England v New Zealand as it happened

1. England win by 210 runs
2. England's record ODI score - 408-9
3. Buttler hits 129 off 77 balls
4. Root smashes 100 off 71 balls
5. New Zealand bowled out for 198
6. Edgbaston, first of five ODIs

Goodbye

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.

Player reaction

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."

Man of the match

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."

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"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.

Captain's reaction

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."

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"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."

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.

Captain's reaction

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."

Match review

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.

"Superb bowling from Rashid, but don't underestimate the quality of the catch from Jordan. He made it look straightforward but it was a very good catch."

WICKET

It was coming. Santner decides he has to force the pace against Rashid - he gets one out of the middle and yammers it down the ground, but the next one is off the edge and is safely snaffled by Jordan at slip.

Alec Stewart

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"With the power play still to come it will be interesting to see what New Zealand do. Will they leave it until Ronchi might be in? If they leave it too late it will simply be too much for them."

NZ 179-4 (run rate 6.62)

Santner is dealing in singles here, which is no good to New Zealand. He's a bit like a young fawn caught in the headlights of a speeding freight train as he confronts this imposing target. However, New Zealand are only 11 runs behind where England were at this stage of the innings.

NZ 173-4 (Taylor 52, Santner 8)

Rashid, who is having an absolutely outstanding match, beats Santner first up with a terrific googly. The next wrong 'un lands a bit short and is picked by the debutant, who cashes in with a much-needed four.

Alec Stewart

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"New Zealand have still got some attacking players to come in. Ronchi, for example, can score quickly but it is a big, big ask."

NZ 166-4 (target 409)

Taylor is going to be OK to carry on. Santner is struggling a bit here - he can only muster a single from the remaining four balls of Stokes's over. New Zealand can't afford for him to take time to get going.

NZ 165-4

Ross Taylor is going to get a bit of treatment here. He was turning to make his ground when Eoin Morgan unleashed a shy at the stumps and it hit Taylor on the hand. That looked like it hurt, the glove comes off and Taylor is wringing his mitt.

NZ 163-4 (Rashid 7-0-35-1)

Debutant Mitchell Santner is the new man. He's off the mark with a nudge into the leg side off Rashid.

BBC Radio Test Match Special

Former England batsman Jonathan Trott: "Sam Billings is one of the great all-round sportsmen I've ever played with. He can contribute with the bat but can come in and field like that as well."

This is silly. Very silly. New Zealand get an extra ball when Stokes sends down a wide off his sixth delivery, but instead of milking a bonus single, they inexplicably decide to turn for a suicidal second. Elliott is run out by miles when Billings sends in a sharp throw to Buttler..

50 for Taylor

An ugly misfield from Eoin Morgan at mid-off gives Grant Elliott a cheap four. Taylor cheekily sweeps past fine leg for four, then brings up his fifty off 46 deliveries with a single down the ground. But then...

Stephan Shemilt

BBC Sport at Edgbaston

PA

"A really beautiful evening at Edgbaston now, the whole ground in sunshine, bar a shadow that is just beginning to creep across the outfield. There are rather more empty seats than before, perhaps those children on school trips have gone home. The DJ keeps pumping the tunes - how do you decide the soundtrack to an ODI? 'Tell you what, I'll keep Mr Brightside by the Killers until Grant Elliott is batting'."

NZ 148-3 (Taylor 45, Elliott 18)

Strange game this. I've not had the impression that New Zealand have batted that well, England have seemed to keep a lid on the boundaries, and yet the Kiwis are still going at close to seven an over. Rashid is smashed miles into the air by Taylor for another four. He reacts with the perverse delight of a macho wildlife presenter when a crocodile takes a snap at him, smiling at having coaxed Taylor into a wild stroke.

NZ 141-3 (target 409)

Getty Images

Ben Stokes is in to the attack. Taylor decides to sneak a run to Chris Jordan in the covers, and almost pays for it as the electric Jordan snakes out a tentacle and almost throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end. Taylor, who is just beginning to move through the gears, then slams Stokes back down the ground for a one-bounce four.

Jeremy Coney

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

"The NZ middle order of Taylor and Elliott are not controlling the game at the moment. They are struggling to do any more than collect runs, when what they need is boundaries."

NZ 133-3 (run rate 6.65)

"Let's bowl him through the gate, Adil!" shouts Jos Buttler, somewhat giving the game away. Rashid obliges with a ripping googly which spins back inside the shot of Elliott and just over the stumps. Buttler, whose idea it was in the first place, is taken completely by surprise and clanked on the helmet.

NZ 130-3 (Taylor 33, Elliott 13)

Suddenly, Ross Taylor is roused from his slumber. He seizes on a good-length ball from Plunkett and drills it to the fence, and then next ball he goes one better and smacks him over cow-corner for six. Good over for New Zealand, they needed that.

BBC

Former England batsman Jonathan Trott on TMS: "In one-day cricket, on fast outfields, you don't necessarily have to play big shots to score at a high-tempo, especially with the fielding restrictions. You can catch up quite quickly with the scoring but if you lose wickets it kills you."

NZ 116-3 (target 409)

Big appeal as Ross Taylor completely misses with a sweep and is struck on the pad by Rashid. England decide against a review and rightly so - the ball pitched outside leg. Rashid is bowling nicely though, he and Plunkett have dried up the runs here.

NZ 110-3 (Taylor 17, Elliott 11)

Rashid is settling in here. He foxes Grant Elliott with a googly and gets him to inside-edge one perilously past his stumps. Decent over, seven from it.

NZ 103-3 (target 409)

Grant Elliott, the hero of New Zealand's World Cup semi-final win over South Africa, strides to the crease. He will need to outdo even that remarkable innings if New Zealand are to get close here. He gets off the mark with a tip-toed, flat-bat shot past backward point for four. Plunkett's riposte is a good one, whistling one past the outside edge.

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"It was nice bowling from Rashid and a good running catch from Joe Root. That's the difficulty for New Zealand, when you are chasing a target like this if you go two balls without a boundary, you can't just nudge and nurdle."

WICKET

Getty Images

Rashid strikes! That's what he's in the team for - tossed up, inviting Kane Williamson into the big shot, the batsman doesn't connect cleanly and Joe Root streaks in from the boundary at long-off to collect the catch. England right on top now.

NZ 92-2 (run rate 7.07)

Plunkett is hoicked into the leg-side outfield for a couple. Alex Hales fields serviceably to raucous chants of 'Hales! Hales!' A few sundowners being imbibed in the stands I reckon, and why not? Better over from Plunkett, just five from it.

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"I will interested to see what pace Rashid bowls. In one-day cricket I always think he is a better bowler when he gives it some flight. This is a big series for him. Moeen Ali has struggled and if Rashid has a good series, England may take a gamble on him in the Ashes."

NZ 87-2 (Williamson 42, Taylor 9)

Getty Images

Now then, we're going to get our first look at the bowling of Adil Rashid. He batted superbly, what can he do with the nut? It's a slightly erratic first over, not quite finding a consistent line and length, and New Zealand know they have to target him. Williamson does just that, reaching for a wide one and lofting it over mid-off for four.

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"It is the first time I have seen New Zealand look a bit ragged, in the first innings. They were fumbling the ball. But that is down to the pressure the England batsmen put on them."

NZ 79-2 (target 409)

Thanks Phil. Eoin Morgan has shuffled his pack and brought Liam Plunkett into the attack. Plunkett's first three deliveries are on the money, but the fourth is overpitched and Williamson punches it back down the ground for four. Another delivery, slightly wider, gets the same treatment, not quite as well-timed this time but it beats mid-off and trickles away to the rope.

NZ 70-2

Getty Images

Jordan's fifth over - which goes for just two - completes an action-packed first 10 of the New Zealand innings. And with that, I hand you back to Mr James Gheerbrant.

Email [e-mail]

Salim in Toronto: If 10 runs have already been scored in the first five balls when chasing 400+, the ideal thing to do is to watch the run rate and keep it ticking, not try to bash every ball. Six runs an over for the first 15 overs or so would be fine with wickets in hand. McCullum did what he did in the World Cup final, did not settle down. Costly wicket, England definitely ahead.

NZ 68-2 (Run-rate 7.55)

Finn is within one ball of another maiden, but Taylor swings hard at the last and diverts the ball up and over the keeper and down to the boundary for four.

NZ 64-2

Oh, so close! Taylor looks to pull a short ball from Finn and almost drags on to his own stumps.

NZ 64-2 (Taylor 2, Williamson 26)

Reuters

One thing you can be certain of, New Zealand will not take a backward step. They will continue to go on the assault in their pursuit of this huge England total. Williamson leans forward and punches Jordan's first ball through extra cover for four before flicking the fourth off his pads and down to the fine-leg boundary. England have removed two big danger-men, but this Kiwi side is packed to the rafters with them.

"Guptill was scoring at a good enough rate to get them on target. When you're chasing, I think you need to take a slightly different approach - you need to stick around a bit."

"Guptill was feeling the pressure. It was a great ball from Finn, on off stump and it got a little more bounce, which Finn is always going to get."

Speaking of class acts, Martin Guptill has it is in his locker to get New Zealand close to their required total in this match as a smash through cover for four off Finn's first ball shows. England, then, will be delighted to have him back in the tent as swings wildly and nicks one to Buttler. England jubilant.

NZ 46-1

Kane Williamson is a class act. In 2014 alone he scored seven ODI 50s and a century. He underlines the threat he poses with a straight drive down the ground for four through mid-on. However, he does get lucky at the end of an over by trying to chop one that gets an inside edge and flies past his stumps and down to the rope.

NZ 37-1 (Guptill 15, Williamson 8)

Finn veers too short and straight and Guptill is on to it in a flash to pull for four. Williamson then gets in on the act with a flick off his legs for four to the same part of the ground. Runs coming thick and fast. The Kiwis are going at 7.40 an over after five. And one of those has been a maiden.

NZ 19-1 (Target 409)

Edgbaston is still alive with noise as Kane Williamson joins Guptill at the crease for Chris Jordan's first over. Guptill takes a leaf out of McCullum's book by hammering the England opener away for four through cover second ball. He is then almost undone with another swing that catches the inside edge but bounces before it can reach the gloves of Buttler. Guptill takes a breath, composes himself and drives the next ball for another boundary. It's all happening.

WICKET

Now he's out. McCullum takes Finn for successive boundaries in typically aggressive style but the big bowler gets his revenge as the opener swings, misses and is cleaned up by the final ball of the over. A crazy over ends in the best possible way for the home side.

NZ 3-0

The Kiwi skipper is just home. Just. What a start that would have been for England.

NZ 3-0

Oh! Is this a run out in just the third ball of Steven Finn's fist over! Rashid throws from fine leg and hits the wickets directly with McCullum struggling to get home at the striker's end. It is going to the third umpire...

Here we go again. The England players are out and huddling up. New Zealand's openers - Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill - follow soon after. The tourists need 409 for victory. Yes, 409! That is just 8.18 an over. Expect fireworks.

Stephan Shemilt

"You might have plundered 408, but there's still work to do. England's bowlers are out loosening up, while the rest of the team are belted catches by Paul Frabrace. Elsewhere on the outfield, there are four games of cricket being played by youngsters, with yet more balls being hit into the stands."

Record breakers

The records that have fallen today at Edgbaston:

• Highest ODI total in England
• Highest ODI total by England (and 10th highest of all time by any side)
• Highest ODI score by a number six batsman for England (Buttler's 129)
• Most sixes scored in an ODI innings by England (14)
• Highest seventh-wicket partnership in ODI history
• Buttler's 100 is the second-fastest in England ODI history (from 66 balls)

"This is now England's highest ever score in ODI cricket, beating the 391-4 they made against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in 2005."

Eng 393-7 (Rashid 68, Jordan 2)

Mitchell Santner, on debut, returns. I'm sure he'll thank his skipper for that. Jordan takes a look and then dances down to swipe through extra-cover for four. That is 392 and England's highest ever ODI score. Take a bow lads. Remember when Jason Roy was out first ball? No, me neither.

Alec Stewart

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Quite unbelievable cricket from England. Just think, a couple of months ago, England were being laughed at for playing archaic one-day cricket. It's roles reversed from the World Cup. The public needed this, the England dressing-room needed this, and if this is how they are going to play for the next four years, it's a great start."

A standing ovation for Jos Buttler, who top-edges a short ball from McClenaghan to Henry, running in from deep point, to end a stunning innings. 129 from 77 balls. Brutal and brilliant.

Eng 372-6 ( Rashid 55, Buttler 123)

Boom. Buttler plants another down the ground and straight into the stand off the returning Elliott. Smash. He latches on to a wide, full ball and hammers it between extra-cover and mid-off for four. Kapow. He pulls a second four from the last ball. It is starting to look like an episode of the Adam West Batman. The record is well and truly on.

Bryan Waddle

Alastair: Root and Buttler did not bat together at all in this innings. How often have 2 centurions in a single ODI innings never been at the crease at the same time?

50 for Rashid

Buttler's pyrotechnics means Rashid has been able to go about his work slightly under the radar. But his 50, from 37 balls, has been vital. He brings his half-century up with a pull for four. He follows that with a top-edge that sends the ball over the keeper and brings him another boundary.

Dropped catch

AP

This is very un-New Zealand like. They didn't put a foot wrong in the field in the Test series, but they've dropped three today. The latest is the skipper Brendon McCullum who runs backwards from mid-on and just gets his fingertips to a top-edged pull from Rashid.

Buttler goes to 99 with a ramp shot off McClenaghan and moves to a century with a drive through extra-cover. Buttler now has the fastest and second-fastest in ODIs for England. This was from 66 balls. His fastest was from 61. To add to that, this is the highest seventh-wicket stand in all ODIs.

Eng 332-6 (Buttler 95, Rashid 43)

Henry helps England out with a couple of wides, possibly out of desperation at where to bowl to Buttler, who is now within five runs of another quick-fire century.

"It was straight to Taylor but he misjudged it, he made it much more difficult than it was."

Dropped catch

Taylor has had a shocker. Again. Buttler hammers one towards him at long-on but he misjudges it, sets off late and fails to get there to get his hands underneath it. That is a second drop of the afternoon for the Kiwi batsman after he dropped Root earlier. He's going to owe his side some serious runs.

Jeremy Coney

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

"If they can stay in, New Zealand can threaten this challenge. They won't feel they're out of this game. But there have been some loose aspects to their bowling and catching."

Eng 323-6

Nathan McCullum is a wily bowler and ties Buttler down with block-hole bowling for three deliveries. But all the bowler needs to do is err slightly and the England batsman is on to it. He smashes a full-toss through the off side for four and then rocks back to cut another boundary to keep the runs flowing.

AP

Rashid is all scoops, flicks and swivels. He wheels away to hammer a short ball from Henry but is denied a four by a dive from Nathan McCullum. The throw back in has the third umpire busy for a potential run-out. Rashid was short of his ground but Henry had broken the stumps with his hand and so the batsman survives. Buttler then rocks back and blasts the next ball over midwicket and the rope for six. Wound, say hello to salt. At 111, this is now England's highest seventh-wicket stand in ODIs.

Buttler gets his reverse sweep out to punch a full ball from the returning Nathan McCullum down to the boundary. It is fine shot, but he manages to top it by planting his front foot and launching the ball into the stand over mid-off. Buttler has raced to 73, from just 52 balls. Say it quietly, but if these two stay together until the end, 400 is on.

Back comes Henry, who went for 6.50 an over from the six he bowled earlier. Rashid gets his shovel out to chip a short ball into the leg side with both feet off the ground for a single. Unique but effective. It is one of just five runs from the over as Henry ends the powerplay well for New Zealand.

"It's just the mindset. They had the same bats at the World Cup, but they didn't have this mindset. Once you've got the commitment to take on the stroke, if you get the ball anywhere near the middle, these grounds aren't big enough."

Eng 283-6 (Rashid 33, Buttler 59)

This is the Buttler that took Yorkshire to the cleaners in the T20 Blast. It doesn't matter where McClenaghan bowls, it is going. The batsman swivels to pull one through midwicket for another four. It is a shot that says, "Get that filth away from me".

Buttler is in destruction mode. After a failed ramp shot he cuts away McClenaghan for four to bring up 50 in 42 balls.

"Santner is having a hard time. He's more of a batsman-bowler, and it's a chastening experience to come in at this sort of time and bowl to batsmen with this licence."

Eng 271-6 (Buttler 47, Rashid 33)

Getty Images

It looks effortless for Buttler as he lofts Santner's first ball back over his head for six. The Lancashire keeper shows the way and Rashid follows with a scoop of his own into the stand behind the spinner, who follows up with a pull through midwicket for four. 19 off the over. The momentum is shifting again.

Eng 252-6

When Buttler hits it, it stays hit. He takes a step to McClenaghan and times one to perfection through the gap near extra-cover for a beautiful four. He then gets away with a little flick at one that flies through the vacant first slip area for another boundary. Taylor grins ruefully from the wide second slip position. After swinging sharply away from England, the home side are wrestling some control back.

Michael Vaughan

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"It's a really good pitch. For England to get up with the rest of the world in terms of their style of one-day cricket, the more we play on this type of surface the better. It's hard to play aggressively when the ball is nipping around."

Santner continues to give England at least one boundary ball an over. Rashid ensures a rank long-hop is hammered through midwicket for four. England are building again. This is a nice little partnership. Buttler is the key. If he is there at the end, England will have a competitive score.

McClenaghan returns in place of Boult and is unfortunate not to get Buttler courtesy of an edge that would have been perfect for the hands of second slip. There is no second slip, though, and so the ball runs away for four. 35 overs gone, time for the power play. This could make or break England's innings.

"He's high-class, Trent Boult. He bowled well even thought there wasn't much swing. He looked to bowl full, bowled the odd surprise bouncer and worked the angles from over and round the wicket. He's very much in synch with McCullum, who knows how to set attacking fields for him."

The second drinks break gives Buttler and Rashid chance to further debate their strategy for the final 18 overs. One point is likely to have been to see this last over of Boult off. They do this well, with signs that Buttler is starting to get his eye in courtesy of some powerful drives into the off side. No big hits but eight runs. That'll do for England. Plus, Boult is out of the attack. He finishes with 4-55. A fine effort on a good track.

Adil Rashid is no mug with the bat. He has nine first-class centuries to his name and has dug Yorkshire out of a hole or two in his time. He has another rescue job on his hands here.

"Joe Root's 71-ball hundred was England's third-fastest in one-day internationals. Jos Buttler (61 balls) set the record against Sri Lanka at Lords's last year beating Kevin Pietersen's 69-ball effort against South Africa in East London in 2005."

Jeremy Coney on TMS welcomes Sam Billings to the crease with an honest admission that he has "never heard of him before". The Kent man gets off the mark with a single.

I've been fortunate in recent weeks to have seen both Ben Stokes' superb 101 at Lord's and Jos Buttler's brutal 71 not out in the Roses match at Headingley.

Thanks James. Well, I was really looking forward to coming on to write about Eoin Morgan and Joe Root further putting this New Zealand attack to the sword. But those two dismissals are a setback. This is another big test of this new-look England side. The next 25 overs will be revealing. Mitchell Santner is into the attack and is welcomed with a reverse sweep from Ben Stokes to left the ball over short third man and down to the boundary.

Jos Buttler is the new man. A crucial stage of the innings this, with two new batsmen at the crease. Both terrific stroke-makers on their day of course, but can they keep this rate up?

These two have to be the foundation of England's innings - they've done excellent work so far, but they need to stick in there and go big. Root in particular is playing with such authority that he will be a key wicket. A quieter over off McCullum, just four from it.

A jaunty wave of apology as he breaks into a slightly embarrassed trot to retake his place in the stands.

"Any raised eyebrows at the omission of James Taylor? This is a man who made an unbeaten 98 against a rampant Australia at the start of the World Cup and was England's captain in their last ODI. Mind you, in between he made scores of 0, 17, 25, 1 and 8*, so nothing stellar, albeit being shifted up and down the order. Wasn't it Mark Butcher who stood in as captain for the Test side and was dropped next game?"

Eng 54-2 (Root 30, Morgan 4)

Brendon McCullum has read Eoin Morgan's mind here - the England skipper favours the off side so McCullum has packed that side with close fielders. Morgan has got a closer security detail than a Hollywood star on walkabout. He manages just a couple of twos.

"This is the way 50 over cricket is played now. You have to go for it for 50 overs. You can't expect a team to suddenly produce consistent results trying to adjust to this style. They need to be given time to develop a brand of no-fear cricket."

Eng 50-2 (run rate 6.25)

Captain Morgan is the new man. Spectacular fielding by Martin Guptill at point ensures England don't score off the rest of the over.

Phil Tufnell

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"It was short of length and wide of off stump which means he had to fetch it and got a top-edge. It is a decent catch by Henry but disappointing for England. It shows good intent. It was there to be given a whack. You don't mind it because on other occasions it can come off."

It was all going so well. A single to third man from Root brings up a spirit-lifting 50 partnership off 42 balls, but the optimism is swiftly punctured next ball when Hales mistimes a hook and is pouched by Henry at backward square.

Eng 49-1 (Hales 20, Root 29)

Root breaks the shackles against Nathan McCullum, stepping down the track and pumping him back over his head for four. Busy running brings a further five runs off the over.

"You get rewards for being positive at the start of the innings. It means the second or third slip that Brendon McCullum likes to put in will be taken out."

Pete in Greenhithe: A player either has an impact on a match or doesn't. With the greatest of sympathy for Roy I'd rather see him go first ball, than scratch around for 10 overs and go for 15.

Paul Mason: Give the lad a chance, we want attacking cricket, sometimes even Gayle and de Villiers get out early doors. Still plenty in the shed.

Steve, London: Reaction to Roy dismissal is depressing. All the moaning is why we are so stuck playing safe, dull ODI cricket.

Eng 40-1 (Boult 3-0-21-1)

Boult switches ends. He gets away with a dreadful short and wide delivery which Hales can only toe-end to cover. Hales gets a bit lucky next ball, getting a thick edge which runs through the vacant slip region and away for four.

"Not a bad start after the disaster for Roy from the first ball. Root has come in and looked a million dollars. Hales has played some crunching shots through the outfield. England starting to look the part."

Dave Lamb: The negativity around England cricket is astounding at times. Normally by those who haven't got a clue.

Maddy Raman: Despite that first ball shocker you feel unlike the previous era Jason Roy will get another chance to show his talent.

Mark Stevens: Being out first ball doesn't mean a player has no talent, or that the team has failed. It means one batsman has had an off day.

Eng 35-1 (Hales 13, Root 22)

Brendon McCullum turns to brother Nathan to take the pace off the ball and wrest back a bit of control for New Zealand. McCullum's slow tweak immediately proves more difficult to get away, with three nurdled singles all England can muster off the over. Still, this is the highest score that England have attained after five overs of an ODI since 2011.

Phil Tufnell

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"Henry's ball was just back of a length, hitting top of off but Root gets on his toes and hits through extra-cover. It is superb timing and the sign of a player who is in great nick and a very good pitch."

Eng 32-1 (run rate 8.0)

The runs continue to flow for England, these two are timing the ball beautifully. A perfectly respectable delivery from Henry is creamed to the cover boundary by Root. This looks a good surface, that decision from McCullum at the toss is already beginning to look a little dubious.

Jonathan Agnew

"It looks a good pitch this. The ball is coming on nicely. That one to Root for the first four sat up."

Nick, London: There will be failures. If you want to live by the sword but we have a year to the champions trophy so let's back these guys.

Ed in Putney: We want a one day team with players that will express themselves. We back Roy as we believe he has the potential. One low score does not matter! The mindset and the intent is what needs to change!

Eng 24-1 (Hales 11, Root 13)

PA

Trent Boult was the destroyer-in-chief for New Zealand in the Test series and an early wicket means his tail is well and truly up here. Joe Root is eager to assert his authority against the dangerous paceman though, punching him off the back foot through the covers and then driving him wide of mid-off for another boundary. Decent start from this pair.

Eng 16-1

Alex Hales, who's been in red-hot form for Nottinghamshire, has begun nicely here. Matt Henry is the opening bowler from the other end and Hales cuffs him over point for his first boundary, then drives him beautifully down the ground. England going at eights, on track for 400...

Neil Peter: Oh...... dear...

Evan Samuel: What a brave new world we live in... oh, hang on.

Tom Roberts: Exciting new brand of cricket! Time to express themselves! Young, hungry batsmen! A new dawn for England! Caught first ball.

"If you were to look up the word 'anticlimax' in the dictionary, you would see 'Roy c Guptill b Boult 0'. The collective sigh inside Edgbaston was almost comical, those still taking their seats will think they haven't missed much. If you're feeling cynical, you'd say they've missed more of the same."

Phil Tufnell

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"I like Root coming in at three because he has gears in his game. He will need to realise he needs to get England into this game and stay busy."

Eng 8-1 (Hales 3, Root 5)

Joe Root is the new number three and he's quickly into his work, knocking a couple of twos to get up and running. Hales is off the mark with a straight drive off his first ball that is brilliantly hauled in by Brendon McCullum just short of the rope.

Phil Tufnell

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"There will be highs and lows in a 'brave new world' and that is definitely a low. It didn't really swing. it was just out there. Maybe he needed to have a look for a few balls?"

Jonathan Agnew

"If that is the brave new start I think we need to press rewind and start again."

Ahem. Not so much a new dawn as an unpleasant 5am wake-up call where you open the curtains and find that it's still pitch black outside. Jason Roy's audition is over after one ball, full and wide and steered uppishly into the safe hands of Martin Guptill at backward point. Plans torn up on the balcony...

Hales and Roy are out in the middle, Trent Boult has the ball. We're ready to go...

Jeremy Coney

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

"Daniel Vettori is a loss for New Zealand. Anyone who goes for just four runs an over in ODI cricket is essential as it allows other bowlers to attack. If you lose that, the pressure comes back on to the other bowlers. You can't replace that experience and that quality. Santner will be nervous today, but you have to give these players some leeway."

Roy ready to roar

Jason Roy is an exciting talent with the bat and a (excuse the pun) Roy of the Rovers fielder. He was one of those players whose debut in Ireland last month was washed, so this is his first real chance to impress.

He forms part of an exciting new-look opening partnership with Alex Hales. And we're about to get our first look at it...

Alec Stewart

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"The World Cup has been and gone. We are now looking to the next World Cup and the 2017 Champions Trophy. The squad they have picked is exciting. They need to get out there and play without fear and enjoy it."

Line-ups

England XI: A Hales, J Roy, J Root, E Morgan (capt), B Stokes, J Buttler (wk), S Billings, A Rashid, C Jordan, L Plunkett, S Finn.

New Zealand XI: M Guptill, B McCullum (capt), K Williamson, R Taylor, G Elliott, M Santner, L Ronchi (wk), N McCullum, M Henry, M McClenaghan, T Boult.

These sides met in the World Cup and for England, it wasn't pretty.

Tim Southee took a wrecking ball to their rather flimsy batting order and Brendon McCullum then savaged their bowling attack like a hungry Rottweiler let loose on a particularly timorous postman.

The result was an eight-wicket defeat that will haunt the dreams of England cricket fans for many years to come.

Watching from afar

AFP

...Is England's new coach Trevor Bayliss. He's an Australian in the typical Australian mould: tough, old-school, no-nonsense, loves a Vegemite sarnie and knows a thing or two about one-day cricket.

Among the achievements on the resume that so impressed Andrew Strauss and the other big cheeses at the ECB are making the 2011 World Cup final with Sri Lanka and winning the IPL twice with the Kolkata Knight Riders.

But before he can get his hands on his new charges, he has to watch them in action. Think of him as a cricketing Gordon Ramsay, drafted in to rescue a shambolically failing restaurant by bringing the menu bang up-to-date and delivering a few stark home truths.

The audacity of hope

Now look, I know I began on a slightly gloomy note. But it's time to be positive. Because England's road to the top starts here. A new dawn. And more than that, a new brand of cricket. One where players are freed from the shackles to play their natural, aggressive game. Where young players flourish under innovative management. Where children are the future. Teach them well and watch them grow...

You get the idea. The trouble is, we've heard it all before. Will it be any different this time? Well, there are reasons to be positive - interim coach Paul Farbrace has picked some exciting, untried young players in his team. Can the likes of Jason Roy, Adil Rashid and Sam Billings usher in a new era of one-day cricket for England? We could be about to find out...

Stephan Shemilt

BBC Sport at Edgbaston

"Busy in Birmingham, the roads around Edgbaston jammed. On the pavement, fans on foot check tickets and clutch bags full of food as they head to see a new-look England and the World Cup finalists. It's greyish, but with no threat of rain. From my parking spot in a side street, I can see the floodlights loom over nearby houses and hear the stadium announcer's voice wafting across the surrounding area."

Captain's view

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "This wicket looks great so we will see how many runs we can restrict England to. But our philosophy is to play with a positive mindset and be aggressive with bat and bowl.

"We have an opportunity to build on the following we have earned from the World Cup. This is out first test after that and we are looking forward to it."

Captain's view

England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "I would have had a bat. Wicket looks good and this is a chance to post a score. This ODI we are starting with a bit of blank page. The last year has been poor but the future looks promising.

"There is always pressure on senior players and as captain you take your majority of it. The group of players we have picked play the brand of cricket we want to play. It will take some time to bridge the gap between us and the top sides but it looks good going forward."

After the high of England's victory over New Zealand in the first Test, it's time to plummet back down to Earth.

Following the resounding defeat at Headingley which allowed the Kiwis to square the series, it's time for England to get reacquainted with their perennial nemesis: one-day cricket.

The last time England wore coloured kits in meaningful action, they suffered a humiliating defeat by Bangladesh and were knocked out of the World Cup in ignominious fashion.

Now, they come up against one of the best, more brutal ODI sides in the business. Can it get any worse?
