Jonny Bairstow, Player of the Match: "Really pleased, we knew these were must-win games, the performances in a couple of games hadn't been quite up to scratch. On a different day we could have been bowling first, but the guys applied themselves pretty well. I think batting with Jason for a period of time helps. You understand each other's games and moods. NZ are a class side, so we needed to put in a performance today, and we're pleased to do that after a tough few weeks."

16:48 hrs IST: Double off the last ball for Root. England going well here. Anything around 340-350 should be a winning score. In such a pressure game, the Kiwis would find it difficult to chase. England are 161/1 after 25 overs. Bairstow 76*, Root 16*

13:19 hrs IST: STAT ATTACK - England have won three of their last four ODIs against New Zealand. It is a different story in their World Cup rivalry, where England won the first three meetings between the teams but have since lost five in a row.

13:15 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the ICC World Cup 2019 match between hosts England and last edition's finalists, New Zealand. 

England made a fine start by winning four of their opening five games, but defeats to Sri Lanka and Australia inflicted major blows. They were impressive in their previous encounter against India, with Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes all scoring well.

Bairstow (111) and Roy, who made 66 following his return from a hamstring injury, put on 160 for the opening wicket before the in-form Stokes hit 79, his third successive half-century, to boost the total to 337/7.

England, bidding to win their first World Cup, then kept things tight in the field, with Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett taking wickets in the middle overs.

"Winning a game like this, under the pressure we were under, can only stand us in good stead, potentially for the New Zealand game and hopefully after that," said Woakes.

New Zealand, on the other hand, also began the tournament in style, but losses to Pakistan and Australia hurt their progress.

An attack led by left-arm quick Trent Boult, who took a hattrick against Australia, and Lockie Ferguson is a testing proposition for any side.

But New Zealand look over-reliant on captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor for runs.

Colin Munro was dropped for the Australia game, while Martin Guptill has managed just 85 runs from six innings since his half-century against Sri Lanka.

"We're still in charge of our destination and where we're heading, and that's always a nice thing to have," said Craig McMillan, New Zealand's batting coach.

"Obviously (Guptill and Latham) are short on runs but we're excited by the fact that we haven't quite clicked as a batting group yet."
