Buoyant New Zealand take on England in the second One-Day International (ODI) at Rose Bowl with the hope to complete a surprising series win.

New Zealand cruised to a five-wicket victory against England in the first ODI at Lord’s on Friday thanks to Martin Guptill’s unbeaten 103.

New Zealand chased down a 228-run target set in 46.5 overs. Guptill pulled a delivery through square-leg when the scores were tied to take the visitors’ score to 231 for five.

The New Zealand innings, though, did not start on a positive note as England seamer James Anderson dismissed Luke Ronchi and Kane Williamson for ducks.

But Guptill stitched together a 120-run partnership with Ross Taylor (54) for the third wicket. Taylor also was sent packing by Anderson.
 
Grant Elliott (27) then added an important 47-run stand with Guptill. Off-spinner Graeme Swann and Jade Dernbach took a wicket each to restrict the visitors at 185 for five, but it wasn’t to be enough.
 
James Franklin (16 not out) came in and calmed things down as the Kiwis won in the end to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Teams:

England: Alastair Cook (c), Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler (wk), Chris Woakes, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann, Jade Dernbach, James Anderson
