New Zealand, after electing to bat first, have been 28 for 3 in seven overs, Luke Watson, Tom Jones and Snehith Reddy all falling to Ubaid Shah’s tempo. There was a little bit of a fightback, first courtesy Oliver Tewatiya (29) and captain Oscar Jackson (12), and then a extra substantial one from Tewatiya and top-scorer Lachlan Stackpole (41), including 61 runs for the fifth wicket. However New Zealand, who had recovered from their wobbly begin to attain the midway mark at a comparatively respectable 116 for 4, collapsed once more.
