4.55pm: Well, is that a winning score? Who knows, on this ground - venue for the highest successful chase in T20Is. New Zealand went hard from the off, led by Martin Guptill's 19-ball fifty, and only a brief lull in the middle, when Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood produced back-to-back single-figure overs, kept them (somewhat) in check. England will be feeling pretty confident after their record-breaking exploits in Napier - although they have left out MoM Dawid Malan here - and this could be rip-roaring chase to finish the series. Join Valkerie in 10 to see the fireworks go off

TK Curran to Taylor, 1 run, OUT, fires in the yorker, 133kph and whipped through backward square... they are going to push for two but Billings collects and back-hands on to the stumps to finish things off!

TK Curran to Taylor, no run, ooh, not sure about that, Ross... goes for a cute reverse dab, actually using the back of the bat, but fails to connect!

SM Curran to Seifert, SIX, by the beard of Zeus, he's marmalised that! Short ball, Seifert made room and threw the hands through a punishing swat that flew miles back over long-on!
