England have won an extraordinary game here at the Arb Premadasa Stadium to clinch top spot in their group.
They were already through to the semi-finals, but now they have won three out of three by defeating New Zealand by four wickets in dramatic and thrilling fashion.
I'm Daniel Norcross.
Alongside me is World Cup winner Alex Hartley.
As we reflect on what was an absorbing, fascinating game of cricket on a very unusual surface, the first thing that everybody needs to understand here is that
These pitches are nothing like the ones we get in India.
And this one particularly today turned so extravagantly.
England ended up bowling 16 overs of spin.
Actually, New Zealand ended up just bowling 4.3 overs of spin themselves.
They bowled 15 overs of spin.
We've seen 31 overs of spin out of 39.3 overs.
And the spinners on top throughout.
England in all sorts of trouble having set them 160 to win when there were six down for 117 with three and a half overs to go needing 43 at that time they looked absolutely dead and buried but somehow Rehan Ahmed and Will Jacks in a blistering display have taken down
Glen Phillips they've taken down Mitchell Santner and they finished it off off Matt Henry to ensure that New Zealand will have a little nail-biting 24 hours uncertain of their future progress in this tournament for England Again, it's a tale Alex Hartley of winning a game and
somehow without anybody really dominating you look at their scorecard today the top scorer was Tom Bantam with 33 out of a total of 161 no one went on the other day Harry Brooke did he got his hundred but it's about contributions throughout and England have done that they did that with the ball that used plenty of plenty of spinners five of them I think in the end
everybody chipped in to a certain degree and for New Zealand it'll be well not heartbreaking because they are still in the box seat they know that Pakistan need to win handsomely against Sri Lanka in Kandy in the last game of this group but they had that game and they've let it slip and that must be a bit galling yeah you'd be so frustrated as a New Zealand player when it just looked like they were going to walk it looked like it was going to be one of those games that just peters out and it is a bit of a
Yeah, we'll take you back to the beginning when New Zealand won the toss, elected to bat, put pressure on England on a pitch that we already expected would turn and would only get worse was the expectation.
And the inning started very untypically for the rest of the match.
Joffre Archer opened the bowling for England and bowled a maiden.
He nearly had a wicket in the first over, one that was overturned on review.
