New Zealand vs England Live Cricket Score 1st ODI: Kiwis will aim to kickstart series with a win against Three Lions. (File Photo)
New Zealand won the toss and elected to field first. Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy came out to open the innings for England. Trent Boult and Tim Southee kept strict line and lengths early on the game, not letting both the explosive batsman take charge. With the pressure building, Bairstow lost his cool and gave away an easy catch to Ross Taylor, giving Boult his first wicket. He departed on 4 in 13 balls as England went down 10/1 at the end of 4 overs. Jason Roy and Joe Root stitched a solid 79-run partnership with Jason Roy reaching 49* in 65 balls. But the opener missed out on his fifty as he was dismissed by Mitchell Santner, with a straighter delivery that found an odd-little turn, and went on to hit the stumps. Ish Sodhi dismissed skipper Eoin Morgan just a couple of overs after Roy’s wicket. Ben Stokes and Joe Root took England to 119/3 in 25 overs.

WICKET! Colin Munro strikes and Joe Root is GONE for 71. Slow delivery and Root completely missed it as the ball went on to hit the stumps. HUGE WICKET. ENG 181/5
Jos Buttler has been unleashed here and he has smacked Ish Sodhi for three back-to-back sixes. He is on fire at the moment.
30 overs gone, England are 141/4. Joe Root and Jos Buttler are in the middle. Can they take England to a comfortable total?
WICKET! A disappointing return for Ben Stokes - he is gone for 12 on Mitchell Santner's delivery. The spinner pitched it fuller, Stokes tried to sweep it towards leg but the ball took an awkward bounce, got a leading edge and went to Ross Taylor. ENG 139/4
Joe Root has completed his 27th fifty in 53 balls. In spite of a slow run rate, Root has played with a solid strike rate and he can only power the innings in the depth overs. What a player!

It is the much-awaited return for Ben Stokes in the middle. How much runs will he score in his comeback innings today?

Mitchell Santner has come into the attack after the drinks. New Zealand would want to break this partnership as soon as possible. The longer it goes, the more dangerous it will become.
New Zealand have reached 84/1 in 18 overs and it has been a solid partnership between the two. The last ball before the drinks break from Ish Sodhi was smacked off for a straight six by Jason Roy. His first one in the match.
