Surprisingly comfortable win for England, beating New Zealand by 7 wickets with 1.3 overs to spare. Top scorer James Vince with 59 (38 balls), Bairstow made 35, Morgan 34 n.o.

Sad to hear the news about Glenn Maxwell. Came across as a real team man during his stint at Lancs last season. Bowled well, fielded well, very enthusiastic, great with Parkinson. Didn't come off with the bat (in the Championship) but I think they batted him too high - him coming in at 4 or 5 and Vilas, averaging over 100, coming in at 6 or 7 was very odd.

Good to see what can only be described as a hugely understrength England side performing so well, James Vince for once leading the way in an England shirt. He's always had the talent as he regularly shows at county level but kept finding ways to get out and frustrate at the higher level.
Always thought that century Vince made in Australia would signal a breakthrough but sadly it was a false dawn and his ODI world cup performance best forgotten.
Hopefully this time he will finally be able to go on.

All to fit in a useless competition.

Saqib Mahmood makes his England debut in the second T20 match against New Zealand (1.00 am). England won the toss and will bowl.

He was awful.
No variation at all.

Got to be a bit nervous.
New Zealand made 176-8, England dropping 6 catches didn't help. Ever reliable Chris Jordan with the best figures, 3-23.

De Grandhomme loses teams so many matches.
He could have strolled them to 190 there.
Mahmood being hit for 6 over extra cover must have hurt too.

Went to the game in Christchurch on Friday. Brilliant bowler is Jordan, first time I'd watched him live. Bowled well again here today.
Looks like we're going to spank the English today. 95-6 with seven to go; 80 or so still needed.

A spanking indeed.
