England vs. New Zealand, 2nd ODI: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info, Preview

England will be looking to build on their emphatic win in Birmingham when the one-day series against New Zealand shifts to the Oval, London, on Friday.

The hosts recorded a 210-run triumph at Edgbaston on Tuesday to go 1-0 up in the five-match series. It was their biggest victory ever when batting first in a match.

The Kiwis, meanwhile, will want to get back to the form they displayed during the Cricket World Cup earlier in the year. They had won 10 games on the spin before defeat to Australia in the tournament final.

Weather: It will be warm with the possibility of thundery showers on Friday, according to BBC Weather, meaning we could see delays to proceedings, particularly during the evening.

Overview

England could not have asked for a better start to their one-day summer than the display they turned in at the home of Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

Put in to bat, centuries from Joe Root and Jos Buttler helped the home team amass 408 for nine. It was their highest score ever in a 50-over fixture, passing the 391 for seven they made against Bangladesh in 2005.

It was also the perfect response to a miserable Cricket World Cup campaign where they failed to make it out of their group.

Opposing captain Brendon McCullum was certainly impressed, per Sky Sports: "It was the complete performance by England. Special performances from Joe Root and Jos Buttler, I thought they were outstanding and to post 400 in any game is outstanding, credit to England, they blew us off the park."

Now, though, England have to show they are capable of doing it on more than one occasion in a series.

While no one will expect them to make scores in excess of 400 every time they go out to bat, they can continue to play with the same freedom they displayed on Tuesday.

Jason Roy and debutant Sam Billings both failed in their first knocks for England's ODI side (the former actually played against Ireland in the washed-out game earlier in the summer, but he never made it to the crease).

Opener Roy fell to the first ball of the match without troubling the scorers, while wicketkeeper-batsman Billings, who did not don the gloves due to Buttler's presence in the XI, was leg before wicket for three. 

James Taylor, David Willey and Mark Wood were the three unused players in England's 14-man squad.

As for New Zealand, they will be eager to prove that the opening defeat was just a blip.

The vast majority of the side that reached the Cricket World Cup final earlier this year are still in place, though Tim Southee was "rested" for the opening ODI, per Stuff.co.nz.

Mitchell McClenaghan was picked in Southee's place but found the going tough, the left-arm paceman conceding 93 from his 10 overs. 

With Daniel Vettori now retired from international action, all-rounder Mitchell Santner was handed a debut. He took one for 64 in eight overs with his left-arm off-spin, then contributed 15 with the bat.

The visitors actually reached 160 for three in their unsuccessful chase, only to then lose their last seven wickets for the addition of just 38 runs. They were bowled out in 31.1 overs.

However, the Black Caps do not need to panic just yet. They won the last one-dayer they played at the Oval, beating England by one wicket in 2008 in a game that was marred by the controversial run out of Grant Elliot.

The batsman collided with bowler Ryan Sidebottom while attempting to sneak a single, with England whipping off the bails, while the stricken Elliot was laid out on the floor.

England captain Paul Collingwood decided not to withdraw the appeal despite boos from the home crowd, though he would later apologise for his decision, per David Hopps of the Guardian.

Key players

England

While Buttler blasted his way to the second-fastest century ever scored by an Englishman, it was Root who gave the innings early momentum at Edgbaston.

The Yorkshireman's promotion up the order to bat at three paid off, as he made 104 from just 78 deliveries. Considering Root was dismissed in the 25th over, it is quite plausible to suggest a double hundred had been there for the taking.

What Root always seems to provide England with is momentum, whether it is in limited-overs cricket or Test action. He is busy at the crease and constantly looking to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

New Zealand

Brendon McCullum's first task on Friday will be to make the right choice at the toss: His decision to bowl first backfired spectacularly in the first game.

His batting in his side's response was frenetic, even if he did make 10 from the first three balls he faced.

The fourth saw him bowled, as he looked to heave Steve Finn somewhere into the centre of Birmingham. New Zealand needs better than that from their inspirational skipper.
