Mount Maunganui: Ben Stokes' 63 not out backed up an excellent fielding performance as England beat New Zealand by six wickets to level the one-day series at 1-1.
England took three fine catches and claimed four run outs to dismiss the hosts for 223 in Tauranga.
In reply, the tourists lost two early wickets but Stokes put on 88 with captain Eoin Morgan who scored 62.
Morgan was caught and bowled by Colin Munro but Stokes guided England to victory with 12.1 overs remaining.
The all-rounder, playing in his second match on his return after five months out, also took two wickets, as did Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes.
New Zealand, who were without injured captain Kane Williamson, had looked likely to be bowled out for an even smaller total but Mitchell Santer's maiden one-day fifty helped them recover from 147-8.
The third match of the best-of-five series on Saturday at in Wellington.
England were criticised for their fielding performance in the series' opening match in Hamilton but a significantly improved showing went a long way to securing victory.
First, David Willey took a fine catch running back from square leg with the ball dropping over his shoulder to dismiss Mark Chapman, as opener bowler Chris Woakes took a wicket in each of his first two overs of the game.
Willey then pulled off a second moment of brilliance to run out Ross Taylor, who scored a century in the Black Caps win on Sunday, for 10. Fielding at backward point, Willey dived low to his right to stop Taylor's cut before spinning and throwing at the stumps while still on the turf with the batsman a yard short when wicketkeeper Jos Buttler took off the bails.
Opener Martin Guptill offered resistance with a half-century but fell when Jason Roy clung on to a low diving catch at deep mid-wicket.
In the following over Roy took an even better catch at backward point, taking the ball one-handed high to his right, as Henry Nicholls became Stokes' first victim.
Jonny Bairstow ran out Colin de Grandhomme with an accurate throw from the deep before Stokes claimed two run outs of his own.
The first saw the back of Tim Southee following a fumble at mid-wicket while the second brought an end to the New Zealand innings with two balls remaining as Trent Boult pushed for a second run.
