New Zealand v England photos

Alastair Cook has an early moment of anxiety, but England's run-out horror stories do not return on this occasion

Kyle Mills may not have attracted the bidders at the Indian Premier League but he takes the first England wicket

Jesse Ryder lends his formidable frame to the New Zealand fielding cause as the Kiwis restrict England

Ian Bell suffers with the slow surface and this delivery strikes the middle of his chest rather than his bat

Umpire Asad Rauf watches New Zealand paceman Chris Martin take off en route to the crease

The ebullient Luke Wright gets England's stuttering innings back on track with some fine hitting

Typically swashbuckling hitting from Dimi Mascarenhas bring England 22 in the last over and a total of 242

New Zealand reply in kind, Brendon McCullum blazing five fours and six sixes in 77 off 43 balls

Paul Collingwood eventually removes the dangerous Kiwi and Ryan Sidebottom weighs in with three wickets

And then the rain comes with New Zealand seemingly on target to victory in the decisive one dayer
