ENG v NZ, Fourth ODI, Bristol: New Zealand win last ball thriller against England (1:2)

New Zealand won a dramatic last-ball victory to beat England by one wicket in the fourth one-day international at The Oval here Wednesday to take an unbeatable 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
With two needed off the final ball, last man Mark Gillespie hit Luke Wright to extra-cover. But Graeme Swann's fierce throw to the bowler's end wasn't backed up by several England fielders - had he lobbed it in, Gillespie might have been run out by a distance - and this allowed New Zealand the winning second on the over-throw as they reached their target of 246. Kyle Mills was 25 not out off just 27 balls.
The match threatened to be overshadowed by controversy when New Zealand, closing in on victory, saw Grant Elliott run out after what appeared an accidental shoulder charge by England quick bowler Ryan Sidebottom, who'd veered off a straight course in an attempt to regather the ball. With Elliott flat out, Ian Bell threw to Kevin Pietersen at the bowler's end and Elliott was dismissed with New Zealand 220 for eight in the 44th over.
Although England captain Paul Collingwood could have withdrawn the appeal and there is also provision within the laws for the umpires to call dead ball in the event of a serious injury, Elliott was ruled run out.
That England made as many as 245 owed much to Owais Shah's 63. Together with Ravi Bopara (58) he put on 75 for the fifth wicket.
