NZealand win last ball thriller against UK
June 26, 2008 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.
