00:00Welcome wherever you're watching in the world to this first KFC T20 International
00:04between New Zealand and England from Hagley Park in Christchurch. A sellout
00:10Hagley Park really is one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world.
00:15Once again we're set to renew this rivalry between New Zealand and England.
00:20England well they're batting first after New Zealand won the toss it's a really
00:25lovely team a blend of youth and experience. Salton Butler at the top
00:29well they're one of the best opening combinations in the world. Banton I'm
00:32looking forward to seeing him bat in the middle order and a bowling attack that is
00:35based around the very skillful leg spin of Adal Rashid. It's a very strong batting
00:41lineup with Liam Dawson coming in.
00:46Oh it skews away off the outside edge straight away.
00:51A little bit of life there for Matt Henry.
00:57On the march straight away.
01:04Oh that's fine the way. Not out of the middle but it's gone all the way.
01:11Not a bad way at all to get yourself off the mark if you're Joss Butler.
01:16Soft on top.
01:18Oh and doesn't quite carry through. Diving away Tim Seifert.
01:25No! No no no no no no!
01:27Well chance if he hits. Only had the one stump to aim at though.
01:32Of course back here Monday night for game two of this.
01:37Sky might have found some empty space. Chapman coming in takes a great catch diving forward.
01:43New Zealand with the first one on the board.
01:52Can't sneak it past.
01:58Oh and there's a little excitement from the bowler.
02:05Well that's not a bad strike. We've talked up the bowling.
02:08They're only fair to talk up the batting on that one.
02:10Has absolutely launched it.
02:13Well there's that pull shot you were talking about.
02:17Shane Bond it's back to back boundaries now.
02:20Yeah Duffy goes pace on again.
02:22Drive here.
02:24Goes pace off to finish the over off.
02:27It's a good one for England.
02:29Skies it up into the night sky.
02:34And Henry settling underneath it and takes it.
02:37Big breakthrough for New Zealand.
02:40Oh and a shout to start it's on the pad.
02:47It's a huge appeal from Matt Henry.
02:51He has gone dashing down to Tim Seifert to give him any support.
02:58Oh there's a run there.
03:10Gets it over the leg side.
03:11Timing's good enough as well.
03:12Gets up on the breeze.
03:14Skips away.
03:17Oh and he's welcomed into the attack.
03:19Clipped away leg side.
03:21One bounce for four.
03:26Just like that.
03:27That's clever.
03:28Really clever.
03:29Uses all the pace.
03:30All the bounce.
03:31Back to back boundaries to start the over off.
03:50Tries to get after him.
03:55Straight away.
03:56They stand and deliver from Harry Brook.
04:02Yeah Jimmy Nisham is coming to the team.
04:08On the back of.
04:13Beautiful.
04:17Harry Brook moving around the crease.
04:19Nisham tries to follow him.
04:20All he does is end up.
04:21That one's up on the bank too.
04:26Oh and he's got him.
04:27He's picked him up.
04:28Little bit of luck.
04:29Inside edge.
04:30Onto the pad.
04:31Onto the stumps.
04:32Jimmy Nisham.
04:33The golden arm strikes once again.
04:36Does it so much.
04:37Jimmy Nisham always seems to take big wicker.
04:40It's not just picking up the wickers.
04:47Frank here to go deep.
04:52Good over once again from Mitch Sandler.
04:54Just the four coming from it.
04:57No.
04:58Thomas Bondi here mate.
05:00When you come out and bat on a free.
05:04Just.
05:05Just sneaks that one over the top.
05:08There's Tom Benton.
05:10Timmy Robertson just mentioned a half ollie is a half ollie.
05:15That's what Jimmy Nisham dished up here with mid off art.
05:20Oh no.
05:22Yeah I think so.
05:23I think.
05:24When the surface is doing a little bit and assisting.
05:27Assisting.
05:29Oh hi.
05:31Nisham trying to settle under it.
05:33Gets himself sorted and some fancy footwork along the boundary rope.
05:37And the first ball back after the drinks break.
05:40The skipper.
05:41He gets himself one in the wickets column.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Well Tom Benton trying to be the agree.
06:00That's perhaps a little bit.
06:02Right there.
06:04All that.
06:07Poor chance.
06:09A dangerous game running off the miss field.
06:11Strikes they high.
06:13It hangs in the air.
06:14Well taken.
06:15The safe hands once again.
06:17Matt Henry.
06:18Spin at both ends.
06:19Working a treat here for New Zealand.
06:21We said that he has success to this ground.
06:22And that's a huge record.
06:23The record of Josh Butler.
06:24The miss field from Colt.
06:25hands working a treat here for new zealand he said that he has success to this ground and
06:31that's a huge record the record of josh butler the miss field from colt good leading edge
06:42that's always fascinating
06:49if the new zealand bowlers would have had a blueprint and they're changing with what they want
06:55it struck it over 150 he was named a pca means cricketer of the year just last week
07:06i think i say liam liverson had quite a huge role
07:12a little bit of luck swinging hard
07:17a lot of effort to get a single to get down the other end but you'd like to think
07:21the other end of the year just haven't been able to get him away that is looks
07:30and then you get pace on and you pick out the man in the ring
07:36i think it's a good piece of that one gets it over jimmy neesham as well
07:41that's what he's been trying to avoid mitch center but he just gets that little bit full gets in
07:45it might make the batting conditions a little bit easier ball comes on a little bit nicer slides on
07:57say jacob duffy they're holding the seam
08:01well that's clever that is
08:05a little bit of courage shown by jordan cox and he gets all of it
08:08it's there oh and a little miss down the leg side
08:16off the pad but it'll run away for four lead buys
08:22well it's worked all right this time for england it's the low full toss and dispatches it for four
08:27that one into the night sky daryl mitchell settling underneath it he takes it good safe pair of hands
08:42it's not a wicket first ball after the break but it's second ball
08:45oh slice his way pace on it's a boundary to start the over off
08:57with the sam current is feeding and that's actually hitting into the teeth of the breeze
09:03it's probably a little unfair on jordan cox that's almost a half volley isn't it you'd expect any better at the backing
