New Zealand and England played out a dramatic tie in their fourth one-day international at Napier yesterday.
Both teams finished on 340 runs, leaving New Zealand with a 2-1 lead in the series with one match to play.
England batted first and made 340-6 with four players scoring half-centuries. New Zealand lost seven wickets in their run chase with Jamie How top scoring with a superb 139 and Brendon McCullum making 58.
How was run out off the penultimate ball of the match, leaving the Kiwis requiring two runs off the final ball to win. However, captain Daniel Vettori could only manage a single off Luke Wright's delivery, leaving the teams all square.
"It's a game we should have comfortably won after the positions we put ourselves in," Vettori told a news conference.
