Photo: GettyThe Black Caps have pulled off a stunning victory to go 2-1 up in their five-match Twenty20 series against England. Needing just 44 from 34 balls in their chase of 181 for victory, with eight wickets in hand, England somehow fell 14 runs short, as the Black Caps bowlers executed superbly under pressure. A three-over spell saw five wickets fall for just 10 runs, with the Black Caps seamers particularly impressive as Blair Tickner (2-25), Lockie Ferguson (2-25) and Tim Southee (0-28) tightened the screws and ensured England's long tail failed to reach their target. In the end, their 180-7 was too difficult for England to track down.
