England continued its prime form to beat New Zealand in the World Twenty20 Super Eights in St .Lucia Monday, knocking the Kiwis out of the tournament and putting Pakistan through. Pakistan eliminated South Africa earlier before England secured its passage to the last four after reaching its target of 150 with five balls to spare. Michael Lumb (32) and Eoin Morgan (40) were the top scorers for England, who were already assured a place in the semis. New Zealand went into the game needing to win but was some way short of a challenging total despite a smart knock of 44 from Ross Taylor. Although England lost opener Craig Kieswetter for 15 in the third over, they raced to 50 inside six overs. England lost three quick wickets, Ravi Bopara, Lumb and skipper Paul Collingwood, to slip to 66 for four which offered some hope to New Zealand. But Luke Wright Eoin Morgan to adde 52 runs for the fifth wicket and it was left to all-rounder Tim Bresnan to help finish things off with a brisk 23. Pietersen hopes for swift return after son's birth England cricketer Kevin Pietersen hopes to make a hasty return to the West Indies after heading back to Britain Monday for the birth of his baby son, his spokesman said. A spokesman said the baby, whose name has not yet been announced, was born without complication and the new addition to the family and his mother Jessica Taylor were doing well. __
