Smith tot O Robinson226/10
Vangbal UIT. OUT! Caught. Nathan Smith to Ollie Robinson. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, caught by Phillips. England have been bowled out for 226, leaving New Zealand with a challenging but attainable target of 254. Nathan Smith starred with the ball, claiming a superb six-wicket haul to trigger a dramatic collapse after England had looked well placed through Emilio Gay's gritty 57 and useful contributions from Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith. The pitch has offered assistance to the seamers throughout the match, so the chase will be far from straightforward, but New Zealand will back themselves to bat patiently and make the most of the favourable position. An intriguing final innings awaits, with the result still very much in the balance.
