    Good news for the Kiwis in this crucial game as the coin comes down in their favour.

    They're playing on the same pitch that New Zealand beat Sri Lanka on a couple of days ago and that turned a fair bit, so no surprise that Mitchell Santner opts to bat first.

    Chasing on this pitch is likely to be tricky but that's what England are faced with.

    Well, this is a slightly odd feeling. An England match at a World Cup that isn't all or nothing. It's quite unnerving.

    That's because Harry Brook's magnificent century against Pakistan ensured his side will play in the semi-finals regardless of the result today against New Zealand.

    It's far from a dead rubber, though, with the Black Caps needing a win to secure their own progression to the last four, while England will want to continue this positive momentum and win the group in the process.

    Plenty to play for then so let's get over to the toss...
