England\u2019s preparations for the Cricket World Cup continue as they take on New Zealand in a four-match warm-up series. The third ODI takes place this afternoon at The Oval in London with the series delicately poised at 1-1 following New Zealand\u2019s stomping victory in the first game and England\u2019s impressive comeback at Southampton.<\/p>\n
Liam Livingstone was the star of the show at the Ageas Bowl scoring 95 not out in a rain-affected affair after England had earlier been reduced to 8-3. The hosts set a total of 226-7 from their 34 overs and the Kiwis were unable to mount an effective run chase. Wickets consistently fell despite Daryl Mitchell attempting to steady the ship with a fine knock of 57. David Willey and Reece Topley each took three wickets as New Zealand were bowled out for 147.<\/p>\n
England now head into the third match with confidence but there are questions to be asked of their senior players. Joe Root has twiced been dismissed cheaply and Ben Stokes will hope to find a bit of rhythm with the bat ahead of the World Cup in India this October.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know where he\u2019s at fitness-wise, but he\u2019s bowling good wheels out there today,\u201d David Willey said about Archer\u2019s return. <\/p>\n \u201cEveryone knows how good is he is, what he\u2019s capable of and how he can impact games. So to have him close or not far away from being fit is obviously fantastic news.\u201d<\/p>\n Access unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n Sign up now for a 30-day free trial<\/p>\n Access unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n Sign up now for a 30-day free trial<\/p>\nRecommended<\/h3>\n
