    It's now less than a run-a-ball. Rehan Ahmed was willing to take the risk from the last ball of the over.

    It's going to go... SAILING OVER FOR SIX!

    Suddenly, England need five from six balls. Out of nowhere!

    Crazy stuff.

    Need five runs from six balls

    Smacked over long-off and just clearing the fielder on the rope. Rehan Ahmed!

    16 off the over. Rehan Ahmed has 18 off six balls.

    England need FIVE RUNS off the final over.

  4. Eng 148-6published at 18.4 overs

    Good running! Will Jacks and Rehan Ahmed come through for a pair of twos, the latter sneaking back to the non-striker's end in the nick of time on both occasions.

    Runs are coming left, right and centre here!

    Losing that wicket has helped England. How often can you say that?

    Rehan Ahmed has injected a little bit of life and a little bit of freedom.

    It's four more. Goodness me. Suddenly a hopeless cause is right back on for England.

  10. Eng 139-6published at 18 overs

    Need 21 runs from 12 balls

    22 runs off the over, finished with six, four, four from the bat of Will Jacks.

    With 21 needed from 12 balls, who's winning this? Thumbs up for England. Thumbs down for New Zealand.

    Here we go, start the car - it's about to get fun!

    It's time for England to accelerate. That's a massive shot by Will Jacks.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 125-6published at 17.4 overs

    And another one! This time from Will Jacks, clearing the fielder on the deep mid-wicket boundary.

    Glenn Phillips has his hands on his head.

    England need 29 off 14. Surely not?

    Rehan Ahmed has hit that miles up in the air... and miles back as well!

    That's why he wins range-hitting contests.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 124-6published at 17.2 overs

    That's a bit of a statement from Rehan Ahmed! A two-step gallop down and smacks Glenn Phillips into the stands. Distance, altitude, the works.

    Ravindra ends with 3-19 off four. He's more than a part-timer but he's been slightly flattered by those figures.

    Need 43 runs in 18 balls

    Another good over from Rachin Ravindra. Just three from it.

    The required run rate has climbed above 14.

    Ravindra has a wicket with an absolute pie.

    To the short side, you can see why Banton was aiming at that. It was a poor ball.

    Banton c Chapman b Ravindra 33 (Eng 117-6)

    It's a pretty nothing ball from Rachin Ravindra, a hint of turn, but Tom Banton can only send it down the throat of Mark Chapman at deep mid-wicket.

    Ravindra has three wickets. Banton is out for 33 (24).

    Here comes Rehan Ahmed.

  19. Eng 116-5published at 16.2 overs

    Ohhhh that was a dicey single from Tom Banton.

    Will Jacks, coming from the non-striker's end, could have been run-out but the throw into wicketkeeper Tim Seifert wasn't a kind one. He tried to take it on his left side, around shoulder height, but missed the ball and knocks the bails off with his hands. I think Jacks was home.

  20. Eng 114-5published at 16 overs

    Need 46 runs off 24 balls

    An expensive over from Ish Sodhi. 14 from it, including a four and a six.

    Tom Banton has 32 (22), Will Jacks has 6 (6), England need 46 runs in 24 balls.
