New Zealand v England - England tour of New Zealand - 2nd T20I – New Zealand post 192 - Live Score and Update
New Zealand 192/6 - England won the toss and chose to field
In the second T20I between hosts New Zealand and tourists England, the Black Caps have managed to post a decent score of 192 runs for the loss of six wickets at Seddon Park, Hamilton.
England won the toss and elected to field, however, they were hammered by New Zealand openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Guptill-c1980 and HD Rutherford for 75 runs. With an opening stand like this, New Zealand were in the driving seat now.
This partnership met its demise on the wicket of HD Rutherford, who succumbed against Wright after bolstering an impressive knock of 40 runs.
The second-wicket partnership between Guptill and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129 continued the batting onslaught, taking the score to 105, before the opener perished against Tredwell with 47 runs to his name.
McCullum was then joined by his former skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849, but this partnership failed to prosper as the latter perished after playing a small knock of four runs off six deliveries. At the time of this dismissal, New Zealand were sitting with 124 runs on
the board.
After a commendable start, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 were now under pressure as England bowlers had managed to squeeze the flow of runs.
With 139 on the board, the English grabbed their fifth wicket of the day on the dismissal of C Munro, who could score only seven runs before hitting the showers.
The skipper was fast loosing partners at the other end as England had managed to make a comeback.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GD-Elliott-c1476 was the next casualty as he had his stumps obliterated by Dernbach after scoring only four runs.
With 154 on the board and five wickets down, New Zealand were in turmoil and had no clue how to counter a very potent English bowling offensive.
Finally McCullum, after playing a staggering knock of 74 runs, was dismissed by Dernbach, leaving his side on 188.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JEC-Franklin-c1684 unbeaten on six runs off four deliveries, New Zealand finished their innings with a disappointing end to a great start.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 now need to play sensible cricket in order to reach the target without hassle.
