England beat New Zealand at Durham to seal their spot in the semi-finals for the first time since the 1992 edition. Jonny Bairstow, who smashed 106 off 99 balls to become the first Englishman to score back-to-back hundreds in a World Cup, was mainly responsible for taking the hosts to 305 for eight on a pitch that got slower as the game progressed.
