New Zeland pip England

New Zealand stole an extraordinary one-wicket victory over England in the fourth one-day international at The Oval with an overthrow off the final ball.

With two runs required and one ball remaining, number 11 Mark Gillespie squeezed a full-pitched delivery from Luke Wright into the off-side.

Graeme Swann's throw missed the stumps with nobody backing up and Gillespie and Kyle Mills scampered the winning runs.

New Zealand finished on 246 for nine from 50 overs after dismissing England for 245 from 49.4 overs.

England's Paul Collingwood said: "To scrap back defending 245 would have left us pretty delighted immediately after the game.

"But I think I would have looked back at the game and there would certainly have been a bad taste in my mouth."
