Full commentary

8.20pm: A crushing win for the host nation, sealed with more than eight overs to spare. New Zealand were on a hiding to nothing trying to defend such a meagre total, and they will have to lift their game against Australia in the other semi. England make it three wins from three and will be in confident mood as we enter the medal stages of these Commonwealth Games. We'll be back to bring you full coverage of both games on Saturday - until then, thanks for your comments. Bye!
