England T20/ODI series v New Zealand/Ireland.

[Durhamfootman]

Jacks has seen the writing on the wall and is keeping the strike.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Johnny Blameless not picking me up many FL points.

Malan, 21 off 19, now, so ok so far in a low scoring game.

[Durhamfootman]

Malan gets going. He'll have to remember to thank them for bowling spin in the PP.

The danger lies in the days when he gets out for 4 off 11 balls

[Durhamfootman]

One of the things that I struggle with in T20 is those days when the bowlers have dominated the PP and then the fielding skip immediately pushes the field out (because he's allowed to) and lets the batters work their way back into the game. Why release all the pressure like that

[Arthur Crabtree]

Tough for NZ. Going for ten an over, so need to bowl dry but need to take wickets even more.

[Durhamfootman]

50 for Malan. Well paced knock, but I still worry about him being 4 off 11 early on

[Durhamfootman]

I think that's what's called a walloping

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well that was a doddle.

[Durhamfootman]

England outplayed NZ in every dept, by the sounds of it

Carse's figures are the best by an England debutant since 2015 seemingly

I wish he'd bowl like that for Durham in the dribble

I wish anyone would bowl like that for Durham in the dribble

[Arthur Crabtree]

Atkinson comes in for Wood. I presume this is his debut.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Kiwis unchanged, in my opinion.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England win the toss and bat. Different tactics this time.

[Arthur Crabtree]

This is on BBC2. Like it's 1985.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Kiwis need 199, which is many fewer than looked on five overs ago.

Carse's figures are the best by an England debutant since 2015 seemingly

That record didn't last long
