Liam Livingstone’s rescue act bailed out England’s top order before a fine bowling performance saw Jos Buttler’s side claim a series-levelling victory over New Zealand in the Second ODI at Southampton.
In an innings shortened to 34 overs because of rain, England were reduced to 55 for five by a fine new-ball spell from Trent Boult, but Livingstone’s arrival at the crease marked the start of a superb recovery as the all-rounder backed up a half-century in the series opener to cement his Cricket World Cup place.
