- Live updates from the 10pm GMT start in Christchurch
51st over: New Zealand 166-6 (Smith 10, Mitchell 32) The dangerous Brydon Carse bounds in like a hungry panther. Smith pings him for two consecutive fours, one guided cleverly between slip and gully.
50th over: New Zealand 157-6 (Smith 2, Mitchell 32) Stokes starts with a loosener as the Barmy Army riff through a full-throated Jerusalem. Stokes’ hair is Compton Brylcreem with touch of mullet. A couple of singles gets the Kiwis up and running.
