Adil Rashid to Zakary Foulkes
FOUR! That could be the telling blow from Zakary Foulkes and the on-air commentators did mention that he is more than a handy batter. Tossed up, full and on the pads, Foulkes sits down and nails the sweep, firming it just behind square leg for a boundary. New Zealand are 4 runs away from the win now.

Sam Curran to Blair Tickner
Tickner somehow gets this one over the slip fielder and picks up two runs as well. Back of a length and around off, Tickner gets cramped but backs away and angles it over the first slip fielder. Adil Rashid does well to move to his left at deep third and save the boundary.
44.2

Sam Curran to Blair Tickner
Oh, the last thing you want is a run out at this stage. Full and outside off, driven towards cover. The batters think about the single but there is some indecision and they decide against it and rightly so.
44.3

Sam Curran to Blair Tickner
Scores are now level! Short of a length over middle, skidding on. Blair Tickner rocks back to pull but ends up snatching at it and slices it back over the bowler's head for a single. England need a miracle to force a Super Over here.

Sam Curran to Zakary Foulkes
FOUR! As cool as you like from Zakary Foulkes and he hits the winning runs in style. Sam Curran serves this full on the pads and angles it in, Foulkes clips it neatly off the pads and the ball strolls away into the vacant backward square leg fence for four runs. New Zealand win this humdinger of a game by 2 wickets and sweep the series 3-0!
