Recorded it and just got through watching, without knowing the result. With New Zealand keeping plenty of wickets in hand there was always the chance that they'd throw the kitchen sink at the death bowlers, but there was soome poor stuff being sent down nevertheless. Jordan set the scene with a string of wides and half-volleys, and neither Rashid or Woakes could really do any better. Was a pivotal moment in the field when Bairstow did a Trent Boult on the boundary rope too (and right on the same spot), as a wicket right there could have totally changed the momentum. Can't begrudge New Zealand the win having lost 2019 on a technicality, but in future England need a Bumrah who can come in and nail those yorkers at the death.
