England, on the other hand, are on a comeback here. They are coming into this match after a comfortable victory in the last one.

A win in this match could put them a step ahead of their opposition and boost the team's confidence. This is expected to be a thrilling encounter between these very strong teams so grab a cup of coffee and join us as we bring you the live coverage. Toss and team news to follow soon.

The visitors, New Zealand, had easily chased down a big target in the first ODI. Their bowling attack seemed to take a blow in the match as they were put under pressure from the opposition many times but their batters sealed the game in their favour. New Zealand faltered in the second ODI and had to face a loss. They started off the match well by dismissing the top order of the opposition very well but, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran smashed them all around the ground to take their team to a good total. Their batting unit wasn't able to perform well and crumbled under pressure. Will Young and Daryl Mitchell were the only batters to score above 20 runs and they were eventually bowled out under 150 runs. New Zealand will want to win this match to gain the lead in the series and get back to winning ways.

Hello and a very warm welcome folks. We arrive at the Kennington Oval for the 3rd ODI between the finalists of the last cricket World CUP, England and New Zealand. With less than a month to go before the World Cup, this series is very crucial for both teams to try their squads. The series is level at 1-1 with both teams winning a match. There is one match left after this one and both teams will be fighting hard to clinch the series.

... MATCH DAY ...

The road to the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup is almost complete and two teams who are real contenders for that elusive trophy go head-to-head yet again as England take on New Zealand in Match number 3 of the four-match ODI series at the Kennington Oval in London. An iconic venue in recent years and with the series level at 1-1, this is a crucial encounter as either side can take an unassailable lead in the series. The first two games have provided plenty of entertainment as New Zealand chased down a big target in the first match without much of a fuss and then England demolished the opposition in a rain-affected second game. Batting first, England were four wickets down in a jiffy before skipper Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali did the repair work. After this though there was still a lot to do and then Liam Livingstone showed his prowess scoring a thunderous 95 alongside Sam Curran who himself got 42 big runs as well. On the bowling front, it was a brilliant showing from the home team as Reece Topley was at his wicket-taking best and was well-helped by the likes of David Willey and Moeen Ali. As for the Kiwis, Trent Boult enjoyed a superb return to the national side as he ran through the English top order like he has done on so many other occasions. Matt Henry was impressive too early on but one issue was the lack of control in the middle overs and the experienced Tim Southee proved to be very expensive. Coming to their batting, Finn Allen yet again proved to be an early casualty but the middle order yet again put on a fight as Will Young played a gritty knock and then Daryl Mitchell who simply loves to play against England notched up yet another half-century. However, there was no other batter that put runs on the board and they were bundled out for just 147. As the World Cup draws near, both sides will be looking to put on a strong show with both the bat and the ball. Which side will be able to grab bragging rights and get that crucial 2-1 lead? We shall see.
