England v New Zealand Cricket: Champions Trophy Highlights

The trophy shared between India and Sri Lanka. West Indies courageous.

2013 - India! Hello and welcome to Cardiff for England versuses New

Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy. It's the second round of games in

Group A and a win for England will cement their place in the

semi-finals having beaten Bangladesh in their first match. A no result

against Australia, New Zealand know they need a win here to keep their

hopes of progressing alive am with frustrated by the weather again

yesterday, England sit on top of Group A. New Zealand are third with

a point from that first washed out match. One change to the England

team that replaced Bangladesh last Thursday. Adil Rashid returns to

rereplace Chris Woakes who will miss the remainder of the tournament with

a side train. Eoin Morgan confirmed that Ben Stokes is fit enough to

bowl his full quota of ten overs. As expected, New Zealand are unchanged

keeping fate with Neil Broom batting at five. Kane Williamson and Luke

Ronchi will look to produce a formidable attacking play that they

became Fay mouse for back in 2015. The weather has been much talked

about over the last few days of this tournament. It's no different here

in Cardiff with very windy and unsettled conditions forecast for

the whole day. Eoin Morgan's poor record of winning toss conditioned.

New Zealand chose to bowl first. Jason Roy and Alex Hales opening the

batting for England. COMMENTATOR: First ball. There is a

little bit of shape there. They want the appeal for lb. They feel it just

flicked the pad on the way through. Driven nicely. He's off the mark,

even with the swing. He went with the shape. He's not going to hold

back. He's a little bit long there. A little bit long, a little bit

wide. Don't bowl there to him. He likes it

wide. Boundary for Roy, a boundary for Hales.

Pulled away. Is it a maximum? It is. First of the day. That's the shorter

boundary on that side. Hales has taken advantage of it. Loose ball

from Boult. Was struggling with his rhythm at the crease. Come round the

wicket. Feels he can tuck H app les up. It's too short. 11.00am today

there will be a minute's silence all round the UK. After what happened on

Saturday evening. Tragic events. The players know that. Everyone here

knows that. Even if it's mid-over. That could just run away for four.

It does, a couple of bounces. 31-0. Just going to see a replay of that

boundary. Then after that, the umpires have informed the players

that, after the tragic events of Saturday night, they and the country

will pause for a moment's sigh lens. The terrible adros trolls 'tis on

London on Saturday our thoughts are with those whos lost their lives,

their family friends and everyone who has been affected. In tribute,

please join us in a national moment of silence.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. APPLAUSE

COMMENTATOR: Good shot. To the off-side. Almost like he was going

to target the leg-side. Down the ground. Yeah. You're right. He was

looking leg-side here and mid-wicket. You can see how far

across his stumps he went. I think, for that reason, millen decided to

push it a little bit further outside off stump. Oh, he's got him. He

himmies across the off-stump again. It's straight to the delivery.

Clatters into the leg stump. Roy very disappointed. Yep, as earlier

in the over Roy shimmying across his stumps, looking to open up that

leg-side. This time, millen, instead of pushing it he goes the other ruin

route. In the end he's gone for 13. England have lost their first for 37

-- Milne. That's whipped away from off-stump. Risky from Hales. It

wasn't a bad delivery at all. Use of the feet and use of the feet

successfully. Beautifully played by Joe Root. That was the temptation.

Normally you would have that man back, if you're allowed five out.

You can't. One guy in the circle. Root takes advantage. Yeah they got

him back for Hales, not for Joe Root. Square on the leg-side.

Aggressive use of the feet. All the way. Good strike from Joe Root.

Beautiful shot. Repeating what he did earlier. Brave, trying to look

for turn. Flight in the ball. Getting the ball up there as he

should with the field set for him. Joe Root more than up for the task.

Very fine indeed. That will go all the way. Four now in the over.

Classic example of a bowler bowling exactly to his field. A bit afraid

to toss it too far up. Oh, straightaway. 100 comes up. A little

bit streaky, but no slip and place. Very good delivery, but the edge New

Zealand were looking for, coming a bit too late.

That will be four more, I think. Outfield's not quick, but it's good

enough. Timed well enough, Trent Boult couldn't get around. Well

placed. Root did very well to catch up with that. Even better to time it

as well as he did. It raced across the ground.

Needed a change. They've got a change, Alex Hales, another 50.

Fifth in his last eight matches. APPLAUSE

Now, yes, releases the shackles there. So hard to down over long off

for six. Fantastic shot. Got to his 50. He's taken a breath. Milne

bouncing him the delivery before. It's almost certain he will be going

back, searching for a better length next delivery. Alex Hales read it

perfectly, down the track. A flat six. Quite dangerous if your' a

spectator, right in front of the pitch on the short boundaries

because these batmen, in the modern-day, can hit the ball hard.

Long and straight. Having said that, he breaks through inside edge onto

the stumps. New Zealand have the breakthrough that they have wanted

for the past ten overs. Expecting a short ball. He's sitting back there

expecting a short ball after running down the wicket. Slower from Milne

achl very good slower ball. Hales is waiting. He thinks it's going to be

short. Milne gets revenge. Six and then out for Alex Hales. Good half

century, but he departs the scene, 118-2 as Hales goes for 56. 118-2

with Hales just bowled by Milne for 56, the danger signs were there for

New Zealand. A very damaging partnership was developing with Joe

Root. Second slip came in. Morgan fighting

fire with fire. He's away. Sums him right, 123 had of 2 after 21 overs.

Good position. Foundation laid. His role is to come out and fight fire

with fire. Williamson put it in to show them that they are on the

charge against them. He's responded beautifully.

It was straight on this occasion. Morgan has answered it with the

straightest of bats as well. Sawdust has possibly cost Morgan a boundary

there. There is that short ball. Morgan pulls to the longest part of

the ground. Confident pull shot from Morgan. Seen him hit on the head. He

suffered concussion. Pulling to deep square leg and fine leg.

Pulls again behind square. It won't go to the fence this time. Morgan,

in excellent touch. 133-2. An around about way of saying he has

no weaknesses. An edge from Morgan. Very wide and Morgan looking to skip

down and hit that over the off-side. Another big wicket for New Zealand

in this crucial middle phase of the game. The in-form Morgan has gone.

He's got a golden arm corpy Anderson. It can be expensive times.

He went wide. Looked like he was trying to sell it as well. Not in

this day and age, he's off. Yeah. It was there to be hit. All Morgan

could do was faet ter through to the wicket keeper. He's gone for 13, and

England are 134-3. First dab from Root down to the

short side. Shows you just how short it is because it didn't look as

though he got anything on that, really. It nearly went for four. It

touches the rope. Yeah. That's going to have to be a boundary.

That's why there is a price tag on his head. He has just pumped a

shortage ball from Anderson. Straight over mid-wicket for six.

Stokes will scamper to the striker's end. 150-3. Slower ball. Stokes was

waiting for. It just pumped that down the ground.

Another excellent shot from Stokes as well. Corey Anderson bowls there,

it's an easy clip to the on-side for Root, who will scamper back for two.

Oh, it could be out there. Got a hand on that. They're going to have

a look. Joe Root has already been run outbacking up this summer.

Against south Africa. They look at each other. Root's smiling.

Joe Root has been run out already this summer backing up. That's why

he was smiling at Ben Stokes. This time he's fine.

This time he has to dive out of the way. Watch out the non-striker's end

when Ben Stokes is batting. Have a laugh about it. Just bludgeoned this

down the ground. Advancing, on top of the bounce. None of it. Jimmy

Neesham. It's a nice shot. It will get through. It will definitely get

through. You're not catching it up now. That's the issue. To bowl, it's

a floater from Jimmy Neesham. This field is certainly not the length he

should be looking to bowl. I'm sure that's not the plan they talked

about. Lovely planning from Ben Stokes and good placement.

If it up, it's off. Not the biggest of hits. It doesn't have to be here

at Cardiff. That's a maximum. Pressure straight encory Anderson.

On Corey Anderson. Good batting. Oh, dragged on. Dragged on. Frustration

from Root. He hadn't much of the strike. That's a big blow for

England. It was building the whole time the fact help couldn't get down

on strike. He couldn't keep the rhythm am he had built going. Very

unlike Joe Root that for me. That is spot on. That's just frustration.

Walks off shaking his head. Good innings. Not good enough. 64 off 65.

He's frustrated still walking off, 188-4. England's touch player may

have gone in Joe Root. They have two big hitters at the crease now. Jos

Buttler comes in. Ranking number 17. He's been quiet of late.

That's not where you bowl. Leans on it. It's too full. Too full from

Milne. Tim Southee showed the way. At the moment Stokes is going to

take the single. 200 comes up for England. Regulation. Plenty of overs

to go and plenty of batting to come. Goes for the ramp. He could be on

his way. He is. He thought he'd just paddle it to the short bount

boundary with the wind, ramp it over the keeper. He got more contact than

he was over. The short ball worked a trick for Boult. A massive wicket

for New Zealand. An ideal time to get a wicket as well. Shows off the

skill of Ben Stokes. Unfortunately, straight down to third man. New

Zealand could not have asked for a wicket at a better time. Getting rid

of Stokes. He's walking off a bit de-8 jebthed. Two short of his 50.

England are 210-5. The The next man to the crease, ranking of 71. Strike

rate pretty good, just over 100. Average just under 28. Moeen Ali

works that away. To could have gone the whole distance. Yes, it has.

With the wind. Got just enough contact. It sailed over the

advertising cushion. Got him. Brilliant catch by Trent

Boult, at short fine leg. Another drag down delivery. Moeen Ali's eyes

lit up. He thought he had another boundary coming his way. Not to be.

A flying Boult puts paid to his innings. Wonderful catch by Trent

Boult. For a faster bowler, he's so athletic. Again, what I would term a

poor delivery. Yes, very, very lucky that Moeen Ali hit it straight,

slightly to the left of Trent Boult, for a flying Trent Boult. England

have just lost an important wicket, 230-6. Adil Rashid, he didn't play

the first match. That was against Bangladesh. He gets a nice freebie

to put away. Is it off the pad? No. Anderson thinking of a nice Yorker.

The umpires are holding their nerve. Charges into the wind, into the

rain. Drags it in, top edge. Over the keeper. It's going to work it is

way to the boundary. Jos Buttler of the first boundary off 24

deliveries. That doesn't often happen. He took it on. It's actually

off the helmet. Was it off the bat or just off the helmet? Tim Southee

was asking the umpire, did he get an edge on that. Or leg butt. No

contact. Anything to make their figures look good. Ten runses from

that Tim Southee over brings up 250 for England. Really varied hiss post

beautifully. You will do well to catch that up. You won't. He fires

it in, inside off-stump. Beautiful defendant touch. Rashid scores in

unusual areas. He squirts the ball off, very strong off-side player.

He's playing a little cameo here. 12 from 10 deliveries. Oh, close. Yeah,

given. England have a review. Rashid's debating on height.

. He's going to ask his partner. He needs to be quick here.

Eventually they use their review. Thank you, that's a fair delivery.

Thank you. OK, that looks like he's missed that. We will go to hotspot

just to confirm. Thank you. I've got nothing on hotspot. We will check

ultra edge, please. Thanks. Split screen will show he's missed it

clearly as well. Pitching in, impact is in line. Hitting the wickets. So

you'll be staying with your decision, which was out. You are on

screen. Yeah, given out on the field.

Given out under review. Tactical review with England, with six overs

left. They trialled, they failed. Rashid made 12, 260-7. Tsh tried.

Short again. Tennis shot from Buttler. The pace out there can't

cut it off. Three men out. He finds the gap.

What a shot that is. What an incredible shot. Right up on our

camera men there. Ball back, please. That has gone a long way.

APPLAUSE What an unbelievable shot from Jos

Buttler. Trent Boult has bowled brilliantly in this over. He bowled

a pretty good ball there. He hasn't even got down on one knee. He

dropped the shoulder a little bit, flicked his hand. It's so hard to

do. So hard. Buttler wants two. He will come back

for two. It started over a good over. He still goes for ten. 278-7.

Is As I said when Plunkett came in. On a tailender, he's very quick on

the pull. Can't bully Liam lunge he. Plunkett. Again, over mid-off. Not

an easy shot to play. A maximum, 50 for Jos Buttler. He loves batting

against New Zealand. He really is a danger man. 291-7.

Pulled away. That could be a maximum. That is a maximum.

APPLAUSE 300 up for England, yet again. It's

not quite up enough. Again, will he cut it off? Yes, he

does. Times his dive perfectly. Up in the air. It should be out. It's

looking into the sun though, the fielder there used his hand well.

Looks easy on the TV there, but for a long time that ball went up in the

sun. Southee caught it and grabbed it well. Yeah, third wicket, Milne,

it's been expensive today. He's come out. Kept that score card ticking

along. Played a nice hand in unison with Buttler. 309-8.

Gone. Buttler won't get back on strike. First ball duck for Wood.

New Zealand continue to take wickets.

Bounce. Out to Taylor. In on the one as well. Simple catch taken. New

Zealand will be very, very happy to pick up another wicket. More

importantly, keep Jos Buttler and the non-strikers in. Number Eleven,

Buttler wants to get back on strike. He's gone. Good bit of fielding at

square leg. Buttler doesn't get back on strike. England don't use up

their overs. A good final over from Southee. At least half of it, it was

in three deliveries. He's got two wickets. England have been bowled

out for 310. Short ball fended. Good catch coming forward. Trent Boult at

square leg. Buttler starved of the strike in that last few overs.

England did well to get up to 2310. A pretty even contest. New Zealand

will not feel daunted. Owen Morgan will be pleased to get a score. As a

captain you always want a few more but that leaves the game nicely

poised. England finish with 310 all from overs. Jason Roy continued his

recent struggles but there was a bit half-century from his fellow opener

Alex Hales who made 56. Backed up by Joe Root with 64, 48 from Ben Stokes

an unbeaten 61 from Jos Buttler. The New Zealand bowlers shared the

wickets around. Trent Boult also bowled effectively late on to

restrict the England run-scoring but the painfully slow over rate did not

go unnoticed. But England will be confident that they can defend their

total with windy conditions and damp in the air. Personally I feel good

and we are batting well as a unit. Hopefully we can bowl well and

defend. How was the surface? Having batted on it, hopefully we might see

some low in the second innings. Hopefully 310 should be a good

score. Do the blustery conditions affect you? A little bit, you just

need to be smart with your options and be clear what the plan is that

both ends. Hopefully we can use that to our advantage. Is there magical

medication but without them and the bowlers? Quite a lot, it is

important especially with one-day cricket now. So there will be

communication and a chat before we go out on the field, on the best way

to get wickets and defend the score. A rain shower lengthen the lunch

break but a strong wind quickly blew the clouds away. Martin Guptill and

Luke Ronchi took to the field chasing three and 11 to claim the

first victory for New Zealand in these champions Trophy. A better

fielding from the England captain, a strong wind that the ball is

operating into. And they're off the mark. Note inside edge involved.

Gone! First delivery, the ideal start for England. Well done Jake

Ball, a perfect length, hitting the pitch hard. And getting the ball

just to nip back from the scene. Luke Ronchi does not cover

off-stump, shows his stumps to the bowler. A confidence boost for Jake

Ball. The dangerous Luke Ronchi gone first ball. New Zealand 141.

A beautiful drive. Slightly overpitched but nicely played. Only

marginally. He hammered away on a good length. This was just a little

bit fuller. What not a bad ball at all.

A slight bit of wits from Jake Ball. Few deliveries to latch onto but

Martin Guptill does it superbly. Another blustery squall here at

Cardiff. Over the top. Williamson. This could

race away and it will. Not that far away from Alex Hales. Mark Wood had

his hands on as headbutt I'm so well Alex Hales could not get round to

cut it off or the catch. -- but time does so well. Lovely, a little hint

of wits and Guptill on it so quickly. He had to bide his time but

a fraction shorter than normal and it just bounced up on him to give

him the room to free those hands. He thought about it. Down the

ground. Could go away for four. 39-1.

Good, very good short ball. A little bit tough on Jos Buttler but an

excellent short ball. Martin Guptill so quickly on it. Ben

Stokes, just one delivery every now and again at this level against

players like Guptill. You bowl him the ball anywhere near hittable and

he will put you away. He absolutely nailed that.

Gone. The golden touch. Guptill has nicked it. You sum up Ben Stokes in

those two deliveries, for ball followed by Golden arm. Guptill

really disappointed. Perhaps expecting another short one. You

just back with his weight. And the catching man and a fifth slip was

waiting and the very dangerous Martin Guptill has gone. A big

wicket for England, Guptill made 27. It is 63-2. That is nasty. This one

did not get up as high as the previous one and crashed into the

side of Ken Williamson. Thank goodness for that helmet.

Right on the side. Thankfully came Williamson is fine. He will be a

little bit rattled. And perhaps some ringing in that left ear. Efficient

so far with the use of variations and crossings. Taylor has yet to get

off the mark. Morgan brought a couple of catches in. At gully as

well, deep square leg is coming. Just kicked as well, maybe the pitch

a little bit moist, something is happening out there. That little bit

of rain just put some moisture on the surface. Ballyronan we saw that

it looked a little bit tacky and crusty in places as well. Just with

that bit of moisture it will have brought that up. He's also big and

tall, hitting the wicket hard. This jumped and I think it has hit him

again in the helmet. That came off the back of the bat. Williamson

looked to duck a shortish ball once again. It has flown off the back of

the bat over Jos Buttler. Bizarre. Rashid could have picked up a couple

of wickets. One chipped past him by Williamson in the first over. Just

beaten mid-on on this occasion. That could go all the way. Over the

man in the deep but bounces before the rope. That is why it brings that

smile. Another boundary for him. That is a bit too wide. The ball

reaches the boundary. Beautifully clicked. Went with the drift, Rashid

on the breeze drifting it in an Williamson clipping it away for

four. Beautiful use of the seat. Rashid bowling a little bit too flat

for my liking. Hit away. Over the man catching on

the leg side right into the gap. Williamson up to the challenge. Just

across the stumps. Just got across onto off-stump and picked it up on

length. He goes the other way and hits it over extra cover. Over extra

cover for four. An expensive over from England, 11 from it. 134-2.

Chipped over leg side. He loves that on-side. That is his greatest

strength. It has been a hallmark of his batting ) when he first on. --

right from when he first came on. Unafraid to hit through the line.

Chipped back over his head, that does not happen to Mark Wood too

often. But he does not bowl to Kane Williamson too often. Beautiful

shot, all timing, all class. Just a little extension is again I think

the wrong length. Perhaps a metre shorter than Liam Plunkett. Gone!

Rips the glove and Kane Williamson is disappointed but he has to be on

his way. A vital breakthrough for England. Yet again, yet again.

Jumping off the seam. Cross seemed delivery. Not much that came

Williamson could do. This really... It is turning out to be the go to

delivery. Ripped the glove. Williamson, a fine innings comes to

an end. 87 he has gone, 158-3. Drag it straight to the man. Joel

Root, a massive wicket. Pressure was building, Taylor tried to take

Mathie debt -- Taylor tried to make matters -- to take matters into his

own hands. Jake Ball has been excellent today. Joe Root takes

another. Further trouble. And further joy for England as Ross

Taylor goes for 39. 168-4. Taking on the attack to Liam

Plunkett, Jimmy Neesham. That will help matters. How is that over

mid-on. Hit that sweetly. There he goes again. Joe Root out at deep

square leg. Correction, Alex Hales at deep square leg. Just what New

Zealand did not need. Not 100% commitment from Jimmy Neeson into

that shot. Jimmy Neesham walking back. 191-5.

That is close. Sweeping a straight ball, leg-spinner from Rashid.

Batsman will have a chat and wonder whether to review but it looked to

be straight enough. New Zealand has to review this. And Neil Broom

reviews it. It is a fair delivery, thank you. We can go to front on.

The original decision is out. OK, nothing there to suggest he has hit

it. We can go to Hot Spot, please. I have nothing there. I'm happy there

is no bat involved so we can go to ball tracking. Still pitching in

line. Impact in line. That is out. We stay with your decision. Original

decision was out so the umpire, that call means that we stay with the on

field position. You heard the third umpire referring to pistol. And he

has pulled the trigger. On Neil Broom. Mid-off is up inside the

circle so that is the boundary option for Corey Anderson.

Powerfully down through mid-off. Brilliant. Down the leg side,

brilliant. White given. But that is fine. Jos Buttler, the stump is

really full, maybe not had a good sighting of it. I think it was a

goodly as well. Look how awful it is, a could take from Jos Buttler.

Done. New Zealand seven down. 206-7. Mitchell Santner goes for

three. I think he put that down, fairly certain that was a return

catch to Adil Rashid and not a difficult one either.

Hit straight back at Rashid and almost surprised him. Pretty

regulation for the these days. -- for the bowlers. He is going to pick

up another wicket antique does. More success for Liam Plunkett, more

success for England. The dangerous Corey Anderson has gone for ten. New

Zealand are eight down. Great intent shown by Corey Anderson but too

little and too late. Saw him going down the track. Dropped it short and

another catch taken on square leg boundary. This is probably get for

New Zealand. Almost 40 now. Corey Anderson goes for ten. Down the

ground but should be taken. He is. Rashid diving forward, Liam Plunkett

deserving of these wickets. His first spell was exceptional. Did not

get his reward but he is now. He has been hostile all day and getting his

reward now. Coming down the wicket trying to manufacture something, but

just manages to get a slice on the ball and gets caught at mid-on quite

comfortably by Rashid. That has gone a long way up and this

should be the end of the game and it is. That is the hammering. England

win and they are the first side through to the semifinals in this

year 's champions Trophy. They win by 87 runs, and absolute hammering

in modern one-day cricket. There are two from two and living up to the

tags of favourite for the tournament. Using an lost Luke

Ronchi in the first over but recovered of Martin Guptill and Kane

Williamson made slow but steady progress until the dismissals

Williamson for a fine 87 and Taylor for 39 turned the game in the favour

of England. The New Zealand batsmen clearly unhappy with the

unpredictability of the pitch but as required rate crept up they had no

answer and were bowled out for 223 in 44.3 overs falling 88 runs short

of their target. An impressive performance all round from the

England bowlers, plenty of pace from the seamers who all got some reward.

The used across same tactic very well, ably supported by Rashid in

conditions that offered him little assistance. England came victory but

87 runs and move into the semifinals with the group games still to play.

New Zealand, their challenge failed to get going really and once

Williamson and Taylor had gone the results looked inevitable. We put

yourself in a good position to go on and get 340 but we continued to lose

wickets. Today it did not work even though the guys did the right thing.

You're always in with a shout close to 300. England outplayed us today.

It was tough out there. Credit to the way they went about their

business especially with ball in hand. They did not give us a lot.

They deserve everything they get today. That is the game. It wakes

you up a little bit. It was a little bit up and down. I probably did not

watch the ball as hard as I should. All the batsmen came in and said it

was a little way. We used a lot of crossed theme and variations today.

The bowlers did outstandingly well. A maximum four points in those two

games puts England in pole position in group a and their last spot is

now guaranteed. To have any chance of progressing New Zealand must beat

Bangladesh in Cardiff on Friday and await the result of the England

match with Australia the following day.

it makes no difference whether you watch my show or not.
