Pitch: 3 - Normal
Weather: 6 - Cool and showery
Toss: New Zealand A
New Zealand A won the toss, and after weathering a tight spell by veteran allround Ian Botham, posted 144/5 from their 20 overs.
A hard hitting 53 in 31 balls to Rod Latham, with 4 fours and 4 sixes left the home team pretty happy with their position at the break.
Atherton made 20 off 13 balls to get England off to a quick start and suggest he may have a future in this form of the game, but too many batsmen got starts and got out.
A disciplined New Zealand A attack bowled well as a group and restricted England A in the middle overs, as the visitors eventually fell 5 short.
The key moment of the chase was probably Botham's dismissal, lbw to Sua with 28 required to win from 3 overs.
Latham was Man of the Match, his innings giving New Zealand A enough runs to play with.
New Zealand A won by 5 runs
Man of the Match: R.T.Latham
