Recent Match Report – England vs New Zealand 4th ODI 2023

England won the toss and bat first vs New Zealand Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bat first in the fourth and final ODI against New Zealand, having named a team with three changes from the 181-run victory at The Oval on Wednesday, but notably Jason Roy was not one of them.Roy, who missed the first three matches after suffering back spasms, appeared to be fit to take part after his involvement in England's pre-match warm-ups.

Recent Match Report – England vs New Zealand 1st ODI 2023

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bowl versus England England have handed Harry Brook a chance to open the batting and stake a dramatic claim for a last-minute World Cup berth, after Jason Roy suffered a back spasm and was ruled out of the first ODI against New Zealand at Cardiff.With Jonny Bairstow also missing out after picking up a shoulder niggle in last week's fourth T20I against the same opponents, Brook will be batting alongside another of his more obvious rivals for a batting berth, Dawid Malan, who suffered a lean run in the T20Is but has been one of England's form batters in the 50-over format of late, with four centuries in the past 14 months.Both men will be straight into the action at a sunny Sophia Gardens, after Tom Latham won the toss and chose to bowl first, in Ne...

Recent Match Report – New Zealand vs England 3rd T20I 2023

Toss New Zealand chose to bat vs EnglandNew Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first on a blazing September day in Birmingham, with Tim Southee looking for a response from his side after being swept aside in the opening two matches.The visitors made two changes, Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry (who was player of the match in the T20 Blast final at Edgbaston in July) coming in for Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson - but stuck with the same batting line-up that was dismantled for 103 in the second T20I at Old Trafford on Friday.Jos Buttler admitted he, too, would have preferred to bat on a dry, late-summer surface. England also rotated their line-up, bringing back Luke Wood after the left-armer sat out the second game and Chris Jordan - their most experienced seamer in the format, but who only...

Match Preview – England vs New Zealand, New Zealand in England 2023, 1st T20I

Big picture: Back to the 20-over format Roll up, roll up! We've had rollercoaster men's and women's Ashes, the Hundred has enjoyed its month in the spotlight… but there's still room in the sardine can for a bilateral white-ball series or three!

As such, the T20Is provide more of an opportunity to test the hosts' depth, ahead of another global event in the US and Caribbean next year - altho...
