Stewart Downing gone. Get in!
A comfortable win for England in the end.
Tormenting us again. Although it wasn't a great ball, Bairstow will be annoyed he picked out the fielder rather than crashing it to the boundary.
Time for Root to be dropped from ODIs perhaps?
Nah, he's too good and as one of our better players of spin, will be an important player for the world cup. That's not even considering him being able to bowl some overs if needed as well.
I would have liked to have seen Duckett be involved though. I know there's a lot of focus on Brook but I think Duckett would be a handy top order bat for us.
Root's form at a crucial time is concerning.
Not sure but other than Malan, the top order bats aren't making it hard for him to get back into XI when he gets fit.
I didn’t expect him to be dropped, to be honest. Think we’ll go with him and Bairstow opening because it’s a proven partnership, albeit Roy isn’t the player he once was.
Grate partnership from these two.
Ben Stokes
Decent ODI record but he's good enough to have scored more hundreds. Maybe batting higher is the best thing for him.
Sad that Malan couldn't get his hundred but he's done his job, put on a partnership after England lost early wickets and get the big hitters like Butler, Moeen, Livingstone and Curran to smash some runs.
Smashing stuff from Stokes.
Brilliant from Stokes....poor we've been bowled out mind.
should have got 400, still a huge score for NZ to chase though , amazing hitting from Stokes, such clean contact with the bat has the ball went sailing into the crowd on numerous occasion
Ffs could have gone past 400.
Looks like Will young didn't have the X factor and has been voted off
Some wild swinging from their batsman here
The kiwis appear to have flown the nest today
A drawing board has been delivered to their dressing room as we speak
