Williamson hits a mighty 6 of the second ball of the last over to bring up his century and leave them with one to win.
New Zealand win.

FAF left himself with the wrong bowler for the last over
On to the womens footie…
What channel?
It’s on BBC1.
Looking forward to today’s match. Bangladesh are the only team left with any realistic chance of breaking the top four. And they’d need to beat Australia to do it. Wouldn’t that be great?
Either way, I’ve enjoyed Bangladesh at this tournament, so I hope they give it a good go.
Australia 101 up after 17 overs
Why is it that England supporters have songs or bands to support their team, yet the Asians seem to think chanting their country’s name is sufficient.
Bangladeshi supporters :- “Bangladesh, Bangladesh, Bangladesh” repeat ad infinitum
Indian supporters :- “India, India, India, India” repeat infinitum
Same for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc. etc. etc.
Chelsea, Chelsea.Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea,Chelsea, Chelsea…
Ho hum.
It’s raining, they’ve come off with 1 over remaining
Australia 368-5
Warner out for a superb 166
If you think Australia have been dominant today, check out what happened elsewhere in the cricket world: Uganda women beat Mali women by a whopping 304 runs - in a T20I.
Australia 381-5, so they don’t beat the score that we set against Bangladesh despite playing on a better batting surface!!
Bangladesh 53-1 after 10 overs.
Lose toss.
SL chose to bat
England: 1 Jonny Bairstow, 2 James Vince, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Jofra Archer, 11 Mark Wood
Sri Lanka: 1 Dimuth Karunaratne (capt), 2 Kusal Perera (wk), 3 Avishka Fernando, 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Jeevan Mendis, 7 Dhananjaya de Silva, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Isuru Udana, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Nuwan Pradeep
SL 3-1 in 2nd over Archer gets a nick through to Buttler outswinging to left hander Karunartner
And Woakes gets into the act SL 3-2 big hoick off the edge to 3rd man Perera goes.
Their best 2 performing batsmen back in the hitch inside 14 balls
Now have 3 slips in an ODI!!
Fernando putting Archer to the sword, think he’s scored something like 40 runs off of the last 15 balls…
Hope they haven’t gone and done a vs Pakistan again and taken their foot off the gas after 2 early & easy wickets
To be honest Archer is so fast that they only have to connect for the ball to race away for 4 or 6.
50 up off of 10.4 overs
