TOSS - England have won the toss and will BAT first.

On the other hand, New Zealand had lost the opening two games of the T20I series but bounced back and won the remaining two to level the series. They started the ODI series on a high note by winning the first game but lost the following two and are 2-1 behind in this series. Boult has been amazing so far, and the side will look for others to perform well in this game before entering the World Cup. So, who will win? We shall find out soon. Toss and team news to follow shortly...

So, England have been trying different combinations with their side in both the batting and bowling units. Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root have been struggling with their batting so far. The skipper Jos Buttler and Livingstone look in brilliant form. The positives from their last game was the blistering 182-run knock from Ben Stokes which helped them win the last game comprehensively.

A very warm welcome folks! We have reached to the last game of this dazzling four-match ODI series of the New Zealand tour of Egland. The hosts are leading the series by 2-1 as of now and the final game will be held at the most historic venue of Lords. Earlier, the T20I series between these sides ended in a 2-2 draw. Can New Zealand level this series as well and walk out of this tour with their heads held high? Or will England win this series before coming to the mega event in India? Stay tuned to find out, as this game promises to be a cracker.

... MATCH DAY ...
