Right then, that's all from the first T20I. England emerged victorious in a convincing fashion and will look to make it 2-0 while New Zealand will be aiming to draw level in the series. The action now shifts to Old Trafford in Manchester, where the 2nd T20I of the series will take place on September 1. The first ball will be bowled at 10.30 pm IST (5.00 pm GMT). As always, you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Jos Buttler, the captain of England, says that they tried to pick as many wickets as they could and stick to their playing style. Adds that they have got a fantastic start. He says that it was an all round performance from the team and he is happy with the win.

New Zealand's skipper Tim Southee says that it was not a good effort from them and they needed to do well. He adds that they failed to access the conditions. He says that Glenn Phillips has been phenomenal, especially in sticky situations. Ends by saying that they will look to bounce back and win their following game.

Brydon Carse is the Player of the Match on his T20I debut. His brilliant bowling figures of 3 for 23 from his four overs paved the way for an England win. He says it is a great start to his career and he is happy to put up a performance in from of the home crowd. He adds that he kept it simple and his efforts paid off. Reckons that he has his friends here and ends by saying that performing well is a special feeling.

Time for the presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, after Jos Buttler won the toss and inserted New Zealand into bat, Finn Allen got off the blocks quickly with three sixes in the very first over. At that stage, it looked like we were in for a high-scoring contest but it all fell apart for New Zealand post Devon Conway's departure. The visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals and simply failed to string any partnerships together. Glenn Phillips's 41 gave the Kiwi bowlers something to bowl at. For England, debutant Brydon Carse stood out with three wickets while Luke Wood accounted for three wickets as well but was on the expensive side.

With not a big total to defend, as he has done so often, Tim Southee provided New Zealand with an early breakthrough. However, the rest of the bowlers were unable to capitalise on that early scalp, allowing England to release the pressure. Introduced after the Powerplay, Ish Sodhi accounted for Will Jacks and gave New Zealand a slither of hope. It wasn't to be, as Dawid Malan and Harry Brook took the game by the scruff of the neck and started to run away with it. Lockie Ferguson did manage to see the back of Malan, but it was nothing but a consolation, as the damage had already been done.

England have absolutely steamrolled their way to victory! With this statement win, they have drawn first blood in the four-match T20I series. In their pursuit of 140, England were rocked early as they lost Jonny Bairstow in the first over. This early blow did not deter Will Jacks and Dawid Malan, as both kept going for their shots and ensured that England stayed ahead of the required run rate. Coming in at number 4, Harry Brook continued where he left off in The Hundred and carried forward the momentum alongside Malan. The southpaw departed shortly after reaching fifty, but not before putting England in a commanding position. Towards the end, Liam Livingstone provided the finishing touches and took England over the line with 6 overs to spare.

ENG vs NZ Preview

The first T20I of the three-match series between England and New Zealand will be played at The Oval in London on Wednesday, August 30th.

England are the current world champions in T20 cricket and have been in excellent form in recent months, winning their last 10 T20Is. They have a strong batting line-up led by Jos Buttler, who is the world’s number one T20 batsman, and Liam Livingstone. Their bowling attack is also very good, with Chris Woakes, Tymal Mills, and Adil Rashid all capable of taking wickets.

New Zealand are a very experienced side and have a good balance of batting and bowling. Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell are their key batsmen, while Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson are their leading bowlers. They will be looking to bounce back after losing their last T20I series against India.

The pitch at The Oval is usually good for batting, so both teams will be looking to score big runs. The weather is expected to be dry and sunny, so there should be no rain interruptions.

The match is evenly poised and it is difficult to predict a winner. However, England are the slight favorites, given their recent form and home advantage.

Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street Pitch Report

The Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street is known to be a batting-friendly wicket. The average first innings score in T20Is at this ground is 163 runs. The pitch is good for stroke-play and the batters can score runs freely if they get their eye in.

However, the pitch does tend to slow down a bit in the second innings, so the bowlers can get some purchase off the surface. The spinners can also be effective in the middle overs.
