England vs. New Zealand, 4th ODI: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info, Preview

New Zealand get the chance to wrap up the one-day series against England, with a game to spare, when the two teams go head-to-head again on Wednesday. 

Victory at the Ageas Bowl in the last match means the Kiwis are now 2-1 up with two to play, starting with a day-night fixture at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. 

England has seen some green shoots of recovery after their dismal performances at the Cricket World Cup, though they need back-to-back victories if they are to record their first series triumph at home since 2012.

Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2015

Time: 2 p.m. BST

Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham, England

Weather: Conditions will be fine for the start of the day-nighter, per BBC Weather, but a strong breeze could bring in some rain as the contest wears on.

Overview

England's best-laid plans were dealt a blow when pace duo Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett both suffered injuries in the second ODI that ruled them out of the rest of the series, per Sky Sports.

The solution to the problem has been to make it a family affair—twin brothers Craig and Jamie Overton, both of Somerset, have been called up as replacements.

It remains to be seen if they will get to play, though Jamie admitted—per BBC Sport—that there is healthy competition between the siblings: "We've always had that bit of rivalry between us. One has always had that little step ahead, and then the other has always caught up and gone ahead—that has helped us."

The hosts fielded Mark Wood and David Willey in place of Jordan and Plunkett at the Ageas Bowl, and the pair did their cause no harm.

Wood showed excellent pace as he picked up one for 44 from his 10 overs, the most economical spell completed by a bowler from either side so far in the series.

Left-armer Willey, meanwhile, knocked over Martin Guptill early on his way to figures of three for 69. He also dismissed Kane Williamson, though not before the batsman had reached his century.

Ross Taylor also struck a ton for New Zealand, helping the tourists move past England's total of 302 all out, with three wickets and six balls to spare.

The home side should have posted a bigger score in their innings, but their desire to play an attacking brand of cricket led to them being bowled out with more than four overs to spare.

Skipper Eoin Morgan, however, told Sky Sports that they would continue to be "positive": "I think for a while now we've always played within ourselves and always batted up before the end but for a long time we were looking like getting 350-plus, and that's exciting to see, particularly when we're trying to change our mentality with the bat.

Injuries are hurting New Zealand, too. Trent Boult will sit out the remaining games of the tour because of a stress-related back problem, per Alan Gardner of ESPN Cricinfo.

Corey Anderson was already sidelined with a similar issue, leaving the Black Caps without two key members of the side that reached the World Cup final earlier this year.

Young seamer Ben Wheeler was handed a debut in the last match, the left-arm seamer picking up three for 63 in a match where England lost their last five wickets for just 14 runs.

The tourists have also drafted in Colin Munro, who has been playing county cricket for Worcestershire, to bolster their numbers, per sportal.co.nz.

Key players

England

Eoin Morgan has looked rejuvenated at the start of the summer: He has scored runs consistently (three successive half-centuries) since being moved up to bat at four in the order.

The captain has also been impressive in the field, looking for wickets rather than only being concerned about containment. It is vital the Irishman continues to be positive at all times.

New Zealand

With the outstanding Boult no longer available, there is even more responsibility on the shoulders of his new-ball partner, Tim Southee.

The seamer has an impressive strike rate of 35.2 in 50-over cricket, and his skipper, Brendon McCullum, will lean on him in times of need.
