England vs. New Zealand, 3rd ODI: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info, Preview

England and New Zealand head to the Ageas Bowl in Southampton locked together at 1-1 in their five-match one-day series.

The third game, which gets underway at 10.30 a.m, has a lot to live up to after Edgbaston and the Oval provided hugely entertaining encounters that saw plenty of runs.

The hosts scored 408 for nine—their highest ever ODI total—to win the opener in Birmingham, only for the Black Caps to battle back in a day-nighter on Friday that was hampered towards the end by rain.

Weather: After a cool start to the day, temperatures will lift during Sunday afternoon, according to met office.gov.uk, though there is a small possibility of rain hindering play.

Overview 

In two matches, England has gone a long way to burying the memory of their miserable campaign at the Cricket World Cup.

They have certainly looked a different side when it comes to batting, following up their first 400-plus score in the opening ODI, with 365 for nine in a losing cause at the Oval.

Skipper Eoin Morgan was pleased with the way they played in defeat, telling Sky Sports: "It's a great lesson for our youngsters, the fact that we did come so close to chasing 399, so it's not a bad day for us and it's a continuation of the way we want to play our cricket."

The English weather did not help the home side in their run chase. They needed 54 from 37 deliveries when the heavens opened, forcing the players from the field.

When they returned, the Duckworth-Lewis system had altered the requirement to 34 from the 13. England ended up 13 runs short, though they did post their biggest ever score batting second, as confirmed by S Rajesh of ESPN Cricinfo.

There is a short turnaround before the two sides take the field again on Sunday, and England could have to make an enforced change to their XI.

As George Dobell made reference to in his ESPN Cricinfo report, Chris Jordan was unable to bowl his 10th and final over after "appearing to sustain a side strain." He also batted below Liam Plunkett, having been down on the scorecard to come in at the fall of the seventh wicket.

The other seam-bowling options in England's squad are Durham's Mark Wood and Northamptonshire all-rounder David Willey, who would bring a left-arm option to the attack.

New Zealand, meanwhile, will be unable to call upon Corey Anderson for the rest of the series. A back injury, per BBC Sport, has forced the all-rounder to cut shot his tour.

The Kiwis reached a major landmark at the Oval, as ESPN Cricinfo tweeted it was their 300th victory in ODI cricket.

Brendon McCullum admitted, per Sky Sports, that he feared his side's total of 398 for five was not going to be enough at one stage: "I thought 400 was a good start, but there are no guarantees in this day and age—the wicket was pure, the outfield was fast and the players that they possess are always going to be dangerous."

The tourists have good memories of travelling to Southampton—they recorded an 86-run win at the venue in 2013, Martin Guptill leading the way with a stunning knock of 189 not out, according to HowStat.com.

Captain Morgan, wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and batsman Joe Root are the only three England players in the current squad who appeared in that game two years ago.

Key players

England

Runs have not been an issue for England so far. However, their bowlers endured a tough day at the office on Friday.

Steven Finn picked up one for 69 from his 10 overs and, with Jordan a doubt, he needs to step up and lead the attack. Wickets up front are going to be crucial in deciding the outcome of the series.

New Zealand

Trent Boult has been the outstanding bowler in the series to date. The left-arm seamer is the only player on either side who has an economy rate of under six.

He has continued on from his fine performances at the Cricket World Cup, where he finished level with Australia's Mitchell Starc at the top of the wicket-taking charts.
