New Zealand win last ball thriller

New Zealand won a rousing thriller to take a 2-1 lead in the five match series with only one match remaining in the five match series.
Scott Styris hit 69, Jacob Oram marked his first game of the series with a crucial 38, and Kyle Mills remained unbeaten on 25, which all contributed to a hair-raising, pulsating chase of a target that had been set up by sparkling fifties from Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah.
However the day had its fair share of controversies. As Grant Elliot was injured in a collision with Sidebottom, the bails were whipped off at the end he was running to and thus was given out. What was more surprising the England captain Paul Collingwood upheld the appeal when the umpires gave him an option to roll it back, clearly incensing the Kiwis.
