New Zealand and England have done well in their perspective as the first innings. The two teams are playing the first semifinal of the World T20. New Zealand has entered into the final four contests without losing any game.
On the other hand, England had one defeat by the hands of the West Indies. The bowling from England was good today. They bowled really well with the new ball. Jordan and Willey kept it tight and even the likes of Guptill who has made a lot of bowlers pay in the power plays felt helpless.
He tried to break the silence but only edged the ball to the English wicketkeeper Buttler and there was no way he could have dropped this easy chance. Williamson and Munro then took the charge and they hit a decent partnership.
But then Moeen Ali struck against Williamson. It was a flighted ball which Williamson tried to hit on the leg side with the spin. But he was early to his shot and hence a top edge of his bat took the ball aerial and Moeen Ali had to run backwards to judge and take an excellent catch. It may have looked easy but it certainly was not when Moeen took it.
Munro played well but then he edged a very much wide ball from Plunkett and the ball went straight into the safe hands of Moeen Ali. England did well with the ball and definitely, New Zealand will have to bowl well in their second innings to restrict the Englishmen.
