NewZealand restrict England to 165 in a rain curtailed match!!

England and New Zealand are fighting it out for the series. England were out into bat and Luke Wright scored quickly at the top and Paul Collingwood too had some heavy blows as England reached 162 at Edgbaston in a match reduced to 24 overs per side. Wright's scored a brilliant and a quick fire half-century which took just 33 balls before more rain took five overs off the game, making it difficult to judge a decent target. New Zealand took regular wickets and fielded well. Grant Elliott who grabbed three on debut, and three wickets fell off the final four balls of the innings as England were bowled out.
