ENG v NZ, Third ODI, Bristol: New Zealand level ODI series (1:1)

Teenage paceman Tim Southee took four wickets to lead New Zealand to victory over England by 22 runs in the third one-day international on Saturday and level the five-match series at 1-1.
New Zealand scored 182 all out in 50 overs, and dismissed England for 160 in 46.2 overs. The Kiwis were earlier reduced to 49 for five, but Grant Elliott hit 56 and No. 9 Kyle Mills scored 47.
In response, the 19-year-old Southee removed Ravi Bopara, Owais Shah and Tim Ambrose in eight balls without conceding a run, before later taking England captain Paul Collingwood's wicket to post impressive figures of four for 38. Mills also performed well with the ball, dismissing Luke Wright for two in the first over thanks to a catch by Scott Styris at second slip. Mills claimed the important wicket of Kevin Pietersen, caught at mid-wicket by Elliott for only four runs.
Having been put into bat, the tourists endured a sluggish start, putting just three runs on the scoreboard in the first two overs. Brendon McCullum went on the attack, scoring a total of 17 off 11 balls including two fours and a six. But his attempt for another boundary off James Anderson was caught high by Pietersen at midoff.
Stripped of the destructive force of McCullum, the wickets of Jamie How (10), Ross Taylor (8) and Scott Styris (4) tumbled for just five runs as New Zealand went from 37-1 to 42-4. Stuart Broad removed How's middle stump; Styris gloved fast bowler Chris Tremlett through to wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose; and Taylor's off-stump was demolished by Broad. Daniel Flynn was looking to increase the total when he slogged Anderson's full toss high into Tremlett's hands at midoff and was out for two.
Gareth Hopkins, dropped earlier by Collingwood, was caught at deep backward square by substitute fielder William Porterfield for seven runs. Vettori was dropped by Ambrose, but added just five more runs to reach 18 before chipping spinner Graeme Swann into Shah's hands.
Elliott was caught by Wright off Anderson and Southee went for a duck when smashing into Pietersen's hands. Mills added 14 before being caught on the final ball.
England began slowly with Ian Bell taking 15 overs to go into double figures. Bell reached 20 with two fours before being caught at cover by McCullum. Southee wiped out the middle order, sending Shah and Ambrose back to the pavilion without scoring. Collingwood and Swann put on a 65-run stand in 17 overs to give England hope of a comeback but Swann (29) was removed at mid-wicket by Taylor off Styris, and Collingwood (34) became Southee's fourth victim with a leg before wicket verdict.
After Broad was caught by Hopkins off Vettori, England was left requiring 23 from 25 deliveries, but the final two wickets quickly tumbled. It was left to Elliott to remove Tremlett with Vettori calmly taking the catch.
England won the first of the five-match series at Chester-le-Street last Sunday by 114 runs, and the second match Wednesday was a no-result after rain at Edgbaston. The fourth match is at The Oval on Wednesday.
