch diving forward to nab another English scalp 225/7Extras16 (b 4, lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL234/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.68)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Joseph Moores, 12.3 ov), 2-96 (Ben Dawkins, 22.3 ov), 3-113 (Thomas Rew, 27.2 ov), 4-148 (Ben Mayes, 35.3 ov), 5-175 (Ralphie Albert, 41.2 ov), 6-211 (Caleb Falconer, 47.3 ov), 7-225 (Sebastian Morgan, 49.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 has that been taken? Yes, it appears to have been! Another crunching drive but cover-point dives forward to his right and plucks it inches off the ground. Important early wicket for England to get. The third umpire's just having a look at the no-ball though The catch is clean, so that's not an issue, but the non-striker's bat is in the way of the front foot, so it was hard to establish conclusively. It's been given out. Harshly, I feel 13/17.2 this one does kiss the edge and Lumsden strikes off his second ball! He hung his bat out at a wide one, and it took the edge on its way through to Rew 45/27.6 and that's another one, what an over from Lumsden! This time it's Jones who pokes at one and it comes back in to nudge the outside edge. England right on top now 46/326.3 and this time he drags that pull straight to short midwicket. They telegraphed that dismissal with the short line and the fielder, but Reddy failed to see the danger. Couldn't get on top of the bouncer, with the ball hitting the splice of the bat and giving Albert a straightforward catch. 112/516.2 More trouble for New Zealand! Back of a length ball around off, rocks back and plays the square cut, splices to short third, confusion in the middle and Matzopoulos had to scamper back to the danger zone. He dived in fully stretched, but in the end, the batter was well short of his ground. 64/429.1 has he taken another splendid catch? Chipped to short cover, where there's a dive forward to pluck the ball from centimetres off the ground - or is it? They're going through the various replays as it's a close call. It's given! Falconer helps his side with a big wicket, and now England will feel they're close 126/638.2 squeezes him down legside, and England edge closer! It was a slower bouncer that stopped on Sandhu, who checked his shot. It took a faint nick off his bat, and Sandhu falls 168/833.6 this one goes straight to Dawkins at long-on. The pressure was building and he felt he had to take him on, but it got more height than distance 146/738.4 cleans him up! Lumsden is on fire today! This one keeps low, and as he swivels to try and pull it away, he finds he cannot trust the bounce, and his off stump is rattled. England one away 169/938.5 and that's it! Lumsden finishes with a five-wicket haul, with three wickets this over! New Zealand have been beaten by 65 runs, and England seal a 65-run win that takes them through to the semis 169/10Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL169 all out (38.5 Overs, RR: 4.35)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Aryan Mann, 1.3 ov), 2-45 (Hugo Bogue, 7.2 ov), 3-46 (Tom Jones, 7.6 ov), 4-64 (Brandon Matzopoulos, 16.2 ov), 5-112 (Snehith Reddy, 26.3 ov), 6-126 (Callum Samson, 29.1 ov), 7-146 (Selwin Sanjay, 33.6 ov), 8-168 (Jaskaran Sandhu, 38.2 ov), 9-169 (Harry Burns, 38.4 ov), 10-169 (Hunter Shore, 38.5 ov)
