Liam Livingstone was the star of the show, scoring a magnificent 95 runs off 78 balls, anchoring the innings with 9 fours and 1 six. Jos Buttler (30 runs off 25) and Sam Curran (42 runs off 35) provided 🎶valuable contributions to propel England to a co🦩mpetitive total of 226-7.
However, New Zealand bowlers, led by Trent Boult (3 wickets for 37 runs) and Tim Southee (2 wickets for 65 runs), managed to keep England from posting an even more sꦿubstantial total.
New Zealand Innings: 147/10 (26.5 overs)
Chasing a target of 227, New Zealand’s batting order faced a stern test from England’s bowlers.

Outstanding from Liam Livingstone. His highest ODI score of 95* helped rescue England from a precarious scenario in Southampton. From 55-5 to 226/7 in a 34 over match. Excellent support from Sam Curran. New Zealand will feel like they've let England get away here.

Today’s Liam Livingstone is the one we all hoped to watch regularly s🐻ince he broke onto the scene. Because he has given us doubts…
Please just do this consistently until the end of the W꧋C 🙏
It’s a very big ask of course but he’s surely near his very d🅘estructive best today.
