Over-by-over report: England take on New Zealand at the Gabba in a match vital for their T20 World Cup fortunes. Join Geoff Lemon for updates.

9th over: New Zealand 62-2 (Williamson 27, Phillips 14) Set and forget for Liam Livingstone: just keeps bowling fast and on a length, and Williamson and Phillips keep getting on the front foot to tap a run or two to the off side. So a good score for England, but they didn’t take advantage of the start that Buttler and Hales gave them. Allen is the player who can carve off a huge chunk of a chase in quick time, and he’s gone for relatively few. Fast and skiddy and tight on the stumps, and mostly a bit short, drawing plenty of cut shots. 13th over: New Zealand 96-2 (Williamson 37, Phillips 36) A few sneaky bonus runs for New Zealand: they run on a wide, then get an overthrow from a direct hit at the non-striker’s end. Still, only four off the over, and New Zealand have batted themselves into a hole. As Rashid goes fuller to compensate, and Phillips drops to one knee and pulverises it into the stands. And for the first time tonight, he follows up a hit with another. Phillips with 62 from 36 did his best to repair the damage, and Williamson did a job in going with him, but with 40 from 40 he needed to push the accelerator himself a bit harder. He misses the first one and pulls a single from the second, leaving Santner needing to hit the last four balls for six to go… Brandishes the ball to the crowd! 15th over: New Zealand 123-3 (Phillips 56, Neesham 4) First ball to the middle, last ball of the over, and Neesham pulls it for four!

Openers Buttler and Hales have started on the right note at the Gabba.

Even against New Zealand there was a rain threat, which has stayed away to give Jos Buttler’s team some hope and the change of fortunes might well work in England’s favour. None of the pacers have made any impact for New Zealand, while the spinners have bowled five of the eight overs already, which could be an issue in the final 10 overs for the Black Caps. The ball is gripping a lot on this weary, slow surface and the New Zealand spinners have bowled at the right areas to halt the progress of the England batters. Opener Hales reached his 11th Twenty20 International half-century off 40 balls and was stumped off the next ball, trying to force the pace, giving Santner the first wicket of the match and New Zealand the breakthrough. New Zealand need a good start to chase the target and should not lose any early wicket as the openers are the key for the Kiwis. The England skipper celebrated his second chance with two fours off Ferguson and now will be difficult to stop him from demolishing the New Zealand bowlers. England with eight wickets in hand going hard at the New Zealand bowling, 27 runs coming in the last two overs. Two wickets in the last two overs, that of Jimmy Nesham and Daryl Mitchell, with just an addition of 8 runs is making it difficult for New Zealand and now Phillps has a mountain to climb in the company of Santner. Buttler employing the pace of Wood is playing into Phillips hands as the New Zealander likes the ball to come on to the bat fast and quick. Black Caps must be banking the power-hitters, Allen, Phillips, who scored a chancy century against Sri Lanka and Neesham to do the bulk of the scoring, but that will only help England and the mounting asking rate will put more pressure on the rest against a menacing England bowling on a sticky wicket that assists the bowlers. The tearaway pace will be difficult in the final five overs, that’s where New Zealand pulled England back. The England pacers then tightened their grip and kept getting wickets as the new batters failed to get the timing on a slow wicket.
