At the far end, Sam Curran, playing his most memorable game since the Hundred last, belted both left-arm spinners – Santner and Rachin Ravindra – for sixes.
The pair raised a 100-run organization toward the finish of the 32nd over when Livingstone swiped Henry’s more slow ball into the represents his initial six, and Britain had guaranteed they had a serious all out on the board.
Curran fell scooping Southee to short third and when Daryl Mitchell trample on the limit toblerone while endeavoring a catch off David Willey at long-off, Livingstone was running out of balls to arrive at three figures. He recovered the hit with two chunks of the innings left on 91 not out, however could hurl a couple of twos.
