Nelson, Nov 5:<\/strong> A quick-fire half century from Colin de Grandhomme followed by a disciplined bowling performance by the pacers helped New Zealand beat England by 14 runs in the third T20I at the Saxton Oval played on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chasing 181, England at one stage were on course of winning with 139\/3 on the scoreboard in the 15th over. However, the Black Caps struck with back to back wickets and derailed England's chase who were ultimately restricted to 166\/7 in their allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For New Zealand, Lockie Ferguson and Blair Tickner were the chief tormentors as they both picked two-two wickets each and gave 50 runs in their eight overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier, after electing to bat, the Black Caps went off to a flying start as the openers collected 40 runs within the first four overs before Martin Guptill - after scoring 33 off 17 balls - became the first scalp of Patrick Brown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After that, the hosts lost two quick wickets before de Grandhomme (55) stitched together a 66-run partnership with Ross Taylor (27) to provide the team with a launch pad to unleash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Towards the end, Mitchell Santner and James Neesham played cameos of 15 and 20 to take New Zealand to 180\/7.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England started their chase on a bright note as Tom Banton and Dawid Malan collected 27 runs in the first three overs before Banton was clean bowled by Tickner at his individual score of 18.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Malan, who has recently been signed by Yorkshire, didn't get affected by his partner's loss and along with James Vince, stitched a 63-run partnership, taking England to 90 in 10 overs. However, just when England seemed to be cruising, Malan lost his wicket after contributing with 55 runs from 34 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Skipper Eoin Morgan, who came in next, then took the team to 139\/3 within the 15-over mark. However, just Santner got Morgan caught by Munro after the England captain made 18 runs. The England skipper's wicket led to a mini-collapse as the Three Lions went on to lose four wickets in the next three overs and could add mere 10 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tom Curran and Saqib Mahmood did try to take England across the line. But the task was too much as the visitors ultimately fell short by 14 runs and conceded a 1-2 lead in the five-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The two teams will now lock horns in Napier in the fourth T20I on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief scores: New Zealand 180\/7 (Colin de Grandhomme 55, Martin Guptill 33; Tom Curran 2\/29) beat England 166\/7 (Dawid Malan 55, James Vince 49; Lockie Ferguson 2\/25) by 14 runs.
