England beaten heavily in T20 warm-up

England crashed to an eight-wicket defeat to a New Zealand XI in their second and final warm-up before the five-match T20I series against the full Black Caps side as Colin Munro smashed a bruising century. Munro ignited from the 15th over onwards, which began with New Zealand needing 73 from 36 balls, cracking each of his sixes from that point as he amassed 59 runs from his final 19 deliveries. New Zealand XI skipper Munro sealed his side's victory by cracking Mahmood for six, taking his unbroken third-wicket stand with Anarau Kitchen (48no off 29) to 139 from just 66 balls. Lancashire leg-spinner Parkinson then claimed a wicket with his third ball as he dismissed Anton Devcich (16), while Gregory caught Tim Seifert (12) off the bowling of Mahmood.
