New Zealand vs England highlights, 1st ODI: New Zealand beat England by 4 wickets

New Zealand vs England 1st ODI Live Cricket Score: New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl on Sunday in the first of three one-day internationals against England, which form part of England’s build-up to the Ashes in Australia, less than a month away.

England welcome back Joe Root, Ben Duckett, and Jamie Smith, who missed the three-match T20 series against New Zealand that was heavily affected by rain. Jofra Archer was available for selection but has been rested. Allrounder Sam Curran and fast bowler Luke Wood also have opportunities to impress ahead of the Ashes.

For New Zealand, Kane Williamson returns after a seven-month break, having last played in an ODI against India in Dubai in March. Opener Will Young, Tom Latham, and Nathan Smith also rejoin the side after missing the T20 series.

New Zealand captain Mitch Santner admitted he was undecided after winning the toss, noting that while the Bay Oval pitch has some grass, it also appears conducive to batting. England captain Harry Brook said he would have chosen to bat if he had won the toss. A strong wind blowing across the ground is expected to influence play.

The first Ashes Test is scheduled in Perth from November 21 to 25.

Lineups:

New Zealand: Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Zak Foulkes, Nathan Smith, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry

England: Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (captain), Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood

New Zealand vs England 1st ODI Live Cricket Score: New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl in the first of three one-day internationals against England on Sunday. The series acts as part of England’s preparation for the Ashes in Australia, which begins in less than a month.

England welcomed back Joe Root, Ben Duckett, and Jamie Smith, all of whom missed the recent three-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand that was heavily affected by rain. Jofra Archer was available for selection but has been rested. Allrounder Sam Curran and fast bowler Luke Wood will also be looking to make a case for Ashes inclusion.

Kane Williamson returns to the New Zealand side after a seven-month absence, having last played an ODI against India in Dubai in March. Opener Will Young, Tom Latham, and Nathan Smith are also back after missing the T20 series.

New Zealand captain Mitch Santner admitted he was unsure about his approach after winning the toss. “While there is some grass on the pitch at Bay Oval, it also looks like it will be good for batting,” he said. England skipper Harry Brook added that he would have batted had he won the toss. A strong wind sweeping across Bay Oval is expected to influence conditions during the match.

The first Ashes Test is scheduled to be played in Perth from November 21 to 25.

Lineups:

New Zealand: Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Zak Foulkes, Nathan Smith, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry.

England: Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (captain), Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood.
