England vs New Zealand 1st ODI Live Score:After wrapping up the T20I series 2-1, a full-strength England team gears up for the ODI challenge against New Zealand, with the first match of the series taking place in Cardiff. England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who took a u-turn on the decision to retire from ODI cricket, will be in the spotlight as the defending champions look to go the distance in the World Cup this time as well. New Zealand, who were the finalists when England became World Champions four years ago, will be without their talismanic skipper Kane Williamson in the series. (LIVE Scorecard)
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.
England's young batter has another opportunity to prove his case for inclusion in the 15-man squad for the World Cup, following his inclusion in the four-match ODI series against New Zealand. Since Brook got snubbed from England's ODI World Cup squad, he has shown his worth in The Hundred scoring an unbeaten century and hitting 43* and 67 in their first two T20Is against the Kiwis. If he continues to replicate his recent performances, the likes of Jason Roy, Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone will be a bit worried about their position in the team.
