New Zealand vs England, 3rd ODI at Auckland, , Feb 15 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary

short, pulled but not timed, but it makes no difference as they take the single to backward square leg that wins the match and puts England back in the series

slashed drive to the left of extra cover and this time Shah takes the run to tie the scores

crisp drive to deepish mid-off but again no interest in the single

all very anticlimactic now ... the runs will come .... but not off this ball which point fields

driven to extra cover

low full toss patted to long-on

firmly pushed to point and ironic cheers for the dot ball

slower ball steered to backward point

good yorker well dug out and pushed to long-on

now you suspect he is taking the whatsit ... another full toss reverse swept to perfection

driven over mid-off, it bounces a foot inside the rope and as the man is in the ring, a safe shot

chipped over the bowler, not enough power to make the rope but two more

chest-high full toss, dismissively swatted into the crowd beyond square leg

steered skillfully down to third man, it was full and he opened the face so perfectly that he almost evaded the man down there

pushed to extra cover, the batsmen hurry, the fielder almost seems to have given up the ghost

leg-side full toss, jabbed through midwicket and more air escapes ...

he steps to leg and hammers the ball through the covers, a super shot at this stage of the game and you can see the Kiwis deflating with every blow

heaved drive past a diving midwicket, the men in the deep converge but not quickly enough to save the second

tip and run into the off side, very easy

waist-high full toss, and Collingwood swats it away, high and handsome over backward square.
