England vs New Zealand, 49th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y1 v Y2), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - HighlightsENG vs NZ, 49th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y1 v Y2), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Rehan Ahmed to Mitchell Santner, SIX, oh a great lofted off-drive to clear the rope but Santner slams the bat onto the ground because he knows his side has left at least 10 runs due to poor shot selection. He is livid with himself for not trying to play over the off-side because the googly was telegraphed to spin past the left-hander

Rehan Ahmed to McConchie, out Bowled!! McConchie steps out to slog and misses another one, this time the stumps are disturbed. Ran down the pitch, ran past the ball and ran to the dressing room. Rehan Ahmed just got that leggie to turn away. Pitched middle and leg and hit middle and off. McConchie b Rehan Ahmed 14(12) [4s-2]

Rehan Ahmed to McConchie, FOUR, oh he's just chipped a low full toss to long-on for a single. Oh dear, Banton has let that go right through his hands. Tried to collect that on the bounce around head height, seemed like it skidded after pitch but no excuses there

Will Jacks to McConchie, FOUR, a lovely sweep shot with one knee on the ground. Let this ball turn into him and swept it behind the square. Rolled the wrists to keep it along the ground and found the gap

Will Jacks to Glenn Phillips, out Bowled!! Loopy, teasing him and got him. This is a big dent from Will Jacks. He put on a bold face to toss this up right in the slot. Phillips felt he could have a mighty heave across the line but Jacks was clever is giving this a lot more air. Phillips lost the shape on the slog and missed it completely to make a mess of the stumps. Phillips gestures he should have gone straighter. He was too far away to the leg-side as he originally wanted to hit straight or off-side and then decided to play leg-side. Glenn Phillips b Will Jacks 39(28) [4s-4 6s-1]

Liam Dawson to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Will Jacks!! And when he tries to, he holes out to long-off. Mitchell at No. 6? Are New Zealand really sure about this? He walks back disappointed as he felt this was a slot ball to be put away. Was a bit too full in the end and he couldn't get enough power behind the loft and long-off hardly had to move. Caught it well inside the rope. New Zealand have only scored 10 runs in the last 16 balls. Daryl Mitchell c Will Jacks b Liam Dawson 3(8)

Adil Rashid to Mark Chapman, out Stumped!! He's slowed it up to beat Chapman in the flight. Chapman rushed out of the crease for a launch over long-on. Slower through the air so Chapman was early into the shot, bottom hand came off and the body wasn't there as a second line of defence. One of the very easy stumpings for Jos Buttler. Rashid fist pumps to celebrate this wicket. Give him a pitch with some bite and he springs to life. Mark Chapman st Jos Buttler b Adil Rashid 15(9) [4s-2]

Liam Dawson to Mark Chapman, FOUR, steps out and whips it off his pads over midwicket. A couple of boundaries already for Chapman at the start of his innings

Liam Dawson to Mark Chapman, FOUR, Salt is standing well inside the ropes at deep midwicket because of the long boundary there. This has gone over his head and landed inside the ropes. Flat on leg, back of a length, and it's pulled crisply by Chapman

Rehan Ahmed to Glenn Phillips, FOUR, he has been severe whenever the spinners have missed their lengths. Floated up too full, Phillips gets forward and hammers it straight back

Rehan Ahmed to Mark Chapman, 1 run, flat-batted down to long-on

Rehan Ahmed to Rachin Ravindra, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Rehan Ahmed strikes with his first ball of the tournament! Starts with a googly from over the wicket, it's dragged down short and Ravindra tries to capitalise with the pull shot. It probably held up in the pitch and turned more than he expected. Miscues it off the toe-end to deep midwicket. Rachin Ravindra c Jacob Bethell b Rehan Ahmed 11(13) [4s-1]

Jacob Bethell to Glenn Phillips, FOUR, has missed his length twice and both times has been punished! Overpitched at the stumps, Phillips drills it down the ground and there's no chance for long-off or long-on

Jacob Bethell to Rachin Ravindra, FOUR, poor start from Bethell, offers a juicy full toss outside off and Ravindra smashes it down the ground

Will Jacks to Glenn Phillips, FOUR, no slip in place and it runs away off the edge! Going on with the arm from round the wicket, Phillips tries punching from the crease and is undone by the lack of turn

Adil Rashid to Glenn Phillips, FOUR, slow on a good length, sits up for Phillips who hangs back and pulls hard through midwicket. His lower center of gravity was helpful in getting that away

Adil Rashid to Glenn Phillips, SIX, no-look six from Phillips! Googly floated up on off, it's right in the slot and he whacks it with the turn over midwicket

Will Jacks to Finn Allen, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Both openers gone in consecutive overs after the powerplay. Such a soft dismissal this one. It's tossed up on leg, Allen flicks it in the air and it's straight to deep midwicket. Did the ball hold up on him? Has to be the case because there's no other explanation about what he was trying to do. Finn Allen c Jacob Bethell b Will Jacks 29(19) [6s-3]

Adil Rashid to Tim Seifert, out Stumped!! This is such clever bowling from Rashid. Much slower through the air as he loops it above the eyeline. Gets sharp dip and turn, lures Seifert out of the crease as he tries to go for another big shot, and then has him stumped. His back foot is on the line when the bails are dislodged. Seifert actually started to walk before it was even sent upstairs. Gave the impression that he was well outside the crease. Was closer than he thought. Tim Seifert st Jos Buttler b Adil Rashid 35(25) [4s-3 6s-2]

Adil Rashid to Tim Seifert, SIX, not much elevation but manages to clear long-on! Floated up outside off, he reaches out and nails the slog-sweep hard and flat. Went like a rocket over the ropes

Sam Curran to Finn Allen, SIX, another moon ball and it gets hammered! Floated up on the pads, right in the slot and Allen belts it hard over midwicket with plenty of bottom hand power

Jofra Archer to Tim Seifert, SIX, absolutely nailed! Dug in short, Seifert is in position quickly and pulls it well in front of square. Flies into the crowd over midwicket

Jofra Archer to Tim Seifert, FOUR, he's now getting a move on! Had a tough time earlier against Archer but is now getting stuck into him. Short of length in the channel, he goes flat-batted and slaps it over mid-off

Jofra Archer to Tim Seifert, FOUR, phew what a shot! Full outside off, he throws his bat at it, not much footwork but it doesn't matter. Comes right off the middle as he smokes it over cover

Liam Dawson to Finn Allen, SIX, gets hold of this one! Dances down, Dawson follows him into the pads but Allen still manages to loft it down the ground. Didn't go hard, just chipped it through the line and the timing was excellent

Jofra Archer to Finn Allen, SIX, the slower ball disappears! 127kph, leg-cutter floated up in the slot and Allen lofts it over mid-on. Doubt we'll see any more slower ones from Archer in the powerplay

Liam Dawson to Tim Seifert, FOUR, the reverse-sweep didn't work so he brings out the conventional sweep. Steps across the stumps, it's floated up around off and he deliberately lofts it over backward square

Jofra Archer to Tim Seifert, no run, immediate review from Seifert after being given out caught behind! Sharp nip-backer, he goes for the drive but it bursts through him on the way to the keeper. Clearly has missed the inside edge. The noise came as it clipped the back thigh on the way, and ball-tracking says it's easily going over the stumps
