The hosts won the first match of New Zealand’s tour of England by a landslide. Three Lions won the match at Riverside with seven wickets and 36 balls to spare.
England won the toss and sent New Zealand into bat. New Zealand got off to a good start by hitting three sixes in the first over, but then England took control of the match by dropping wickets. At the end of the innings, 139 runs were scored in 20 overs. This score was easily surpassed by England.
An interesting incident took place during New Zealand’s innings. England skipper Jos Buttler was reviewed for the wicket once morest New Zealand’s top scorer Glenn Phillips. The star review was taken by LBW. But on replay it was clear that it hit the middle of Phillips’ bat. Butler took a very strange review.
Butler’s decision was mocked in the commentary box following the review. The incident happened when Phillips, who had scored 41 runs, was standing on 36 runs. The incident happened while spin bowler Liam Livingston was bowling.
Batting early, New Zealand got off to a flying start. New Zealand opened the scoreboard by shocking England, which is known for its attacking cricket. Finn Allen literally shocked England by hitting three sixes in the first over bowled by Luke Wood.
But the New Zealand batsmen might not capitalize on the start. None other than Glen Phillips might shine.
Bryden Carrs and Luke Wood took three wickets for England while Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Liam Livingston took one wicket each.
England, who batted in reply, suffered a setback in the first over. Tim Southee dismissed Jonny Bairstow, who hit the first ball of the innings for a boundary, in the hands of Daryl Mitchell in the second ball.
David Malan turned the match in England’s favor when he reached third. Malan scored 54 runs off 46 balls directly. Harry Brook remained unbeaten on 43 off 27 balls. The next match in the four-match series is tomorrow.
