11.6 a huge shout and that's gone! Flintoff has struck first over with a 90mph (145kmh) which attacks along an off-stump line and takes a fine edge through to Nixon, Fleming's feet trapped in the crease. Big blow for New Zealand, just as their captain was starting to get going 37/2

1.5 he's gone this time! Anderson softened him up with the previous delivery and Astle jabs once more at this one which is pitched up, but this time a straightforward edge flies into the hands of Collingwood at second slip who makes no mistake. Good bowling from Anderson, poor shot from Astle 5/1

18.2 ah, gone this time. Floated just outside off stump, a slower ball, offspinner and the batsman played too early, spooning a simple catch to Collingwood at backward point. Good response from Lewis but New Zealand's sliver of momentum has been punctured again. Much rests on Taylor's shoulders now 55/3

23.4 Panesar strikes! Good take at slip, snapped to his right, with Taylor trying to stroke that through cover, reaching for the ball. Monty's the fourth England bowler to take a wicket in his first over and there's a mire with New Zealand's name on it 67/5

20.4 huge shout and plumb, McMillan playing all round one which angles back in ever-so-slightly. That would have taken middle about halfway up the stump. Collingwood strikes in his first over, good decision from Flintoff to bring him on 61/4

46.3 bowled him! Cleans up McCullum with one which takes a big inside edge and crashes right onto the stumps. So McCullum made 30, but they weren't comfortable runs by any stretch. Nevertheless he and Oram's stand has been invaluable in turning round this innings 187/6

6.2 wide half volley angled across the right hander, a rather loose flash and a thick edge is well held at chest height by Fleming at first slip ... Fleming makes a sarcastic appeal to the umpire and who can blame him ... 21/1

33.2 inside edge and Nixon goes! Nixon stands there in disbelief, but there was a definite noise as it brushes the inside edge on the way through to McCullum and that's 100 ODI wickets for Oram. Will this be the turning point of the match? 107/6
