New Zealand v England: third and final men’s T20 – live
New Zealand 1 Tim Seifert (wk), 2 Tim Robinson, 3 Rachin Ravindra, 4 Mark Chapman, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Michael Bracewell, 7 Jimmy Neesham, 8 Michell Santner (capt), 9 Zak Foulkes, 10 Matt Henry, 11 Jacob Duffy.
England 1 Phil Salt, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Jacob Bethell, 4 Harry Brook (capt), 5 Sam Curran, 6 Tom Banton, 7 Jordan Cox, 8 Liam Dawson, 9 Brydon Carse, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Luke Wood.
England stick with a winning team. New Zealand make one change to their bowling, replacing big Kyle Jamieson with not-quite-so-big Zak Foulkes.
When thereâs rain around, you bat second. Harry Brook is often unorthodox, but not that unorthodox.
Morning everyone, evening everyone else, and welcome to the decider in this Twenty20 series. A New Zealand win, the one realistic result we havenât had so far, will mean the spoils are shared, which would seem fair after NZ had the better of the washout in the first game. But any other result here will hand the series to England â and that includes no result, which is rearing its soggy head again.
England in New Zealand: Phil Salt & Harry Brook power tourists to victory in first T20
Phil Salt and Harry Brook powered England to a dominant 65-run victory over New Zealand in the second T20, giving the tourists a 1-0 series lead with one match to play.
The pair combined for 129 in 69 balls as the visitors impressively piled up 236-4 – the highest score made at Christchurch's Hagley Oval in T20 internationals and England's fifth highest in the format.
Opener Salt continued his superb form with 85 from 56 balls, but it was captain Brook who was the more destructive in striking five sixes in a 35-ball 78.
He punished an uncharacteristically sloppy New Zealand fielding performance – Jimmy Neesham put down a simple chance to dismiss Brook at long-on – and rendered the Black Caps bowling helpless when in full flow.

New Zealand and England will square off in the third and final T20 international of their series on Wednesday at Eden Park in Auckland, with the first ball scheduled for 11:15 p.m. ET. You can catch all the action in the United States on ESPN.
After falling short in the opening match, England bounced back in emphatic fashion in the second T20 at Wellington, chasing down a target of 186 with an over to spare. Jos Buttler led from the front with a 63-run knock off 37 balls, while Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone provided explosive middle-order hitting.
England’s bowling attack, led by Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid, also found its rhythm, tightening the screws during the death overs. Head coach Matthew Mott will hope his side can carry that momentum into the decider, as England seek another away-series win before turning attention to their 2026 T20 World Cup preparations.
