New Zealand (Playing XI) - Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (WK), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Rachin Ravindra (In for Devon Conway), Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee (C), Matt Henry.

England (Playing XI) - Jonny Bairstow (WK), Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali (C), Sam Curran (In for Jos Buttler), Rehan Ahmed (In for Chris Jordan), Brydon Carse (In for Gus Atkinson), Adil Rashid, Luke Wood.

TOSS - England have won the coin toss and they have opted to BAT first.

New Zealand, on the other hand, is on the road to making a comeback here. After losing the first two matches by a long margin they dominated the third one and won it by 74 runs. After an early dismissal of Devon Conway, Finn Allen handled the innings really well and scored 83 runs. Glenn Phillips was the next to perform well as he batted aggressively and took apart the bowlers with his 69 run innings. Their bowlers were also in good rhythm and took timely wickets, not allowing the opposition batters to build partnerships. All in all it was an all round performance by the team to get their first victory of this series. This is going to be a high-octane clash as the hosts will try to win this series by winning this match while the visitors will try to level the series with their victory. Who will come out on top? We will know soon. Stay with us as we bring you the toss and team news shortly.

England had a great start to the series winning the first two matches very comfortably. They looked to dominate the series but a loss in the third match pulled their momentum down. Their spinners did not perform well in the last match and leaked many runs. In the batting department their skipper, Jos Buttler was the only batter to perform well in the chase after a languid start. They were bowled out for 128 runs. They should look to build strong partnerships in the middle phases. The form of Will Jacks and Dawid Malan will concern the batting lineup so let’s hope they can regain their form in this match.

Hello and a very warm welcome folks! We are awaiting the final match of the 4-match T20I series between England and New Zealand. England are currently leading the series by 2-1. This is expected to be an exciting clash at Nottingham as both teams will want to end the series with a win.

... MATCH DAY ...

Another bilateral series is coming to an end as we shift our focus to the fourth and deciding T20I between England and New Zealand at Trent Bridge. The hosts took a 2-0 lead with a couple of dominating performances but they suffered a very disappointing loss in the last game as the Kiwis made it 2-1 to force a decider. However, they can chalk it out as a bad day at the office and focus on this one now. Jonny Bairstow has been in good form at the top of the order along with Will Jacks, but Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone haven't made much of an impact. Harry Brook has also proved his worth to some extent and will look to continue that while Moeen Ali and skipper Jos Buttler provide much more balance to the middle order. Their bowling wasn't great in the last match after bringing back Chris Jordan and Luke Wood, but Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse did well in the previous two games with Adil Rashid handling the spin department. It is expected that Sam Curran will be back for this one as he can contribute in both departments and be the difference between the two sides. New Zealand, on the other hand, finally played like a top-quality side and won in a convincing manner and they would hope for more of the same here too. Their bowling was on point with Kyle Jamieson and Ish Sodhi stepping up big time for them while captain Tim Southee also supported them well. Matt Henry and Mitchell Santner make their attack even stronger. Finn Allen came back to form with a brilliant knock in the last game but Glenn Phillips has been their best batter in this series with 132 runs and will be key in their middle order. They also have quality players like Devon Conway, Tim Seifert, and Daryl Mitchell who will all need to contribute more if they want to finish the series on level terms. Will they be able to make it 2-2? Or will England take it home? We will find out soon.
