Liam Livingstone Turns Tide As England Beat New Zealand In 2nd ODI

Liam Livingstone's unbeaten 95 powered England to a 79-run win over New Zealand in the second one-day international in Southampton on Sunday. England, who begin the defence of their World Cup title against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on October 5, collapsed to 8-3 in a match reduced by rain to 34 overs per side. They were still struggling at 55-5 in the 13th over when Livingstone came into bat. But he took England to 226-7 and New Zealand were then dismissed for 147 as the hosts levelled the four-match series at 1-1 Reece Topley, whose 3-27 ended a wait of over a year for an ODI wicket, and fellow left-arm quick David Willey (3-34) did the damage with the ball.

After being held to a 2-2 draw in the T20I series, England aim to bounce back to winning ways in the first ODI against New Zealand in Cardiff. The ODI series marks the return of senior pros like Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, Jason Roy among others, who look to get some game time under their belt ahead of the World Cup in India next month. Harry Brook has been given a further chance to force his way into side after being left out of the preliminary squad for the tournament. As for New Zealand, they are still without Kane Williamson, who is still recovering from an injury. However, Trent Boult's return is a massive boost for the Kiwis as they look to prepare for the World Cup. Notably, both teams contested the final of the previous World Cup, and square in the tournament opener this time around.
