    Right, time to wrap it up after an exhilarating day of cricket in which England have finally produced the superb ODI performance that we were all wondering whether they were capable of. Joe Root and Jos Buttler were superb with the bat, and Adil Rashid and Steven Finn starred with the ball, and the result was England's biggest ever ODI win.

    Can England keep the feelgood factor going? Join us on Friday at 12:00 BST for the second ODI to find out. Until then, goodbye.

  3. Player reactionpublished at 21:12 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    England all-rounder Adil Rashid on Sky Sports: "I thought we played exceptionally well as a team. I chipped in with a few runs so that gives you confidence with the ball. You go through ups and downs in cricket and that obviously affected my cricket in all forms. I was probably a bit immature in 2009 and I've changed my mindset and become a more positive cricketer. I don't think I could have asked for a better day today, I hope I can carry it on. Today was a special day for this young team we've got and hopefully now we can kick on to the Oval and repeat what we've done."

    England batsman Jos Buttler is named man of the match for his innings of 129 off 77 balls.

    He says: "With 400 on the board we could be attacking and the pressure was on them. It was a pleasing win and gives everyone confidence going forward.

    "There was a game within a game there [at 200-6]. Brendon used a lot of his frontline bowlers to try and get me and Adil out but we saw that out and it allowed us to attack later in the innings.

    "The way we started the innings gave us plenty of time. Credit to Joe Root on the way he played. It gave everyone confidence to follow his lead.

    "Adil bowled fantastically well. He spins it both ways and has great control with very attacking fields."

    "What you've seen today is that you can change mindset quickly with players and a coach who want it. England got well beyond par. It was only a few weeks ago in the Caribbean and I heard people saying Adil Rashid was unselectable. Well today he has come in and done exactly what he has been doing for Yorkshire. I can't remember seeing an England one-day performance as good as that."

    Kevin Ticehurst: That is the start of a promising new era for our ODI side. Exactly what the doctor ordered after the World Cup debacle.

    Andy Donley: It's the British thing to do to overhype success and castigate failure. Let's be patient now and see where it leads.

    Guy Giles: Hate to be negative, but one performance proves nothing. It's a start and that's it. Hope there's more to come.

  7. Captain's reactionpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "It was certainly a different performance to the World Cup. For us to come out of the traps like that is outstanding. I'm as surprised as anybody given we have two or three new faces in the team, but they held themselves brilliantly and the senior players were outstanding.

    "The key is consistency for us. It was brilliant from Adil Rashid, he spins the ball both ways and that's a very valuable asset to have in the side. The guys executed really well today.

    "You can look back and say what you want about the World Cup, but I'm looking forward. There's about 90 games until the next World Cup and we need to get some games into this team, and the more we can win that carries some weight."

    "Every single player who is out there today could play in the World Cup. Joe Root went up a gear today. Jos Buttler has done it again. Morgan played like he did two years ago. He was busy. Opposition teams have always hit it harder than England but today England hit it harder and you saw what it did to the New Zealand fielding."

    Mike from Liverpool: This is the type of English cricket the public can get behind!! The passion in particular showed by this group of players is exactly the way to get people falling in love with English cricket in all forms!! Well done!!

    Ash Stockton in Taunton: Who are these blokes and what have they done with the England team?

    Mark in Chipping Sodbury: New Zealand will have to take a long hard look at their approach after this match. They need to start playing more like England.

  10. Captain's reactionpublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It was a special performance from Root and Buttler. To post 400 in any game is outstanding. They blew us off the park.

    "You have to admit when you get it wrong at the toss. The second innings makes you realise we got it wrong. But that takes nothingh away from England, who put on a complete performance.

    "First of all, I thought we did well to get back in the game. To get 200-6 after 30-odd overs I thought we might be chasing 250. But they chanced their arm nicely, played with no fear and took back to initiative. We could have tried a few more tings but overall we need to be better. We knew they would play like that, we just didn't think they'd get 400. I think this is the way both teams will play this series. The margins could be great with the style both teams are playing.

    "Tim [Southee] should be fine next match. It was just after the workload of the Test he was a bit sore. We had to be a bit careful."

    John Pierce: Flamboyant, ruthless and entertaining, three words not associated with the England ODI side in many a year. Quality win.

    Sean West: What a sensational performance from England, love the new look squad!

    Maddy Raman: Goes to show the talent's always been there. It's the confidence & positivity that's been missing from this team.

  13. Match reviewpublished at 20:50 British Summer Time 9 June 2015

    Well, what a stunning performance. England have raised the curtain on their new era of one-day cricket in some style. They have absolutely thrashed one of the world's best teams in this format.

    They were fantastic with the bat in racking up their biggest ever total of 408-9, with Joe Root stroking a quickfire century and Jos Buttler bludgeoning an ever swifter ton. Adil Rashid and Eoin Morgan played superb supporting roles as New Zealand's much-vaunted bowlers were humbled.

    That took the pressure of their bowling performance, but this was still a display not to be sniffed at. Steven Finn and Adil Rashid, two players whose international credentials have frequently been questioned, were brilliant, claiming four wickets apiece to defuse a potentially explosive batting line-up.

    As for New Zealand, well they were desperately disappointing. They desperately missed Tim Southee and Daniel Vettori, and will have to improve quickly before the second ODI on Friday.

    "On this record-breaking day, we have seen biggest partnerships and biggest totals and now we have seen the biggest winning margin. It is remarkable for those of us who saw that performance at the World Cup. It wasn't that long ago. That is a really emphatic win. And what is most important is that they have convinced themselves they can play this way."
