For New Zealand, Rachin Ravindra was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged a brilliant three-wicket haul. Also, Tim Southee picked up two wickets while Lockie Ferguson got one.

Chasing the target in tricky conditions, Devon Conway and Will Young batted with great intent and provided their side with a great start. Both the openers batted with a good strike rate and New Zealand completed 50 runs in just 7.5 overs.

Adil Rashid Gets The Breakthrough For England

As Conway and Young looked set for a big partnership, the veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid came to bowl and got the much-needed breakthrough for his side. The leggie cleaned up Young with an absolute jaffa and Nasser Hussain on-air labeled it as a magical delivery.

On the first ball of the 10th over, Rashid bowled a tossed-up delivery that drifted in and drew Young forward. The ball then spun away to beat the outside edge and shatter the off-stump to leave the batter absolutely stunned. The leg-spinner was pumped up after picking his first wicket of the match and 100th wicket in England.
