England bat first, however Jason Roy omitted from XI as soon as once more

England received the toss and bat first vs New Zealand

Jos Buttler received the toss and selected to bat first within the fourth and remaining ODI towards New Zealand, having named a workforce with three modifications from the 181-run victory at The Oval on Wednesday, however notably Jason Roy was not one in all them.

Roy, who missed the primary three matches after struggling again spasms, gave the impression to be match to participate after his involvement in England’s pre-match warm-ups. However, he has not been risked, with England selecting as soon as once more to open with Jonny Bairstow and the in-form Dawid Malan – whose 96 at The Oval seems to have cemented his standing as a first-choice decide.

Ben Stokes sits this match out after his emphatic assertion of type on Wednesday, when he cracked an England-record 182. Harry Brook is again in his most popular No.4 place after two alternatives as an opener, and has one other probability to make his World Cup case after lacking out on the provisional 15-man squad earlier this month.

The different notable change is the inclusion of Brydon Carse – one other man who was not initially within the ODI set-up, however whose type within the T20Is merited his addition to the squad. He is available in for fellow fast Gus Atkinson, and can fill the mid-innings pitch-hitting position that Liam Plunkett carried out with such aplomb in England’s and New Zealand’s final assembly on this floor, within the World Cup remaining 4 years in the past. David Willey for Chris Woakes is England’s remaining change.

For New Zealand, Tim Southee and Matt Henry swap in for fellow quicks Lockie Ferguson and Trent Boult. Tom Latham, their captain, admitted that he too would have batted first after shedding his first toss of the collection, however promised his workforce would “play our way” regardless.
