- New Zealand 180-7; England 166-7 – NZ win by 14 runs
- England lose five wickets in 19 balls in costly collapse
England were left to reflect on a shoddy collapse as New Zealand claimed a 14-run victory in Nelson to go 2-1 up in this Twenty20 series with two to play.
After the Black Caps had posted 180 for six, powered by a typically brawny 35-ball 55 from Colin de Grandhomme, the tourists looked to be cruising to their target with ease, needing 44 from the last 34 balls with eight wickets in hand.
