Curran and rain to the rescue for wobbly England against New Zealand in T20 opener

The article discusses England's performance in the first T20 match against New Zealand. Despite a wobbly start, Sam Curran's unbeaten 49 runs helped England reach a respectable score of 153-6. Even before the rain interrupted play, England's batters were surprised by the movement off the seam and struggled against the spin of Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell. Only two batters, including Jos Buttler, scored more than 20 runs. However, Curran's crucial innings helped improve England's outlook before the rain ultimately came to their rescue. The article highlights Curran's value as a "very valuable player" to the England team.
