England v New Zealand, Group C, St Lucia Styris and Oram prove the difference 
0.1 Franklin to Joyce, OUT, (almost) perfect start for new Zealand. A soft dismissal, short outside off stump, almost a long hop, which Joyce swishes at and gets a thin but audible top edge to and McCullum flings the ball high.

8.5 Oram to Bell, OUT, Oram strikes, Bell tried to drive a ball that was a little too wide and a little too short, and the thin edge is easily taken by McCullum. Bell got a bit bogged down there and frustration appeared to have got the better of him © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images 
15.3 Franklin to Vaughan, OUT, awful shot and Vaughan pays the price. The ball wasn't short enough to pull, but Vaughan tried to, and instead dragged a huge bottom edge back into his stumps.

21.1 Vettori to Pietersen, no run, huge shout immediately for lbw - it was certainly straight enough, but Pietersen got a big stride in and perhaps his gum-chewing nonchalance was a further clue to help the umpire © Getty Images .

34.6 Styris to Collingwood, OUT, Collingwood shapes to run the ball down to third man but only succeeds in running it off the face of the bat right into McCullum's gloves.

35.3 Bond to Pietersen, OUT, a soft end to a good innings. Pietersen took a stride down the pitch and chipped the ball to James Franklin coming in from long-on. It was a lame stroke, a nothing stroke, and now England are in the deep stuff © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images 
35.6 Bond to Flintoff, OUT, a collapse turns into a crisis for England. A slower ball and Flintoff does no more than chip the ball to extra cover who takes the most routine of routine catches. New Zealand are almost beside themselves as Flintoff, head bowed, trudges off © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images

0.6 Anderson to Vincent, OUT, stood tall and fished at that one with a straight bat, sending the lightest feather of an edge through to Nixon who snaps up an easy catch © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images 
1.2 Plunkett to Taylor, OUT, what a catch! Flintoff, diving athletically at wide first slip, takes a terrific catch, one handed with his right hand © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images 
15.2 Panesar to McMillan, OUT, and the move pays off! That's a perfect pitch on leg and turns a touch away as the batsman goes for an aerial drive over cover which he spoons right in the air. A bit of zigzagging from Dalrymple who - importantly - keeps his eye on the ball all the way. Panesar leaps like an exciteable salmon at the catch © Getty Images .
