    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mumbai, March 12 (Cricketnmore):<\/strong> England produced an impressive all-round performance to outclass New Zealand by six wickets in their warm-up match ahead of the World Twenty20 cricket tournament at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Batting first, skipper Kane Williamson struck a quick fire half-century as New Zealand posted 169\/8 in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In reply, openers Jason Roy (55) and Alex Hales (44) used their skills to good effect as England chased down the total with ease, scoring 170\/4 in 19.2 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chasing a target of 170, England got off to a flying start with openers Roy and Hales smashing the Kiwi bowlers to all parts of the ground to pile up 53 runs in the powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But after striking seven fours and two sixes, Roy had to head back to the pavilion as he was caught by Trent Boult off the bowling of off-spinner Mitchell Santner to have England at 77\/1 in 8.2 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Incoming batsman Joe Root (12) too fell in the space of four overs to hand New Zealand a slight advantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With Hales looking good to bring up his half-century, off-spinner Nathan McCullum got him caught and bowled in the 16th over followed by Eoin Morgan (20) in the 18th over to take the pressure away from the Kiwis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But incoming hard-hitting batsmen Jos Buttler (24 not out) and Ben Stokes (8 not out) took their team over the line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mitchell Santner (2\/24) and Nathan McCullum (2\/25) were the pick of the Kiwi bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, opting to bat, New Zealand&#39;s hard-hitting opener Martin Guptill (16) gave the team a good start but unfortunately threw his wicket away as he caught by Chris Jordan at mid-on off the bowling off Reece Topley in the second over itself. New Zealand were 19\/1 then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Leading from the front, his opening partner and skipper Kane Williamson (63) held on striking nine boundaries and one six to help his team cross the 50-run mark. Williamson was well supported in the end by Henry Nicholls (14).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the fall of Guptill, Williamson scored at a good pace to bring up his half-century in just 26 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But as both the batsmen was looking set to pile up some useful runs, off-spinner Moeen Ali got the much needed breakthrough dismissing Nicholls in the eighth over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Incoming batsman Luke Ronchi (13) along with his skipper helped the team cross the 100-run mark in the 10th over itself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Kiwis suffered a double blow when set batsmen Rochi and Williamson were dismissed in the 11th and 13th overs respectively to have New Zealand at 110\/4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From there on, the middle and lower order batsmen (Mitchell Santner 10, Nathan McCullum 2, Grant Elliott 14, Mitchell Mcclenaghan 1) departed in quick succession as a disciplined English bowling line-up held New Zealand to less than 170 in 20 overs. Ross Taylor (19) and Tim Southee (11) remained unbeaten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Off-spinner Rashid (3-15) and seamer Reece Topley (2-39) were the pick of the bowlers for England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brief scores: New Zealand 169\/8 in 20 overs (Kane Williamson 63; Adil Rashid 3\/15, Reece Topley 2\/39) vs England 170\/4 in 19.2 overs (Jason Roy 55, Alex Hales 44; Mitchell Santner 2\/24, Nathan McCullum 2\/25).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
