New Zealand v England: T20 Tri Series

At one stage the Black Caps needed 31 from 22 and then 21 from last 2 overs. The 19th over of New Zealand's innings from Chris Jordan saw a lot of drama (a boundary and 2 no-balls) but went for just 9 runs.

Although New Zealand had already made it to the final of the T20I tri-series against Australia, they required 12 runs from the last over to win on Sunday.

Eoin Morgan handed over the ball to Tom Curran and he successfully defended 12 runs and ensured a consolation win for England.

New Zealand batsmen Colin de Grandhomme and Mark Chapman had to score 12 runs in the last 6 deliveries but they failed to do so.

Just one boundary came off Chapman's bat when a full-toss on the pads from Curran was played across through to the fence at backward square.

Curran gave away just 9 runs in the last over as New Zealand fell short by 3 runs, ending a run of four defeats in a row for England.
