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

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
