Live Cricket Updates: Black Caps v England, Third and Final T20

England secured the series 1-0 after rain washed out two of three matches, including the final at Eden Park, with only two games completed in total.

  • On Thursday, England cricket team won the three-match Twenty20 series 1-0 after the Eden Park, Auckland decider was rained out, denying New Zealand cricket team a chance to level.
  • Rain forced players off the field after three balls, with only 3.4 overs completed before an 80-minute delay reduced play to 14 overs per side and rain returned after 3.1 overs.
  • England's 65-run win in the second T20 at Hagley Oval secured the series while Harry Brook was named player of the series after scoring 98 runs and Tim Seifert made 23 not out as Brydon Carse took Tim Robinson's wicket.
  • Both teams will travel to Mount Maunganui for Sunday's ODI series-opener, with England expecting "a few changes in the side" to maintain momentum and fine-tune before next year’s T20 World Cup.
  • Of six scheduled matches only two were completed, raising questions about playing T20s in New Zealand's spring, as Mitchell Santner said, `This time of the year, it's always a potential but some good things to come out of the series, it's always nice to play England.
