ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Sam Curran to Santner, 1 run, that's a comfortable 20-run win for England! Up goes Curran in celebrations as soon as he nails another yorker. Santner can do nothing more than squeezing this to long-on for nor more than a single. Handshakes between the players as they start walking back towards the dressing room

ENG 159/6 (20)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Woakes to Santner, SIX, short ball by Woakes and Santner manages to middle his flat-batted shot this time around. The timing was good enough as it clears the fielder at long-on. NZ need 26 runs off the final over

ENG 154/6 (19)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Sam Curran to Glenn Phillips, out Caught by (sub)Jordan!! Even the set batter is gone! Glenn Phillips stands there in disbelief staring at the bottom end of his willow, because he hadn't middled this one. Glenn Phillips c (sub)Jordan b Sam Curran 62(36) [4s-4 6s-3]

ENG 135/6 (17.3)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Woakes to Mitchell, out Caught by (sub) Jordan!! Another one bites the dust. The procession of wickets continues as the NZ power-hitters are not able to clear the big boundaries at the Gabba! Was a length delivery by Woakes and Mitchell tried to take him on. Mitchell c (sub)Jordan b Woakes 3(5)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Mark Wood to Neesham, out Caught by Sam Curran!! England striking back with regular wickets. That was banged in short by Mark Wood and it was a quicker delivery. Neesham goes for a pull off his back foot, and ends up getting a top edge to deep square leg. Sam Curran in the deep moves to his left and takes a safe catch to send the dangerous batter - Neesham back to the pavilion. But Phillips is still out there, so NZ do have a chance. Neesham c Sam Curran b Mark Wood 6(3) [4s-1]

ENG 126/4 (16)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Stokes to Williamson, out Caught by Adil Rashid!! And the partnership has been broken. Was a short ball around middle and leg, was slower too. And Williamson who looks to play a cut shot, ends up getting an outside edge that flies straight to Rashid at short third man. Williamson c Adil Rashid b Stokes 40(40) [4s-3]

ENG 123/3 (15)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Adil Rashid to Glenn Phillips, SIX, Glenn Phillips is targetting Adil Rashid. Making the most of that dropped chance. This was slightly fuller and Glenn Phillips goes down on his knee to slogsweep this over deep mid-wicket for a 100 metre six. Rashid under pressure after those back-to-back sixes

Adil Rashid to Glenn Phillips, SIX, 100 up for New Zealand with a six! A googly by Adil Rashid, way too short though. Glenn Phillips rocks back in the crease and pulls it over deep square leg for a massive six. Way back into the stands

ENG 113/2 (14)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Sam Curran to Glenn Phillips, 2 runs, way too short around middle, Glenn Phillips pulls this to Stokes on a bounce. And he is quick to get rid of the ball as well, however, the throw at the bowler's end isn't an accurate one, and that allows the batter to come back for two. Stokes wasn't in control while he went for the throw

ENG 96/2 (13)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Mark Wood to Glenn Phillips, SIX, that's a fantastic shot by Glenn Phillips! Mark Wood goes full and quick on middle and leg, and Glenn Phillips stands tall and times his flick over wide long-on for a 94 metre maximum. That was a six the moment it left his bat

ENG 86/2 (12)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Over Summary (6-10)
>> Wood concedes 12 but he bowled a few rockets
>> Phillips keeps the boundaries coming
>> Williamson going less than run-a-ball
>> Finally a boundary to Williamson, just his second
>> Moeen drops Phillips on 15, Rashid the unlucky bowler

ENG 66/2 (10)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Livingstone to Williamson, FOUR, fine effort by Brook at wide long-off, puts in a dive, but fails to stop the boundary.

ENG 47/2 (7)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Mark Wood to Glenn Phillips, FOUR, streaky and four, sheer pace from Wood, bowled at 155 kmph, burst through at Phillips who was clearly late in getting forward, squirts a thick inside edge past the leg-stump and runs away to the ropes

ENG 40/2 (6)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

>> Curran strikes in his first over and sends back Allen

ENG 28/2 (5)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Woakes to Williamson, FOUR, nicely played, a filthy dragdown from Woakes - short and at KW's hips, he shuffles across, uses the pace on the ball and pulls it backward of square on the on-side for a boundary, 12 from the over as NZ's chase gets some impetus

ENG 26/1 (4)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Adil Rashid to Finn Allen, 3 runs, nicely played, flighted delivery around middle and leg - Williamson bent down low, reversed the stance and then swept it square past point, was to the shorter boundary and it's hauled back with a chase, back for the third though

ENG 14/1 (3)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Moeen Ali to Conway, no run, the slider now - went straight on and caught Conway on the forward slid, gets a thick inside edge onto the pad

Moeen Ali to Conway, no run, the slider now - went straight on and caught Conway on the forward slid, gets a thick inside edge onto the pad

ENG 4/0 (1)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Ferguson to Malan, 3 runs, this is good running and England finish with 179. Full and at the stumps, Malan gets his left leg out and flicked it in front of square on the on-side, they were always coming back for the second, but Sam Curran spots a slight fumble and races back for the third. Malan was struggling, but the throw went to the wrong end

ENG 179/6 (20)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Southee to Stokes, out Buttler Run Out!! Sharp work all around, have New Zealand got rid of Buttler? He was scarmbling back and slid into the crease, has the dive saved him? No, it hasn't, he's OUT and that'll cost England a few more runs. Short of a good length and just outside off - Stokes backed away and slapped it straight to KW at extra-cover, Buttler was backing up for a single and is sent back, sharp throw and an equally good collection from Southee, turned around and broke the stumps, finding Buttler well short. Buttler run out (Williamson/Southee) 73(47) [4s-7 6s-2]

ENG 162/5 (18.4)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Southee to Harry Brook, out Caught by Finn Allen!! SIX and OUT for Brook - Southee kept it very full and just outside off - pace off on the delivery and Brook couldn't get underneath the lofted drive, plenty of height and no real distance - Allen settled under, kept his eyes on the ball and scooped up the catch. Harry Brook c Finn Allen b Southee 7(3) [6s-1]

ENG 160/4 (18.2)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Ferguson to Livingstone, out Bowled!! Ferguson keeps his wits about, keeps it full and straight - Livingstone shuffled across once again, tried playing the scoop and missed, crashed into the middle and leg-stump, the zing bails light up and Livingstone's cameo comes to an end. A handy innings though, has provided some impetus to this England innings. Livingstone b Ferguson 20(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

ENG 153/3 (17.4)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Boult to Livingstone, 2 runs, Boult goes full and wide of off, carved away over cover and Livingstone is back for the second - 11 from the over

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Boult returns. Boult comes around the wicket and slides the ball in and Buttler whacks it over long-on for FOUR. Slower-ball on length and Buttler nimbly pulls it behind square for another FOUR.

Ish Sodhi to Buttler, 1 run, very full and wide of off, Buttler reaches out as the ball dipped and then places the drive wide of mid-off, gets to his 18th T20I half-century

ENG 110/2 (14)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Santner to Hales, out Stumped!! Fifty and gone. Santner is such a smart operator. He saw Hales charge down the wicket and slowed up this delivery, also threw it wide of off-stump and Hales was not able to reach it, the ball spins away as well and Conway does the rest behind the stumps. The partnership has been broken and England might not mind this. It will bring their left handers in against Santner and Sodhi. Hales st Conway b Santner 52(40) [4s-7 6s-1]

ENG 85/1 (11)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Santner to Hales, 2 runs, throws it up wider of off-stump, Hales drives past a diving cover and picks up a brace

ENG 67/0 (9)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Ish Sodhi to Buttler, no run, turn for Sodhi. Buttler wanted to work it into the leg-side but the leading edge rolls to backward point, he wanted the single but Hales is quick to send him back. Tidy start from Sodhi

ENG 61/0 (8)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Ferguson to Buttler, SIX, 148ks on this delivery and Buttler makes use of that pace, he moves acrosss his stumps and laps it to fine leg, it is the pace of Ferguson that takes the ball over the rope

ENG 58/0 (7)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Southee to Hales, SIX, shot! Hales charges down and gives himself room, Southee shortened the length but Hales still managed to free his hands and flat-bats it over mid-on, right off the meat and hence goes the distance

ENG 40/0 (5)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Santner into the attack. Santner cramps up Hales with a tight line around the middle-stump. Three dots and Hales gets off strike with a leg-bye.

ENG 21/0 (3)

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Boult to Hales, FOUR, streaky! That was close to leg-stump. Full and swinging back in, Hales aims to drive without accounting for the inward movement, squirts an inside edge and escapes by a whisker

ENG 9/0 (1)

New Zealand (Playing XI): Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

England vs New Zealand Live Updates: Key Players

Jos Buttler: England’s opener has put down consistently excellent numbers since settling at the top of the order. 

Devon Conway: Conway shattered plenty of records during his unbeaten 92 against Australia in the Super 12 round opener.

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

New Zealand came into this World Cup on the back of losing a home tri-series to Pakistan. They once again flew under the radar but come the opening game against Australia, they showed how dangerous they're in this competition. Their next game versus Afghanistan was a washout but they kept the winning run going by brushing aside Sri Lanka. England have been England; they came into this event as favorites but lost to Ireland in a rain-affected encounter and with their game against Australia being abandoned, they find themselves in a must-win situation. Both teams have a settled playing XI and unless the conditions demand a change there won't be any.

Toss and teams coming up once the first game is done.. Stay tuned

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

Unlike the other surfaces and conditions in Australia, the Gabba has not shown overt assistance for the seamers vis-a-vis swing or movement off the pitch in a couple of games so far. But Australia changed that narrative a little in the game against Ireland, where Mitchell Starc got the ball to move in the air. If similar conditions welcome the two teams on Tuesday, Trent Boult (6 wickets, ER 6.17) and Tim Southee (4 wiickets, ER 2.92), who have been pivotal to New Zealand's World Cup campaign, will be key once again.

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

The last time England and New Zealand met, the former were knocked out of the 2021 World Cup at the semifinal stage rather convincingly in Abu Dhabi. If that result repeats on Tuesday, England could virtually be out of contention this time around as well given how close Group 1 has been thanks to a couple of washed-out games. On the contrary, a win could make New Zealand the first semifinalist of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

ENG vs NZ T20 World Cup 2022 live updates:

When: November 1 at 18:00 Local Time

Where: The Gabba, Brisbane

What to expect: The days leading up to the game have been warm and perfect for cricket. However, according to the forecast, there could be some rain around on Tuesday although it is expected to clear by the time the game starts. The long boundary sizes will also play a big part in how the spinners operate.

Head to head: England 12 - 8 New Zealand
