Trans-Tasman T20I Tri-Series, 2018: England vs New Zealand, 4th match, 5 talking points

#3 Adil Rashid steps up to bring England back

Rashid picked up two in two balls much to the relief of England fans

They say leg-spinners are gold in the shortest format of the game. It hardly seemed the case when Martin Guptill got down on one knee and kept hammering the cow corner boundary with his blistering slog sweeps. Rashid looked lost but wrist-spinners these days have a knack of grabbing a moment by the scruff of its neck.

Right when it seemed like Guptill would keep bombarding the boundary edges, Rashid bowled poor full toss that the Black Caps opener hit straight to the fielder. Colin de Grandhomme walked out with all the confidence in the world and bludgeoned Rashid to long-off the very first ball but Chris Jordan interrupted with a stunning one-handed take.
