Live Cricket Score of New Zealand vs England, 9th Match, Pool A, ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

New Zealand and England couldn't have had a more contrasting start to the World Cup. After suffering a trouncing at the hands of Australia, England now travel to Wellington to face the other co-hosts of the tournament, also incidentally in equally good form. New Zealand, on the other hand, dispatched Sri Lanka rather convincingly in their tournament opener and despite stuttering to a victory against Scotland, they would look to establish their dominance in favourable conditions.

While New Zealand would be looking to keeping England captain Eoin Morgan under the pump, they very well know that Ross Taylor hasn't had the best of times with the bat either, and therein lies a chink in their armour.

Also on view will be two equally impressive bowling attacks squaring off against each other. While James Anderson and co. didn't find their rhythm against Australia, New Zealand's bowlers have been spot on in both their previous matches and would look to do more of the same against England.

England have won the toss and have opted to bat

Morgan: The guys have trained really hard. We look to improve in all three departments. We will bat first. The wicket looks good, it might not change much. We are going in with the same team. Hopefully I will get some runs under the belt.

McCullum: Cricket is obviously important for the country at the moment. The tag doesn't matter once the game gets underway. We would have batted as well. Looks a good wicket. We are unchanged for this game. We were lucky that we have played a lot of cricket.

Teams:

New Zealand: Brendon McCullum(c), Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Corey Anderson, Luke Ronchi(w), Daniel Vettori, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Trent Boult.
