England v New Zealand, Champions Trophy, Group B, Jo'burg

Andrew Strauss received one that climbed off a length second ball, taking a thin edge through to Brendon McCullum, and Shane Bond was soon in on the action when he ripped one through the defences of Joe Denly, uprooting the off stump.

Owais Shah's dismissal had nothing to do with the pitch. Coming off his breathtaking 89-ball 98 against South Africa, Shah clearly felt in supreme touch but he tried to dominate too early when he heaved across the line.

Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill took out more than half the target in little more than 12 overs in their blistering opening stand of 84. They countered a difficult pitch with aggression, and the by the time they were both dismissed, they had caused enough damage to ensure New Zealand would reach their target and qualify for the semi-finals.
