00:00It's a beautiful day here in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga for this match
00:04between New Zealand and England, the first of three Wanda Internationals in the
00:08Chemist Warehouse Series. So good to have some fine weather. The toss has been made
00:15and New Zealand won that toss and chose to field first to bowl at this very
00:20very powerful England batting line-up which is effectively a test match
00:24batting line-up. I have Shane Bond beside me right now and Shane yeah I think
00:29you're a little bit surprised with this decision. I'm a little bit surprised I
00:33think yeah for me I would have probably got out there and batted first. The wicker
00:36looks pretty good I think it's gonna get cool tonight and the ball might deck
00:41around a little bit more and it would suggest here that it's a very high
00:43scoring ground batting first. I guess it's a thing with this English line-up
00:47they're going to go they're gonna go out there and they're gonna throw a bat at
00:49ball they do it in all forms. I mean the top six are all test players but they'll
00:52probably bat the same way and test as they will apply themselves to this one
00:56day game it's a chance to get. Bowled him straight through what a start wow-wee! How about that for Matt Henry!
01:08He's just hit a nondescript sort of length a nice walk. Not quite a crisis yet, not a bad man.
01:15He just takes, kind of bowled a perfect delivery there. Henry gets enough on it to get England and himself.
01:24Oh that's a beauty again there is some movement here without a doubt. Henry is on to it.
01:29No one moves away. Two for one. I think this is a good move. It's taken! Yes, that's a goodie!
01:44Latham committed he didn't get it perfectly but he did it well enough and that is the
01:50perfect line and length for folks. That's a brilliant piece of bowling. Jacob Bethel comes out.
01:56Or whether there's some rebuilding required and they'll acknowledge the situation. Here are the...
02:11Got him! They got another one! That one straight through Roode. He's got Roode too. New Zealand on fire.
02:16There's movement out there and New Zealand are using it. England struggling to deal with it.
02:21Mary Brooke. There's plenty on offer isn't there for the New Zealand bowlers.
02:33Oh, use the feet. And this should be the first boundary. It does rocket over this very fast turf here.
02:51Positive from Brock. He will look...
02:58Ten for three.
03:00Oh, how good! How good is that from folks? Oh, it's trouble now for England. They're four down in no time.
03:10Look at this Joss Butler who has...
03:17In the air! Nearly taken a despairing dive at square leg. It was in the air for some time.
03:24It'll dribble into the boundary and it was not convincing.
03:29Well, you have a look at the guard of Joss Butler. He bets on middle stump. And as an in-swing bowler, you like...
03:39It's a straight delivery and it was a half volley really. This one has been pumped down to the long-on boundary for four.
03:46Just a rear miss on length for Matt Henry. And now on the charge. Hits high up on the splice. An acknowledgement for Harry Brooke who goes past.
03:58It's full again. And this one goes the other side of the wicket. Brooke to long off. Four more. A couple of very nice strokes from the England captain.
04:09Last bit of the over. Just a touch straight. Like a leg by. We'll wait for the umpire's grip. He uses for that wobble.
04:16Oh, hello! That has been sent. That has gone out of the ground by Harry Brooke. Said he was going to play his shots.
04:26That's sent away. And this one, more of that prodigious swing that Zac Fawkes has been able to get.
04:32So he's got the wobble seam delivery. And then that...
04:36On the drive. That's beautifully played too. Full face of the bats. Another boundary to Harry Brooke.
04:44It's taken! Good catch. Diving away. Tom Latham does it again.
04:49Joss Butler has not looked comfortable out there. Only eight.
04:57England has found itself in this situation.
04:59Most out of the seam of the two opening bowlers. And there's another example of it from Henry.
05:03Folks has been all about the swing today.
05:06That's a big shout. Big shout. Sean Haig says no. What will they do?
05:12Difficult delivery to finish the over. It's a wicket made in for Henry. 33 for...
05:24Swinging in. But maybe just started a touch straight. And that'll go all the way for four.
05:28Despite the best intentions of Jacob.
05:31Still up inside the circle. And Brooke has gone for this one.
05:34Tonked it over mid-wicket. That'll be another six.
05:37That's another wide. Just a...
05:47There's that little step again. Just across his stumps. Plays it down. To middle.
05:54I would say that. He takes that as a very high compliment indeed.
05:59As Sam Curran gets his first boundary of the match. Beautifully played again. Just slightly over-pitched.
06:04Rebuild this innings. Rebuild without a foundation. Never an easy task.
06:11Happy to let that one go to the keeper. Sam Curran. That's the end of the 11th.
06:19That is a shot. It's square. It does not get much better in terms of timing than that.
06:27From personal experience. That's not the most convincing shot he's played today.
06:34Positions are plenty for folks. And there it is. He's got another.
06:39That's number four. Sam Curran. He's gone for six. The matchup has worked.
06:46It's good captaincy. It's outstanding. Just keep coming for New Zealand. Jamie Overton.
06:53Good shape back in again. Overton's going to have to be watchful here. That is for sure.
06:59That's it.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Yeah.
07:03Well lovely strike down the ground.
07:05Leans into that one. Finds the middle of the bat finally.
07:08It's a strong hit.
07:11No rod.
07:1213 gone 65 for six
