Kyle Jamieson to James Rew, out Lbw!! This didn't look overly convincing to others, except Kyle Jamieson. Even his keeper wasn't really sure but he kept a strong voice to his captain, demanding the review. When New Zealand saw the ball hit the inner thigh of James Rew, some of the players started walking back to their fielding positions as ball-tracker was being built. And the moment they saw those three reds the scream was loud. Low bounce and Kyle Jamieson have managed to turn this in favour of NZ. Short of a length delivery angling in, kept a tad low and beat James Rew on the pull. Went well under the bat so no question of inside edge. Ball track says hitting top of middle and the NZ players mob Jamieson who was doing a double fist pump. Nitin Menon changes his onfield call. England lose another one minutes from stumps.
