Well, what an extraordinary match. Time for me to have a lie-down. Want to relive the drama? Have a gander at the match report.
You're not going to want to miss the next match in this pulsating series. And you only have to wait two days for these sides to meet again at the Rose Bowl. Join us at 10:00 BST for that. Until then, goodbye.

Fenners: D/L not fit for purpose. Needs changing. Why not play last 4 overs? And how does 9 an over become 15 an over?
Ben Fox: Respect to NZ for not celebrating - they were gifted the win in the end. Not undeserved, however.
Rob Meech: How outdated a coach does Peter Moores look now? He got the tactics at the World Cup horribly wrong.
Man of the match
New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor is named man of the match.
He says: "It was probably a par of 360/370, it was a very good surface. It was a good game and hopefully it's another good game at the Rose Bowl. I think I was probably trying a bit too hard at the Oval to find some form, so I've just tried to express myself and hit a few out of the middle."
Captain's reaction
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It was terrifying at times. This England team are playing a completely different brand of cricket to what they've played in recent times.
"Also credit to our boys, we held our nerve there under pressure at the end. Both teams put up a hell of a fight.
"There are no guarantees in this day and age. Neither team probably deserved to lose but it was a great day for us. Ross Taylor was outstanding. We were probably looking at about 250 until he stepped it up."
Captain's reaction
England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "It was epic. These are the game of cricket that we want to play in, The style of cricket we emulated today was fantastic and I'm really proud of the way we went about the chase.
"I'm a bit disappointed with our fielding and the way we executed our bowling but credit to New Zealand. When you're chasing a total like that, the scoreboard is irrelevant - it's the manner in which you play that is important. It's not a bad day for us and it's a continuation of the way we want to play our cricket.
"I'm close to my best, I struck it quite well today. Personally I think the Duckworth-Lewis method will change."
"What a match - brilliant run scoring, strange way for it to finish and shame the rain came. But 365/9 plays 398/5? Wow."
Email tms@bbc.co.uk
Roger Williams: As well as attacking cricket we need attacking umpires who say let's get out there and play. Duckworth-Lewis should be dumped - match abandoned, match drawn, anything is better than this.
"I think we are going to see these teams going at each other in every match. No batsman is going to take a backward step and walk off wondering."
Match review
It was another extraordinary match in what has so far been an utterly memorable tour. New Zealand looked to have put the game well beyond England's reach with a brilliant batting display, one in which Ross Taylor - who made a belligerent century - and Kane Williamson starred as they posted 398-5.
What followed was a magnificent effort by England that really underlined their dramatic transformation into a powerful, aggressive one-day side. Jason Roy and Alex Hales got them off to a fast start and then Eoin Morgan took over with a magnificent innings, hitting a sparkling 88 off just 47 balls.
When he was out shortly after Jos Buttler, it seemed the game was up for England. But some thrilling lower-order tap from Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett took England within sight of the finish line - before rain intervened...
Champagne moment

So New Zealand have completed a victory by 13 runs. They were under siege at the end, but ultimately that superb bating effort was - just - enough to see them home.

Rashid c Boult b N McCullum 34 (Eng 355-9)
Well, that is extraordinary. Rashid hammers McCullum down the ground, it looks like a six, but Tim Southee reels it in and lobs it back infield as his momentum takes him over the rope, for Trent Boult to complete the catch. Stunning teamwork.
England now need 24 off six balls.

Umpire review
I think New Zealand have pulled off the most amazing piece of fielding here. Is Rashid out?
"To be this close in such a gargantuan chase is fantastic from England."
Post update
The revised bowling conditions mean that Tim Southee can only bowl one more delivery. Mitchell McClenaghan can't bowl any more. So I guess that's why New Zealand are turning to Grant Elliott. And as I type, he's getting some good-luck handshakes from his team-mates, like a plucky Tommy about to be sent over the top.
Post update
By the way, this is the third most runs ever scored in any one-day international, and it's beaten the previous record for an ODI in England by 92. And we're not done yet!

Interestingly, Grant Elliott is doing a few warm-up deliveries on the outfield. He could be the man to deliver one of those overs.

Well, you have to say Messrs Duckworth and Lewis have rather helped New Zealand there. England needed nine an over before we came off - now they need 13 an over. There were loud boos from the crowd when those revised playing conditions were announced.

Right, we've got a revised 46-over game, restarting at 21.10 BST. England's revised target is 379. So, England need 34 runs off 13 balls. On telly, Ian Botham looks absolutely apoplectic.

Here's the important info. England are behind on the Duckworth-Lewis par score. They need 354, so if there's no resumption New Zealand will win. However, we have an extra half-hour built in for just such eventualities, so we don't start losing time until 20:51 BST.
"It doesn't look great here at the Oval. The big tarpaulins are being dragged on. It could have been a fantastic finish to a great game of one-day cricket."

Eng 345-7
England need a boundary, and Adil Rashid provides it with a terrifically cheeky bit of improvisation! He gets over to the off side and scoops Southee to the midwicket boundary for four. But then...
Eng 340-7
Oh dear, you don't want to be doing that Liam. He leaves a legal delivery from Southee's first ball, then scampers a single off the second. Rashid wants two when he hits Southee into the off side, but slips on the wet surface as he turns. This is now England's highest ever ODI total batting second, and the rain is falling...
"Plunkett has come in and played an absolute blinder."
Eng 338-7 (target 399)
Now Rashid gets in on the act, lofting Santner over extra-cover for a one-bounce four. The young offie is under pressure, but recovers well with a good last two balls.

A sprinted two brings up an unlikely 50 partnership between Plunkett and Rashid off just 34 balls. We're in for a heck of a finish...
Dropped catch
Eng 322-7
Another one down in the field for New Zealand. Guptill drops a skier from Plunkett, who responds by launching Southee into the stands for six! It's not over.
Eng 313-7 (need 86 off 54 balls)
So, 90 needed off the final 10 overs. Can England make an unlikely stab at this? Will the weather gods intervene? Plunkett is charging like a frisky bull at Pamplona - he's itching to get down the track and give Boult the heave-ho, but he can't quite muscle him away. Four runs only make it a frustrating over for England, but here's the good news - Boult's done for the day.
Eng 309-7 (target 399)
Well, these two still believe. Plunkett welcomes Mitchell Santner back into the attack by clubbing him down the ground for four to bring up England's 300 - and that's with 64 balls left. Taken in isolation, this has been another terrific batting effort. Rashid then reaches to sweep Santner powerfully for four. But I think England's fun could be about to be ended...they're scurrying for umbrellas in the stands.

Goodness me, Ross Taylor's shelling them like peas in the slips - he puts down another chance when Rashid edges a cut-shot behind. Tough chance, but certainly grabbable. Rashid then clubs four down the ground.
Eng 289-7 (need 110 off 72 balls)
Rashid gets down on one knee and gives it some humpty, smacking McClenaghan through the covers. Seven off the over, England need more, and suddenly the stormclouds are looming. That's not a metaphor by the way - I think the rain's a-coming.

The batting powerplay was always a reliable harbinger of doom for England Mk 1, and I'm afraid it might have done for New Look England as well here.

Meanwhile in a different match, in a different format, Steve Smith was out for 199 as Australia made 399 all out in their first innings against West Indies in the second Test in Jamaica. Jerome Taylor took a brilliant 6-47 off 25 overs for the hosts, including Smith (above). The scorecard is here.
Drinks break
Eng 273-5 (Morgan 88, Billings 10)
Next man in Adil Rashid is amusing himself in a swivel chair on the England balcony. Whatever soothes your nerves in this situation, I guess. Trent Boult is proving probably the hardest of the New Zealand bowlers to time, but Morgan and Billings manage to swat and smear four ugly singles. In the outfield, Kiwi skipper Brendon McCullum is giving that chewing gum a real working over. He'll have to spit it out now though - it's drinks.

So England need to get another partnership up and running quickly. There's no time to play yourself in in this situation. Billings shows the appropriate urgency with a brutish drive down the ground.

"Eoin Morgan's game looks so organised right now. He is getting in the right positions and hitting it so cleanly."
Eng 259-4 (Morgan 85, Buttler 41)
Santner continues, and Morgan smokes him over mid-off for another big six. He's threatening Jos Buttler's record for the fastest England century here. That came of 61 balls, Morgan has 85 off 42. Even better, the required rate is down below eight.
Eng 249-4 (Boult 5-1-29-0)
Boult is back. Can he keep a lid on this? Buttler times him through the off side for two and then nudges him fine to the fine-leg boundary. So extraordinary has Morgan's innings been, Buttler hasn't even been required to get out of it second gear yet, but he's just beginning to motor.
"At the same stage of their innings New Zealand were 209-2."
Eng 241-4 (target 399)
Danger has a name. That name is Mitchell Santner. He spun the England runaway train off its tracks earlier today and now Brendon McCullum has called on the young spinner to do it again. But Eoin Morgan is on the rampage. He doesn't care for caution. He smashes Santner into the sightscreen, sweeps him fine down the leg side and then bops him back over his head again for another six. He's seeing it like a football at the moment!
"Eoin Morgan looks to be back to his best, going out there and hitting the ball hard. That is when you know he is at the very top of his game."

50 for Morgan
Eng 223-4 (Morgan 60, Buttler 31)
England, so miserably abject, so prehistorically slow at the World Cup, are rocketing along at 7.5 an over and it doesn't look odd on them. They've dispensed with that fusty old straitjacket, slipped into this funky, modern new suit and decided that they quite like the cut of it. Morgan brings up his fifty in 28 balls with a crashed four through cover, then adds a couple more belligerent boundaries with a slap through mid-off and a crisp lofted drive in the same region.
Eng 209-4 (run rate 7.46)
The big shots keep coming, and luckily for England they keep evading the fielder. McClenaghan's over invites three big heaves, none of them reaching the boundary, but England's charmed batsmen scamper their way through for another seven runs.
"I don't think he has picked that up Ross Taylor. he has gone for it, and then gone for it again. You can see in his reaction. It is sometimes a difficult ground to pick it up. That is a lifeline for Jos Buttler."
Dropped catch
Eng 202-4 (target 399)
Look, England might not chase this total down, they might yet fold for 250, but how refreshing is it to see the positive, have-a-go spirit that they've brought to this stiffest of challenges. Really positive signs. And just as I say that, Buttler should be back in the hutch. He fences at a wide one from Southee and edges a simple chance to Ross Taylor at second slip, but the fielder puts it down. On such moments...
Eng 196-4 (Morgan 42, Buttler 22)
Buttler pounces on short balls like a cheetah pounces on its lunch. McClenaghan digs one in and the England keeper dispatches it to the midwicket fence with a glorious crack. What a noise that made.
"That is a big hit. He almost does it effortlessly Jos Buttler. I'm not sure how? It is almost a flick of the wrist. It is the longest boundary and it has sailed past the rope. I think he may even hit it harder than AB de Villiers."
Eng 191-4 (N McCullum 8-0-76-1)
Morgan gets one right out of the screws, stepping down the track and marmalising McCulum over long-on for six. And then it's Buttler's turn to tee off, pulling for four and then absolutely hammering one into the stands at midwicket. Wowzers. 19 off the over.

Henry Ellison: After Buttler and Morgan not so much?! Great disservice to Sam Billings who is arguably the most destructive of them all!
Eng 172-4 (target 399)
Mitchell McClenaghan has a touch of the suave Hollywood villain about him with his slick, floppy fringe and piercing blue eyes. Jos Buttler, his softly-spoken demeanour belying immense brawn, is a very English sort of action hero. And like many action heroes, there's a serious bounty on his head. If New Zealand can get him, they win this match. Good over from McClenaghan, just a two and a wide.
Eng 169-4 (Morgan 34, Buttler 4)
So, we reach a crucial stage of this match. England are well ahead of New Zealand at this stage and have two of their most destructive batsman at the crease, but after them...not so much. Nathan McCullum, who I think has bowled very well, produces another tight over, just five from it.

Andy McClelland: This is about believing and executing the right shots England. These 2 must bat to 35 overs then game is on.
Eng 145-3 (Morgan 15, Stokes 27)
England are 18 runs ahead of New Zealand at this stage. 18 whole runs! They could wrap this up with time to spare! McCullum goes to the Random Part-Time Bowler Generator and comes up with Martin Guptill's off-spin. It's a rather chastening over for the occasional twirler, who sends down an appetising melange of half-trackers and wide balls, and is taken for 12 runs by England's delighted batsmen. Wry smirk on Brendon McCullum's face. That's one weird experiment that cricket captaincy's mad scientist might not be repeating.
"They played a few shots in that over. It went from the sublime to the ridiculous. There were some lovely shots, though, a bit of a mixture. That is always going to be the case when you are chasing a total like this."
Eng 133-3 (N McCullum 5-0-39-1)
With spin in operation from both ends, Morgan removes his helmet. As anyone who works on a building site will tell you though, that can spell danger. The skipper gets very lucky when he gets a loopy edge that just eludes slip, and then Stokes gets a bit of good fortune when he mistimes that evades Brendon McCullum's sprawling dive at extra-cover. Stokes makes the most of it by nailing a big maximum over midwicket. And that'll be drinks.
"I played a lot with Eoin Morgan and he has always had an array of inventive shots, even as a young man. He was something of a pioneer in English cricket."
Eng 119-3 (target 399)
On the balcony, ominously, Jason Roy is staring disconsolately at a laptop. Step away from the data, Jase - that way madness lies. Morgan deflects the surprisingly deadly Santner off his pads for three to get up and running, and then smears an enormous six over the ropes at mid-on. Better.
Eng 107-3 (Morgan 0, Stokes 5)
Goodness me, what a devastating double blow for England's hopes of pulling off a miracle chase. Ben Stokes is quickly off the mark with a reverse sweep and seven runs off McCullum's over at least keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Santner is delivering, and suddenly all New Zealand's Christmases have come at once. Scarcely has Joe Root exited stage left than Alex Hales is following him back to the shed, and it's the exact same dismissal: slog sweep, top edge, easy catch in the outfield. England's chase is unravelling like a hand-knitted sweater caught on a rusty nail.
"It is an important wicket from New Zealand. Root is an important player with a wide array of shots. If he gets into the rhythm of his game he can score quickly. New Zealand's bowling has not been of the accuracy they would like."

Now, I wasn't too bothered about the first wicket. Roy had done his task. This one though, this could be a killer.

"There is plenty of opportunity to exploit some of these bowlers for the England batsmen. Once you get through Boult and Southee, there are some less experienced players and you can look to attack Nathan McCullum."

Item number one on England's to-do list: put away the loose balls. Jason Roy ticks that one off the agenda by splatting a full toss from Southee to the cover boundary. It's swinging for the New Zealand bowlers, but they haven't made that early breakthrough.

That's better! Alex Hales eyes up a good-length ball from Trent Boult and wallops it into the stands at cow corner, where - good Lord, it's nearly hit New Zealand rugby legend Sean Fitzpatrick on the noggin. A smile for the cameras from Fitz. Hales then smacks an overpitched ball from Boult to the mid-off boundary, and England's powerplay is suddenly looking a lot rosier.
PACopyright: PA
Eng 31-0 (Roy 19, Hales 11)
The New Zealand bowlers have moved away from the pads and suddenly the England openers are wondering where the boundaries are going to come from. A vice-tight line from Southee keeps England under the pump.
"Boult is an experienced campaigner for New Zealand, mixing up his lines and lengths and bowling plenty of dot balls. The England pair are inexperienced so they will be feeling a little bit of pressure to get on with it."
Eng 29-0 (Boult 3-1-11-0)
The intent is there for all to see from Jason Roy, but the timing continues to elude him. A mistimed pull balloons into the air and lands safe. Trent Boult has an idea and goes to consult with Brendon McCullum. Permission granted. He's going around the wicket to Hales, trying to get a better look at the timbers. You miss, I hit. No mistake from Hales but it's another frustrating over for England, just a single from it. That required run rate is climbing, up to 8.4 now.

Small Man Peaky: If there are two players in England who will be able to ignore the scoreboard pressure it is Root and Buttler. Come on boys.
Eng 28-0 (target 399)
Suddenly, the pressure is on, the lasso just tightening palpably around the neck of Roy and Hales. Nine dot balls become 10, 11, 12, and the frozen scoreboard feels oppressive as Brendon McCullum cannily tinkers with his fieldsmen. Finally, Roy releases the chokehold, flicking a Southee delivery down to the fine-leg fence. Phew.

Ben in Windsor: Loving all the optimistic noises about potentially chasing down 400. If you had being saying that last week people would've called for the men in white coats with the big nets. Today it seems plausible, if wildy optimistic. Not many teams chase down 400, however good they are. Bring it on though!
Eng 23-0 (Roy 12, Hales 10)
A very fine comeback from the high-class Trent Boult after a wayward opening over. Alex Hales can't lay a glove on his six deliveries, ending the over with an ugly air-swipe. A maiden.
"There's your life young man. A decent delivery from Southee, bowling at the stumps. It went quickly to second slip, but it was a nice height and he should have caught it."
Dropped catch
Eng 23-0
Jason Roy isn't letting Tim Southee settle here. He gets a bit lucky when he pops up a leading edge that lands just short of cover, but his second shot is more deliberate, reaching well outside the off stump to scoop the ball down to the third-man boundary. Then Roy gets a huge life, offering a simple chance to Nathan McCullum at second slip, which the fielder somehow shells after an agonising juggle. Reprieve.

Eng 17-0 (target 399)
Alex Hales is channelling a character in a 1990s American high-school programme, sporting mismatched black long sleeves under his short-sleeved blue England top. Just missing a backwards baseball cap and a skateboard under the arm. It's a fast start from Hales, clipping Boult fine for four off his first ball and then square-driving the second for another boundary.
"I like the look of the England batting line-up. They can go hard - Hales and Roy can smash it to all parts if they get going - but if you lose a few wickets it's not the end of the world because you've got Rashid at eight, Billings at seven."
Eng 7-0 (Roy 6, Hales 0)
Jason Roy avoids the rather anticlimactic fate he suffered in the first ODI by shouldering arms to Southee's first ball, a leg-side wide. Then the Surrey man gets off the mark with a two into the leg side. And then Roy shows what he can really do, latching on to a short ball from Southee and whacking it to the square-leg boundary.
Post update
Phil, thank you. After the Brave New World of their batting display at Edgbaston, that was more of an old-school one-day bowling performance - and not in a good way. But can lightning strike twice? Can England score 400 again? The odds are against them, but with his batting line-up, who knows?
Post update
And with that hand you over to James Gheerbrant, who will see you through the England chase. And what a chase it promises to be...
"It was disappointing. When Kevin Pietersen wrote the book everyone assumed his career was over. You don't want to read those things, especially about someone and from someone I have huge respect for. Kevin may say in the future that he regrets what he wrote. I wasn't around that Ashes trip when it all seemed to kick off, I've heard both sides and I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between. I hope in the future, whenever it may be, they can shake hands."
"The first time I saw him I thought this lad is going places. His wicketkeeping was a work in progress, as it is with all young wicketkeepers, but I liked everything about him. He seemed a good person and the relationship grew from there.
"Bruce French took his keeping to another level. He made a 100 on debut, then had a little hiccup and was contemplating giving up the gloves. I told him he would be mad to do that. There are very few people the country who can do what you can do and he soon realised he was too good a keeper to take up the gloves. He turned himself into one of the best batsmen-keepers to take the gloves."
Matt Prior on the future: "I have cycling interests, which is going really well. It is good to be involved in a different sport. The one thing I know for sure is that I don't want to go far from cricket. It is a game I have loved from the age of eight. So if that is through the media or through Sussex, where I am going to be a club ambassador, or England. It would be sad to just walk away from the game. I have learned a lot and I hope to share that knowledge."
Matt Prior on Kevin Pietersen's book: "It was a very tough time, to hear things said about you and hear yourself described a certain way which you didn't recognise and your team-mates didn't recognise was tough to deal with. But I'm not the kind of person to hold grudges. You can choose to hold grudges or choose to let it go and I've chosen to let it go. The most important thing is England winning games of cricket.
"Kevin tweeted me yesterday, which was a very nice touch. Yesterday was potentially a very tough day, but it was made so much easier by all my team-mates. To get some of the messages I did was hugely humbling."
Matt Prior: "It was the beginning of last summer, I knew I had a bad injury that I was trying to overcome. I did a lot of work with doctors and physios to the point where I was with them more than training. I decided to carry on playing until I was no longer an asset. But eventually I became a liability and the pain got too much. It was a tough call to quit but it was one I had to make."

Here's one not to be missed. This Saturday on BBC Radio 4, Rory Bremner will look back on the career of Richie Benaud - the Australian cricketer and commentator whose death earlier this year saw an extraordinary outpouring of love and affection from players, friends and fellow journalists and commentators.
Matt Prior: "I can sit here very satisfied in that I literally have no regrets. Every day a coach or captain would say leave it all on the pitch and I quite literally did that and that's the reason I'm sitting here now. As a wicketkeeper I had to do that, I had to create the energy and I took that responsibility."
Former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior: "We knew it was going to be tough to go to Australia and win but we had the belief. We had played well before that series (2010-11) and everyone knew their role. Everyone peaked at the right time. Alastair Cook led from the front, the bowlers were magnificent. As a group we got it right in all departments."
During the interval...
TMS are just starting their Matt Prior tribute. You can listen in on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. We will bring you snippets of what is said over the next 25 minutes.
NZ 398-5
Santner hits the last ball down to fine leg where Adil Rashid fields. It leaves them with 398. Can it be considered a moral victory that England prevented them reaching 400? Regardless, the home side have one hell of a challenge in front of them if they are to win this. They need 399 runs from 50 overs at 7.96 an over.
"There have now been 53 boundaries - the most ever in a one-day international in England."

NZ 396-5
About half of the ball is hitting leg stump, but it is umpire's call. We will stick with the on-field call of not out. Still, it is a dot ball.
Umpire review
Another mis-field - from substitute David Willey at square-leg - gives New Zealand a boundary before Plunkett hits Taylor full on the pad. Plunkett thinks it is lbw and, after the on-field umpire shakes his head, calls for the review.

Tom in New Jersey: Historical scores mean nothing. Teams have just ripped up the rulebook over the past two years. It's been well documented. But I have a different hypothesis as to the reason. I don't think it's your McCullums, your ABs, your Gayles: there have always been power hitters. I think it's players like Williamson, Root, Amla, Steven Smith and Rilee Rossouw. This type of player used to take 120 balls to reach a century but now they're doing it in 80. Proper cricket shots. Little slogging. And it's giving the power hitters more balls to work with.

NZ 388-5
It has been a long day in the field for England and they are looking ragged. Morgan mis-fields at mid-off to allow New Zealand to scamper two, where only one was on offer. Taylor ends the penultimate over by timing well through cover for four. Six balls left for England to suffer, six for New Zealand to reach 400.
"This is the Ross Taylor I remember: quick hands, lightning instincts and sixes over wide midwicket. He's back."
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
NZ 380-5
Ross Taylor is looking like the player of old. He latches on to a length ball from Stokes and swipes it high into the stand at cow corner.
NZ 374-5
Santner ends the over with a boundary wide of long on. So, another ODI record has gone, with this being the new highest total in the format at the Oval.
"Taylor struggled a bit for the first 50 or so runs, couldn't find his timing, but he's worked through that and suddenly out came the pure strokes. The last 45 runs combined force and felicity and poise. I'm sure that will give him a lot of pressure."
100 for Taylor
NZ 370-5
Take a bow Ross Taylor. He reaches three figures with a single off Finn. It has not always been easy for the Kiwi, but he has worked hard for that. It only took him 87 balls to reach the century.

NZ 365-5 (Run-rate 7.76)
Looks like Jordan won't bowl a 10th over (or concede three-figures worth of runs). He is off the field. He was holding his side after that last over. Stokes takes over but is swatted over mid-on for four by Santner first ball. good one-handed stop by Finn at short fine leg prevents another boundary.
"It's asking a lot of a young man in his second one-day international to keep this rate going. I think he'll feel more comfortable against pace than spin."
NZ 357-5
Taylor keeps the assault going by chopping wide of third man for four.

NZ 353-5
A run out chance! Santner is the new man at the crease but he nearly de[parts in quick fashion as Morgan's throw beats his dive but fails to hit the stumps.
"A very good innings from Ronchi. A lot of big strikes there, almost a repeat of Elliott's effort. The middle part of this innings has fitted together and knitted together quite nicely."
WICKET
Ronchi c Buttler b Finn 33 (NZ 352-5)
Ronchi's short, effective innings comes to an end as he catches the thinnest of feathers as he looks to steer a short Finn ball behind the stumps. Buttler takes the catch and England are spared what Ronchi could have done to them in the final five overs. 400 is still on for the Kiwis but their wicket will hurt their chances of reaching it.

"When Ross Taylor first came into international cricket, I remember thinking he was a pure athlete. It's great to see signs of that again today."
NZ 351-4 (Taylor 89, Ronchi 33)
There is no respite for Jordan who bowls a full toss and is swatted to cow corner for four by Taylor. It is an indication that the bowler is trying to bowl yorkers but his execution is not good enough. He manages better on the second half of the over, but is getting very close to conceding over 100. 96 off his nine so far.
"To come out and suddenly hit with such power from seemingly little backlift is very impressive from Ronchi."
AFPCopyright: AFP
NZ 343-4 (Run-rate 7.79)
The decision to send in Ronchi ahead of Santner continues to pay dividends as he backs to leg and hits another six down the ground off Plunkett before swivelling on a short ball to fire the ball to the backward point boundary. The final ball is a slower one, but Ronchi spots it and lofts a back-foot drive over cover for four. The number six has 32 from 14 balls.
"There have now been 43 boundaries hit by New Zealand: the most boundaries ever scored in a one-day international at the Oval."
Post update
The highest score in one-day internationals at The Oval is 347-4 by New Zealand against the USA in the Champions Trophy in September 2004. This is only the 10th score in excess of 300 at the ground and the first since September 2007, when India chased down 317 against England.
NZ 328-4
Having fetched it in the first half of the over, Jordan bowls fuller and goes for just three more, including a wide.
"Jordan hasn't bowled that badly but they've just picked him off. The bowlers really need to have a good plan. The yorker seems to have been taken out of the bowler's armoury and I'm not sure why."
PACopyright: PA
NZ 325-4
Jordan continues after picking up a wicket with his final ball of the last over. He continues to concede runs, though, as Ronchi lofts a drive down the ground for six before flicking another over Plunkett at wide fine leg and the rope on the full.

NZ 313-4 (Ronchi 5, Taylor 81)
New Zealand shuffle their order to send in the big-hitting Luke Ronchi ahead of Mitchell Santner. Plunkett brings an end to the flurry of boundaries, going for just six.
"Grant Elliott didn't need to do that; he was flying along playing orthodox cricket shots. But he's come in and played an absolute blinder. He's done a similar job to the one Rashid did for England at Edgbaston and really kicked them on at the right time."

Elliott lbw Jordan 32 (NZ 307-4)
Elliott latches on to a Jordan short ball to pull for six, which he follows with another maximum off one knee to smash to cow cornerbefore hammering through cover for four. Jordan has the last laugh, though, bowling very full and quick to hit the South African on the boot bang in front. That is out. However, Jordan's figures do not make pretty reading - 7-0-74-1.

Billy Bunter 3rd: Oh dear, England return to short bowling; tactic needs sorting by new coach, who also needs to give team extra catching practice.
NZ 289-3
Finn takes the last over of the power play. A thankless task. Taylor guides a short ball down to the wide third-man boundary. Finn then beams him. Not intentionally, but still dangerously.
The batsman also offers Root a chance to run him out by setting off for a run before diving back in to beat the England fielder's wayward under-arm shy and taking all the skin off his elbow. That is going to sting. And he'll have a summer of knocking the scab off as well.
"Jordan hasn't bowled a very good line today. Anything off line at the Oval goes to the boundary. Finn has probably bowled the best line of all the England seamers today."
NZ 279-3 (Taylor 72, Elliott 14)
Jeremy Coney was questioning Taylor's eyes earlier. Well, both of them are in now. He clocks a full Jordan ball and sends it flying into the stand at cow corner for six. Massive. 18 off that over.
NZ 272-3
We're in boundary town. New Zealand continue to milk the power play as Elliott slices a swipe off Jordan over cover for three runs before Taylor pulls past point and then glances down to the rope at fine leg for successive fours.

NZ 246-3
Anyone who watched the World Cup knows that Grant Elliott is a dangerous customer. He comes down the track to Rashid, who readjusts and steers a ball in to avoid being clobbered again. 10 off that over, meaning Rashid has conceded 72 wicketless runs in his 10. What a difference three days can make.

Stokes, fired up by the wicket, charges in and nips one back to new man Grant Elliott that flies past his inside edge. Stokes thinks he's hit it but his appeal is half-hearted and turned down. Snicko shows the bowler may have had a real case. England have hit back well here with a concerted period of pressure leading to Williamson's wicket.

Stokes thinks he has a wicket with a full toss that Williamson fails to connect with a lobs up to mid-on. The umpire on the field is signalling no ball, though, for height. It's going to be reviewed. Big moment.

Sometimes you feel cruel describing something as a dropped catch, but technically Joe Root has just spilt one at short cover from a drive that Taylor absolutely belted at him. The England man dived but couldn't hold on.
NZ 232-2
Rashid is back into the attack and keeps up the pressure, going for just three runs, although he did get away with another full toss that was cut out on the edge before hitting the rope.
NZ 229-2
I think it is obvious what the theme of the New Zealand conference at drinks was: time to attack, mate. Taylor throws his bat at a short ball from Stokes and top-edges for four. He is denied another with a flashing into the off side that is cut out by Jason Roy at point. There is a batting power play due soon.

The wicket is not helping England's bowlers out at all. But Finn follows Stokes' lead with another tight over, in which he varies his pace to superb effect and goes for just two.

Stokes is next up to chance his arm. He keeps the Kiwi pair in check, limiting them to just three runs with a change of pace and length but a solid straight line. It is the kind of economical, challenging over England need if they are to prevent New Zealand setting them a 400+ total.

NZ 218-2 (Run-rate 7.03)
Is Steven Finn the man to make the breakthrough? Not on this evidence. Williamson shows no mercy with a pull through midwicket, followed by a superb, checked hit over mid-off for successive boundaries. The batsman almost plays on twice with subsequent balls but he has earned his luck.
"Williamson has been positive all the way through, but with touch and placement rather than power - a bit like Joe Root's innings at Edgbaston the other day. That's the new way to play what used to be called the anchor role."
NZ 209-2 (Williamson 80, Taylor 31)
New Zealand are able to pick up runs at will. They don't need to be aggressive to pick up nine from Root's latest. Double your total from 30 overs onwards? That'd just be the 418 for England to chase. The home side need to halt this Kiwi momentum, and soon.

Williamson looks very assured. Taylor less so. He tries to paddle a fullish ball from Rashid down to fine leg but top-edges over Buttler.

"Bowled," says Phil Tufnell in the TMS commentary box. Praise from one England spin generation to the next. Just one run from the over.
"Guptill will be disappointed with that. He was looking set. He was getting into position for that Brian Lara flick-pull round the corner, but the ball from Stokes just rushed him. It's a big wicket at a good time for England."
WICKET
Guptill c Jordan b Stokes 50 (NZ 114-2)
Guptill has been largely in control for his 50 runs but after passing the milestone, he pulls out a loose stroke to pull straight to Jordan at short mid-wicket. Good pair of hands, Jordan. He's not going to drop those. Bonus for England. This New Zealand pair were looking good.
"Guptill hits the ball hard. He picks up his gravy with ones and twos in the off side, but when he hits it, he's a big lad and he does commit to it."
50 for Guptill
NZ 114-1
New Zealand have been in consolidation mode somewhat since McCullum fell but Guptill has kept the score ticking along with a run-a-ball half-century, his 23rd in ODIs.
"Rashid seems to have one poor ball an over. That's something he needs to work on. I think he's a great talent - he just gives the batsman that bit of indecision when he turns it both ways - but that's why England have been reserved in picking him."
NZ 112-1 Guptill 48, Williamson 19)
After a drinks break on the field, during which I've also had a much-needed cup of tea delivered (yes, delivered - it's one of the perks of being in the text commentator's chair), Rashid continues. Guptill is unforgiving, though, and whacks wide of mid-on for four before smashing past the diving bowler for another boundary.

NZ 103-1
Eoin Morgan continues to rotate his bowlers, bringing Ben Stokes on for his first taste with the ball. The ginger-topper seamer sometimes takes time to find a rhythm and starts with a very loose wide down leg. Stokes tightens up, with the only other runs coming from dragged pull to deep square from Williamson for two.
"I admire Rashid's bravery. He is tossing it up outside the off stump, encouraging the drive, trying to get wickets."
Email tms@bbc.co.uk
Stanley Stearman: My only real worry about this team is the bowling options. If a bowler gets hit about, like Jordan has just been, I'm not sure whether Root can be entrusted with too many overs - and can Stokes bowl 10 good overs? I'd maybe like to see Willey instead of Billings?
NZ 100-1 (Williamson 17, Guptill 39)
Adil Rashid brings some spin into the attack. He played a starring role at Edgbaston with 4-55. But he is welcomed here with a shocking piece of fielding at deep square-leg from Alex Hales, who runs in to field and misses the ball, allowing it to trickle to the boundary to give Williamson four. The rest of the over is neat and tidy, with the Yorkshire bowler finding some turn.
Anderson ruled out of series

New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson has been ruled out of the one-day series with a back injury.
The 24-year-old suffered the injury during the first Test at Lord's and missed the second Test and first ODI.
Anderson, who was named in the Team of the Tournament at the recent World Cup, will return to New Zealand for further assessment.
NZ 93-1
The boundaries have dried up but England's attacking field has left gaps for New Zealand to find, which Guptill does with a push towards wide mid-on area that brings him two off Plunkett. The Kiwis can afford to be more reserved after their start, though. They have a superb platform.

NZ 89-1 (Guptill 35, Williamson 10)
Williamson moves into double figures with a back-foot punch through extra-cover for three. New Zealand remain positive, but not as aggressive as earlier when McCullum was at the crease. Jordan does well to concede just the one more run. The run-rate is now under seven. At one stage it was threatening nine.

"Morgan is still being quite aggressive with his field-setting here. It just shows that England still want to take wickets even though the restrictions are off."
NZ 85-1
We've got close catchers in on either side as Plunkett starts to Williamson. A single brings Guptill back and the field quickly retreats to a more defensive setting. The attacking to field to Williamson makes sense. After being a run machine not long ago, with seven half-centuries in nine innings, he hasn't reached 50 in his last nine. Still averages mid-40s, though. Six off the over.
NZ 79-1 (Williamson 3, Guptill 33)
Jordan got mauled by McCullum earlier but with the Kiwi skipper gone, the opening bowler returns. He is shown much more respect by Williamson, and rightly so as a wide down leg and a flick to mid-wicket for a single bring the only runs of the over.

Ben Wire: Hope Plunkett does well today because of the onomatopoeia in his name. It's almost a verb, too. McCullum just Plunked-it.
NZ 77-1 (Run-rate 7.70)
Guptill is a different animal to McCullum but he can be just as effective as an aggressor. He punches a drive off Plunkett to send the ball flying through extra cover for four. Lovely shot. He then hammers a drive through mid-on for another four. That is even lovelier.

NZ 67-1
There is much to admire about Steven Finn, but he does occasionally bowl a 'hit me' short ball. He gets away with one this over as Williamson doesn't quite connect on the pull. In the context of this start from New Zealand, five runs off your over is a rare achievement.
NZ 62-1 (Guptill 20, Williamson 0)
Plunkett's first over is as neat as his sculpted beard. He is bowling at a fair lick as well. One ball has fellow Yorkshire player Kane Williamson weaving out of the way.
"It's another situation where McCullum has faced 22 balls, where with a little bit more discipline he might have faced 44, and it would have been a different story."

Eoin Morgan shuffles his pack, bringing on Liam Plunkett for Jordan and England are rewarded as McCullum looks to pull from short of a length and top-edges high for Ben Stokes to turn and catch at midwicket. It is a much-needed wicket for the home side to bring a threatening New Zealand innings to an end.

Finn's radar goes slightly awry with a couple of wides - one way outside off, the other down leg. He then receives the McCullum treatment courtesy of a late cut through backward point for four. England need a re-think. They haven't bowled many deliveries at McCullum's stumps so far.

We Review Anything: McCullum batting like an elevated tailender again. He'll probably get 100 off 60, but it's grim to watch.
Sam Ager: McCullum got a hot date tonight?
NZ 50-0 (McCullum 33, Guptill 16)
Jordan is unlucky. He angles a short ball into McCullum, which he edges on to the side of his helmet and over Ben Stokes at second slip for four. McCullum has 33 from 18 balls. Ominous.
NZ 45-0
McCullum is on the charge. Jordan is the victim as the Kiwi skipper takes him for a four and then two sixes, the last of them a huge hit on the pull that comes right out of the middle of the bat and sends the ball bouncing off and over the stand. New balls please.

Guptill gets in on the act with a drive off Finn through extra cover for four. It was said at the start that this is a superb pitch and we've seen nothing so far to dispute that. There is absolutely no room for error from the bowlers, as Guptill illustrates with a pull from a bouncer to send the ball over the rope at backward point. New Zealand going well.
"50 overs seems an enormous length of time. If you can get in, you can get an enormous amount of runs, especially on good pitches and fast outfields."
NZ 19-0 (Guptill 6, McCullum 12)
APCopyright: AP
McCullum welcomes Jordan back by taking a step and half and swinging wildly as the ball flies past the bat. If he'd connected, Kennington station was in danger. He does connect with the penultimate ball, which he smashes low through cover for four.
"I'm very interested to see how McCullum plays today. I think there's a chance he will continue with this high-risk approach. He will take a very overt style to trying to win the battle for length. I think he's a bit better than that: I'd like to see the same urgency but without indiscretion."
NZ 12-0
A Guptill prod into off to get him off the mark, gives us McCullum v Finn part three. The former signals his intent by clubbing one over mid-on that just holds up to bring the batsman two. He then aggressively whips another single down to wide fine leg. Finn drops a touch too short and wide with his final ball and Guptill hammers a cut through point for four. This pitch is simply too good for slight lapses like that.
"That just emphasises how fast McCullum's hands are. Whereas Guptill was just looking to play off the back foot and defend to Finn, McCullum was into that shot so quickly."
NZ 4-0 (Guptill 0, McCullum 4)
Get your eye in Brendon? Nah, I won't bother thanks. Jordan drops slightly short and the batsman is on it in a flash, pulling away to the wide mid-on boundary. Jordan responds well, though, with a couple that beat the Kiwi skipper for pace outside off stump.
"That was an excellent first over from Finn - right on target."
NZ 0-0
Good line and length. Good pace and bounce. Finn starts very well, keeping Guptill tied up at the striker's end for a maiden. He darts one past a flashing drive and then pins the batsman back in his crease a couple of times, with the ball bouncing just the stumps from the first and then smashing the econd painfully into Guptill's glove.
Post update
As is now standard, Jerusalem echoes around the Oval as the England players make their way out on to the pitch, followed soon after by Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum. The latter will be aiming to do much better than his first-over dismissal in the first match. Steven Finn has the ball in his hand, ready to continue his recent personal tussle with the Kiwi skipper...
BBC Weather's Darren Bett: "It's humid out there, it's quite warm. It's 22 degrees at the moment but it could reach 25 or 26 degrees and once we get to that temperature we could get some home-grown showers. There is also a chance of some heavy thundery showers at around 15:00 BST - they might hit or they might miss."
"It is overcast but it looks a belting surface - it's a nice, straw-coloured pitch and I think there are plenty of runs there. It's a difficult ground to defend, the Oval."
Post update
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special
"I think England needed some inspiration after what happened at the World Cup and I think that inspiration is there. I wouldn't change this squad at all - England need to back this crop of players and I think they will shine."
Excitement at the Oval
So often, before England ODI games, the over-riding emotions have been fear and trepidation but there is a sense of excitement around the Kia Oval ahead of this match. Edgbaston has lifted everyone: players, fans, even us journalists, and we're a right miserable bunch.
"It was an amazing game at Edgbaston. It is only one game and you can guarantee that New Zealand will come back hard. England have obviously changed their mindset but they've got to back it up today."
"Expectations have been raised somewhat around this youthful England team with an attacking mindset. It has got a muggy feel out there so maybe the white ball might do a bit."
So you might want to just check your optimism a tad and stir in a big spoonful of realism. England are trying to do something new, something alien to their recent one-day sensibility, something difficult, and against a side who have provided a template for the world, no less.
A plea: judge this England side not on what they achieve right now but on how they attempt to achieve it. If the methods are correct, consistent results will follow. They have a long journey ahead, so best just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Finn on a new England
England bowler Steven Finn, speaking on Sky Sports: "It is going to be a good battle throughout the series [between him and Brendon McCullum, who he dismissed in the first over at Edgbaston]. I knew it was a big wicket for us because of what he can do. We wanted to start this new era on a positive note and we did that."
"It was a fantastic feeling after the other night. We wanted to play with that freedom and to do that was a big milestone. To perform and deliver is a start but there is a lot of hard work needed for us to be consistent."
Prior on retirement
Former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior on Sky Sports: "I had planned to come back and play for Sussex early season and knock on the door for England but unfortunately that hasn't been the case and I've been forced to retire. I'm very proud of what I achieved but ultimately what the team achieved.
"I've been very impressed by Jos Buttler, particularly his keeping in the Test match at Lord's. The future is bright for him."

What we need is a montage
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Three and a half months. That is how long it has been since England were beaten - nay, humiliated - by New Zealand in Wellington at the World Cup. Bowled out for a meagre 123 they were then taken to the cleaners by Brendon McCullum, whose 18-ball 50, en route to 77, helped guide his side home in 12.2 overs.
Since that body blow, England suffered another few punches to the gut, lay winded for a while before finally dusting themselves down, slowing rising to their feet and set about figuring out how to avoid receiving such a kicking again in the future (if it was a Rocky film they'd have been running down the beach with Apollo Creed).
New Zealand make one change, with Tim Southee returning after being rested at Edgbaston. He takes Matt Henry's place.
Unsurprisingly, England are unchanged.
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I would have liked to have first dibs on this pitch. The boys are ecstatic. There is a real buzz around the camp. We need to drive things forward and not worry about results. I don't feel any extra pressure or expectation. We are in the process of changing the way we play."
Captain's view
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It is a good surface. It is a good chance to get some runs on the board. Last game we were out-played but credit to England for playing how they did. This is a chance for us to execute a game plan by getting some runs on the board."
Toss
New Zealand win the toss and will bat
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
Brendon McCullum calls heads. Heads it is. New Zealand will bat. No surprises there. It is a good track and McCullum may still be smarting from sticking England in at Edgbaston.
A brave, new world
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Brave. At 0-1, 180-4 and 202-6, England could easily have abandoned the much-promised and newly-practised positivity they began with at Edgbaston and retreated back into their well-trodden shell. They didn't.
New. Players, attitude, belief and records; take your pick. Everything about England felt fresh and new on Tuesday, from the cap David Lloyd handed to Sam Billings to the uncharted territory into which they ventured in the final over of their innings.
World. Well, let's not get ahead of yourselves. Let's start with two wins on the bounce and maybe a series win and see how we go from there...

You're not going to want to miss the next match in this pulsating series. And you only have to wait two days for these sides to meet again at the Rose Bowl. Join us at 10:00 BST for that. Until then, goodbye.

Fenners: D/L not fit for purpose. Needs changing. Why not play last 4 overs? And how does 9 an over become 15 an over?
Ben Fox: Respect to NZ for not celebrating - they were gifted the win in the end. Not undeserved, however.
Rob Meech: How outdated a coach does Peter Moores look now? He got the tactics at the World Cup horribly wrong.
Man of the match
New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor is named man of the match.
He says: "It was probably a par of 360/370, it was a very good surface. It was a good game and hopefully it's another good game at the Rose Bowl. I think I was probably trying a bit too hard at the Oval to find some form, so I've just tried to express myself and hit a few out of the middle."
Captain's reaction
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It was terrifying at times. This England team are playing a completely different brand of cricket to what they've played in recent times.
"Also credit to our boys, we held our nerve there under pressure at the end. Both teams put up a hell of a fight.
"There are no guarantees in this day and age. Neither team probably deserved to lose but it was a great day for us. Ross Taylor was outstanding. We were probably looking at about 250 until he stepped it up."
Captain's reaction
England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "It was epic. These are the game of cricket that we want to play in, The style of cricket we emulated today was fantastic and I'm really proud of the way we went about the chase.
"I'm a bit disappointed with our fielding and the way we executed our bowling but credit to New Zealand. When you're chasing a total like that, the scoreboard is irrelevant - it's the manner in which you play that is important. It's not a bad day for us and it's a continuation of the way we want to play our cricket.
"I'm close to my best, I struck it quite well today. Personally I think the Duckworth-Lewis method will change."

"I think we are going to see these teams going at each other in every match. No batsman is going to take a backward step and walk off wondering."
Match review
It was another extraordinary match in what has so far been an utterly memorable tour. New Zealand looked to have put the game well beyond England's reach with a brilliant batting display, one in which Ross Taylor - who made a belligerent century - and Kane Williamson starred as they posted 398-5.
What followed was a magnificent effort by England that really underlined their dramatic transformation into a powerful, aggressive one-day side. Jason Roy and Alex Hales got them off to a fast start and then Eoin Morgan took over with a magnificent innings, hitting a sparkling 88 off just 47 balls.
When he was out shortly after Jos Buttler, it seemed the game was up for England. But some thrilling lower-order tap from Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett took England within sight of the finish line - before rain intervened...
Champagne moment
New Zealand beat England by 13 runs (D/L)
So New Zealand have completed a victory by 13 runs. They were under siege at the end, but ultimately that superb bating effort was - just - enough to see them home.

A thrilling game ends with a play and a miss from Finn, and New Zealand have squared the series.

Well, that is extraordinary. Rashid hammers McCullum down the ground, it looks like a six, but Tim Southee reels it in and lobs it back infield as his momentum takes him over the rope, for Trent Boult to complete the catch. Stunning teamwork.

The revised bowling conditions mean that Tim Southee can only bowl one more delivery. Mitchell McClenaghan can't bowl any more. So I guess that's why New Zealand are turning to Grant Elliott. And as I type, he's getting some good-luck handshakes from his team-mates, like a plucky Tommy about to be sent over the top.

By the way, this is the third most runs ever scored in any one-day international, and it's beaten the previous record for an ODI in England by 92. And we're not done yet!

Here's the important info. England are behind on the Duckworth-Lewis par score. They need 354, so if there's no resumption New Zealand will win. However, we have an extra half-hour built in for just such eventualities, so we don't start losing time until 20:51 BST.

Rain stops play
Can you believe it? Brendon McCullum glances beseechingly at Steve Davis, and it works. The covers are coming on, with the rain falling steadily. The game doesn't deserve this...
Eng 345-7
England need a boundary, and Adil Rashid provides it with a terrifically cheeky bit of improvisation! He gets over to the off side and scoops Southee to the midwicket boundary for four. But then...
Eng 340-7
Oh dear, you don't want to be doing that Liam. He leaves a legal delivery from Southee's first ball, then scampers a single off the second. Rashid wants two when he hits Southee into the off side, but slips on the wet surface as he turns. This is now England's highest ever ODI total batting second, and the rain is falling...

Another one down in the field for New Zealand. Guptill drops a skier from Plunkett, who responds by launching Southee into the stands for six! It's not over.
Eng 313-7 (need 86 off 54 balls)
So, 90 needed off the final 10 overs. Can England make an unlikely stab at this? Will the weather gods intervene? Plunkett is charging like a frisky bull at Pamplona - he's itching to get down the track and give Boult the heave-ho, but he can't quite muscle him away. Four runs only make it a frustrating over for England, but here's the good news - Boult's done for the day.
Eng 309-7 (target 399)
Well, these two still believe. Plunkett welcomes Mitchell Santner back into the attack by clubbing him down the ground for four to bring up England's 300 - and that's with 64 balls left. Taken in isolation, this has been another terrific batting effort. Rashid then reaches to sweep Santner powerfully for four. But I think England's fun could be about to be ended...they're scurrying for umbrellas in the stands.

Rashid gets down on one knee and gives it some humpty, smacking McClenaghan through the covers. Seven off the over, England need more, and suddenly the stormclouds are looming. That's not a metaphor by the way - I think the rain's a-coming.

Morgan c Elliott b McClenaghan 88 (Eng 274-6)
The batting powerplay was always a reliable harbinger of doom for England Mk 1, and I'm afraid it might have done for New Look England as well here. After just two balls with the fielding restrictions, Morgan goes down the pitch to McClenaghan, mistimes an attempted lofted drive and skews it to Grant Elliott on the rope. Big, big wicket.
Smith out for 199
Meanwhile in a different match, in a different format, Steve Smith was out for 199 as Australia made 399 all out in their first innings against West Indies in the second Test in Jamaica. Jerome Taylor took a brilliant 6-47 off 25 overs for the hosts, including Smith (above). The scorecard is here.
Drinks break
Eng 273-5 (Morgan 88, Billings 10)
Next man in Adil Rashid is amusing himself in a swivel chair on the England balcony. Whatever soothes your nerves in this situation, I guess. Trent Boult is proving probably the hardest of the New Zealand bowlers to time, but Morgan and Billings manage to swat and smear four ugly singles. In the outfield, Kiwi skipper Brendon McCullum is giving that chewing gum a real working over. He'll have to spit it out now though - it's drinks.

"Eoin Morgan's game looks so organised right now. He is getting in the right positions and hitting it so cleanly."

Santner continues, and Morgan smokes him over mid-off for another big six. He's threatening Jos Buttler's record for the fastest England century here. That came of 61 balls, Morgan has 85 off 42. Even better, the required rate is down below eight.
Eng 249-4 (Boult 5-1-29-0)
Boult is back. Can he keep a lid on this? Buttler times him through the off side for two and then nudges him fine to the fine-leg boundary. So extraordinary has Morgan's innings been, Buttler hasn't even been required to get out of it second gear yet, but he's just beginning to motor.

Danger has a name. That name is Mitchell Santner. He spun the England runaway train off its tracks earlier today and now Brendon McCullum has called on the young spinner to do it again. But Eoin Morgan is on the rampage. He doesn't care for caution. He smashes Santner into the sightscreen, sweeps him fine down the leg side and then bops him back over his head again for another six. He's seeing it like a football at the moment!

50 for Morgan
Eng 223-4 (Morgan 60, Buttler 31)
England, so miserably abject, so prehistorically slow at the World Cup, are rocketing along at 7.5 an over and it doesn't look odd on them. They've dispensed with that fusty old straitjacket, slipped into this funky, modern new suit and decided that they quite like the cut of it. Morgan brings up his fifty in 28 balls with a crashed four through cover, then adds a couple more belligerent boundaries with a slap through mid-off and a crisp lofted drive in the same region.
Eng 209-4 (run rate 7.46)
The big shots keep coming, and luckily for England they keep evading the fielder. McClenaghan's over invites three big heaves, none of them reaching the boundary, but England's charmed batsmen scamper their way through for another seven runs.

Dropped catch

Look, England might not chase this total down, they might yet fold for 250, but how refreshing is it to see the positive, have-a-go spirit that they've brought to this stiffest of challenges. Really positive signs. And just as I say that, Buttler should be back in the hutch. He fences at a wide one from Southee and edges a simple chance to Ross Taylor at second slip, but the fielder puts it down. On such moments...
Eng 196-4 (Morgan 42, Buttler 22)
Buttler pounces on short balls like a cheetah pounces on its lunch. McClenaghan digs one in and the England keeper dispatches it to the midwicket fence with a glorious crack. What a noise that made.

Morgan gets one right out of the screws, stepping down the track and marmalising McCulum over long-on for six. And then it's Buttler's turn to tee off, pulling for four and then absolutely hammering one into the stands at midwicket. Wowzers. 19 off the over.

Eng 172-4 (target 399)
Mitchell McClenaghan has a touch of the suave Hollywood villain about him with his slick, floppy fringe and piercing blue eyes. Jos Buttler, his softly-spoken demeanour belying immense brawn, is a very English sort of action hero. And like many action heroes, there's a serious bounty on his head. If New Zealand can get him, they win this match. Good over from McClenaghan, just a two and a wide.
Eng 169-4 (Morgan 34, Buttler 4)
So, we reach a crucial stage of this match. England are well ahead of New Zealand at this stage and have two of their most destructive batsman at the crease, but after them...not so much. Nathan McCullum, who I think has bowled very well, produces another tight over, just five from it.

England are 18 runs ahead of New Zealand at this stage. 18 whole runs! They could wrap this up with time to spare! McCullum goes to the Random Part-Time Bowler Generator and comes up with Martin Guptill's off-spin. It's a rather chastening over for the occasional twirler, who sends down an appetising melange of half-trackers and wide balls, and is taken for 12 runs by England's delighted batsmen. Wry smirk on Brendon McCullum's face. That's one weird experiment that cricket captaincy's mad scientist might not be repeating.

Eng 133-3 (N McCullum 5-0-39-1)
With spin in operation from both ends, Morgan removes his helmet. As anyone who works on a building site will tell you though, that can spell danger. The skipper gets very lucky when he gets a loopy edge that just eludes slip, and then Stokes gets a bit of good fortune when he mistimes that evades Brendon McCullum's sprawling dive at extra-cover. Stokes makes the most of it by nailing a big maximum over midwicket. And that'll be drinks.

On the balcony, ominously, Jason Roy is staring disconsolately at a laptop. Step away from the data, Jase - that way madness lies. Morgan deflects the surprisingly deadly Santner off his pads for three to get up and running, and then smears an enormous six over the ropes at mid-on. Better.
Eng 107-3 (Morgan 0, Stokes 5)

Santner is delivering, and suddenly all New Zealand's Christmases have come at once.

Now, I wasn't too bothered about the first wicket. Roy had done his task. This one though, this could be a killer. It's the key man, Joe Root, and it's callow tweaker Mitchell Santner who has done for him, enticing him into an ill-judged slog-sweep which goes more up than away and is pouched by Nathan McCullum. Big wicket.

Spin from both ends as Brendon McCullum introduces the latest inductee to international cricket's ever-growing band of Mitchells, Mr Santner. There's a bit of turn for Santner, but Hales exploits it nicely, playing the ball late and just ladling it down to third man to move to his fifty.

That's better! Alex Hales eyes up a good-length ball from Trent Boult and wallops it into the stands at cow corner, where - good Lord, it's nearly hit New Zealand rugby legend Sean Fitzpatrick on the noggin.

The intent is there for all to see from Jason Roy, but the timing continues to elude him. A mistimed pull balloons into the air and lands safe. Trent Boult has an idea and goes to consult with Brendon McCullum. Permission granted. He's going around the wicket to Hales, trying to get a better look at the timbers. You miss, I hit.

Jason Roy isn't letting Tim Southee settle here. He gets a bit lucky when he pops up a leading edge that lands just short of cover, but his second shot is more deliberate, reaching well outside the off stump to scoop the ball down to the third-man boundary. Then Roy gets a huge life, offering a simple chance to Nathan McCullum at second slip, which the fielder somehow shells after an agonising juggle. Reprieve.

Alex Hales is channelling a character in a 1990s American high-school programme, sporting mismatched black long sleeves under his short-sleeved blue England top.

Jason Roy avoids the rather anticlimactic fate he suffered in the first ODI by shouldering arms to Southee's first ball, a leg-side wide. Then the Surrey man gets off the mark with a two into the leg side. And then Roy shows what he can really do, latching on to a short ball from Southee and whacking it to the square-leg boundary.

Phil, thank you. After the Brave New World of their batting display at Edgbaston, that was more of an old-school one-day bowling performance - and not in a good way. But can lightning strike twice? Can England score 400 again? The odds are against them, but with his batting line-up, who knows?

"The first time I saw him I thought this lad is going places. His wicketkeeping was a work in progress, as it is with all young wicketkeepers, but I liked everything about him. He seemed a good person and the relationship grew from there.
"Bruce French took his keeping to another level. He made a 100 on debut, then had a little hiccup and was contemplating giving up the gloves. I told him he would be mad to do that. There are very few people the country who can do what you can do and he soon realised he was too good a keeper to take up the gloves. He turned himself into one of the best batsmen-keepers to take the gloves."

Every day a coach or captain would say leave it all on the pitch and I quite literally did that and that's the reason I'm sitting here now. As a wicketkeeper I had to do that, I had to create the energy and I took that responsibility."
Prior on the series win in Australia
BBC Radio Test Match Special
Former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior: "We knew it was going to be tough to go to Australia and win but we had the belief. We had played well before that series (2010-11) and everyone knew their role. Everyone peaked at the right time. Alastair Cook led from the front, the bowlers were magnificent. As a group we got it right in all departments."
During the interval...
TMS are just starting their Matt Prior tribute. You can listen in on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. We will bring you snippets of what is said over the next 25 minutes.
NZ 398-5
Santner hits the last ball down to fine leg where Adil Rashid fields. It leaves them with 398. Can it be considered a moral victory that England prevented them reaching 400? Regardless, the home side have one hell of a challenge in front of them if they are to win this. They need 399 runs from 50 overs at 7.96 an over.

"There have now been 53 boundaries - the most ever in a one-day international in England."
NZ 396-5
About half of the ball is hitting leg stump, but it is umpire's call. We will stick with the on-field call of not out. Still, it is a dot ball.
Umpire review
Another mis-field - from substitute David Willey at square-leg - gives New Zealand a boundary before Plunkett hits Taylor full on the pad. Plunkett thinks it is lbw and, after the on-field umpire shakes his head, calls for the review.

Tom in New Jersey: Historical scores mean nothing. Teams have just ripped up the rulebook over the past two years. It's been well documented. But I have a different hypothesis as to the reason. I don't think it's your McCullums, your ABs, your Gayles: there have always been power hitters. I think it's players like Williamson, Root, Amla, Steven Smith and Rilee Rossouw. This type of player used to take 120 balls to reach a century but now they're doing it in 80. Proper cricket shots. Little slogging. And it's giving the power hitters more balls to work with.

NZ 388-5
It has been a long day in the field for England and they are looking ragged. Morgan mis-fields at mid-off to allow New Zealand to scamper two, where only one was on offer. Taylor ends the penultimate over by timing well through cover for four. Six balls left for England to suffer, six for New Zealand to reach 400.

Ross Taylor is looking like the player of old. He latches on to a length ball from Stokes and swipes it high into the stand at cow corner.

"Taylor struggled a bit for the first 50 or so runs, couldn't find his timing, but he's worked through that and suddenly out came the pure strokes. The last 45 runs combined force and felicity and poise. I'm sure that will give him a lot of pressure."
100 for Taylor
NZ 370-5
Take a bow Ross Taylor. He reaches three figures with a single off Finn. It has not always been easy for the Kiwi, but he has worked hard for that. It only took him 87 balls to reach the century.
NZ 365-5 (Run-rate 7.76)
Looks like Jordan won't bowl a 10th over (or concede three-figures worth of runs). He is off the field. He was holding his side after that last over. Stokes takes over but is swatted over mid-on for four by Santner first ball. good one-handed stop by Finn at short fine leg prevents another boundary.

Ronchi c Buttler b Finn 33 (NZ 352-5)
Ronchi's short, effective innings comes to an end as he catches the thinnest of feathers as he looks to steer a short Finn ball behind the stumps. Buttler takes the catch and England are spared what Ronchi could have done to them in the final five overs. 400 is still on for the Kiwis but their wicket will hurt their chances of reaching it.

"When Ross Taylor first came into international cricket, I remember thinking he was a pure athlete. It's great to see signs of that again today."
NZ 351-4 (Taylor 89, Ronchi 33)
There is no respite for Jordan who bowls a full toss and is swatted to cow corner for four by Taylor. It is an indication that the bowler is trying to bowl yorkers but his execution is not good enough. He manages better on the second half of the over, but is getting very close to conceding over 100. 96 off his nine so far.

"To come out and suddenly hit with such power from seemingly little backlift is very impressive from Ronchi."
NZ 343-4 (Run-rate 7.79)
The decision to send in Ronchi ahead of Santner continues to pay dividends as he backs to leg and hits another six down the ground off Plunkett before swivelling on a short ball to fire the ball to the backward point boundary. The final ball is a slower one, but Ronchi spots it and lofts a back-foot drive over cover for four. The number six has 32 from 14 balls.

The highest score in one-day internationals at The Oval is 347-4 by New Zealand against the USA in the Champions Trophy in September 2004. This is only the 10th score in excess of 300 at the ground and the first since September 2007, when India chased down 317 against England.

"Jordan hasn't bowled that badly but they've just picked him off. The bowlers really need to have a good plan. The yorker seems to have been taken out of the bowler's armoury and I'm not sure why."
NZ 325-4
Jordan continues after picking up a wicket with his final ball of the last over. He continues to concede runs, though, as Ronchi lofts a drive down the ground for six before flicking another over Plunkett at wide fine leg and the rope on the full.

"Grant Elliott didn't need to do that; he was flying along playing orthodox cricket shots. But he's come in and played an absolute blinder. He's done a similar job to the one Rashid did for England at Edgbaston and really kicked them on at the right time."
WICKET
Elliott lbw Jordan 32 (NZ 307-4)
Elliott latches on to a Jordan short ball to pull for six, which he follows with another maximum off one knee to smash to cow cornerbefore hammering through cover for four. Jordan has the last laugh, though, bowling very full and quick to hit the South African on the boot bang in front. That is out. However, Jordan's figures do not make pretty reading - 7-0-74-1.

Billy Bunter 3rd: Oh dear, England return to short bowling; tactic needs sorting by new coach, who also needs to give team extra catching practice.
NZ 289-3
Finn takes the last over of the power play. A thankless task. Taylor guides a short ball down to the wide third-man boundary. Finn then beams him. Not intentionally, but still dangerously.
The batsman also offers Root a chance to run him out by setting off for a run before diving back in to beat the England fielder's wayward under-arm shy and taking all the skin off his elbow. That is going to sting. And he'll have a summer of knocking the scab off as well.

Jeremy Coney was questioning Taylor's eyes earlier. Well, both of them are in now. He clocks a full Jordan ball and sends it flying into the stand at cow corner for six. Massive. 18 off that over.
NZ 272-3
We're in boundary town. New Zealand continue to milk the power play as Elliott slices a swipe off Jordan over cover for three runs before Taylor pulls past point and then glances down to the rope at fine leg for successive fours.

Elliott is quickly into his stride, finding a gap with a shot into the off side from a Stokes full toss for four before timing a wide, length delivery between point and cover for another boundary. Taylor then rubs salt in the wound by slicing a six over third man. A punishing over for Stokes and England.
NZ 246-3
Anyone who watched the World Cup knows that Grant Elliott is a dangerous customer. He comes down the track to Rashid, who readjusts and steers a ball in to avoid being clobbered again. 10 off that over, meaning Rashid has conceded 72 wicketless runs in his 10. What a difference three days can make.

NZ 235-3 (Taylor 43, Elliott 0)
Stokes, fired up by the wicket, charges in and nips one back to new man Grant Elliott that flies past his inside edge. Stokes thinks he's hit it but his appeal is half-hearted and turned down. Snicko shows the bowler may have had a real case. England have hit back well here with a concerted period of pressure leading to Williamson's wicket.

"A good quick full toss is very difficult to deal with, even if you are on 93, but I think Williamson will feel a bit aggrieved. "
WICKET
Williamson c Plunkett b Stokes 93 (NZ 235-3)
The decision is reversed! England have their man! Replays show the ball was legal as it was not over waist-high. Williamson goes, just as he was looking to attack in the power play.
Umpire review
Stokes thinks he has a wicket with a full toss that Williamson fails to connect with a lobs up to mid-on. The umpire on the field is signalling no ball, though, for height. It's going to be reviewed. Big moment.
Dropped catch
Sometimes you feel cruel describing something as a dropped catch, but technically Joe Root has just spilt one at short cover from a drive that Taylor absolutely belted at him. The England man dived but couldn't hold on.
NZ 232-2
Rashid is back into the attack and keeps up the pressure, going for just three runs, although he did get away with another full toss that was cut out on the edge before hitting the rope.
NZ 229-2
I think it is obvious what the theme of the New Zealand conference at drinks was: time to attack, mate. Taylor throws his bat at a short ball from Stokes and top-edges for four. He is denied another with a flashing into the off side that is cut out by Jason Roy at point. There is a batting power play due soon.

NZ 223-2 (Williamson 91, Taylor 33)
The wicket is not helping England's bowlers out at all. But Finn follows Stokes' lead with another tight over, in which he varies his pace to superb effect and goes for just two. The pressure it creates is clear to see as Williamson is sent back at the non-striker's end by Taylor and is almost run out from a throw from backward point. That'll be drinks.

Stokes is next up to chance his arm. He keeps the Kiwi pair in check, limiting them to just three runs with a change of pace and length but a solid straight line. It is the kind of economical, challenging over England need if they are to prevent New Zealand setting them a 400+ total.

NZ 218-2 (Run-rate 7.03)
Is Steven Finn the man to make the breakthrough? Not on this evidence. Williamson shows no mercy with a pull through midwicket, followed by a superb, checked hit over mid-off for successive boundaries. The batsman almost plays on twice with subsequent balls but he has earned his luck.

New Zealand are able to pick up runs at will. They don't need to be aggressive to pick up nine from Root's latest. Double your total from 30 overs onwards? That'd just be the 418 for England to chase. The home side need to halt this Kiwi momentum, and soon.

Williamson looks very assured. Taylor less so. He tries to paddle a fullish ball from Rashid down to fine leg but top-edges over Buttler. He then fails to connect with a slog-sweep to a full ball that only brings him a single. Hales has to field a couple from deep square-leg and gets a cheer r each time he does from the crowd behind him, who remember his little error earlier. All in the name of fun.

Plunkett returns but veers down leg and is flicked away for four by Taylor. He is plundered for another boundary by Williamson, who plays that dab shot with an angled bat that brought him a lot of joy during the Test series. He is like a surgeon at the crease, delicately picking apart the bowling attack.

NZ 100-1 (Williamson 17, Guptill 39)
Adil Rashid brings some spin into the attack. He played a starring role at Edgbaston with 4-55. But he is welcomed here with a shocking piece of fielding at deep square-leg from Alex Hales, who runs in to field and misses the ball, allowing it to trickle to the boundary to give Williamson four. The rest of the over is neat and tidy, with the Yorkshire bowler finding some turn.

The boundaries have dried up but England's attacking field has left gaps for New Zealand to find, which Guptill does with a push towards wide mid-on area that brings him two off Plunkett. The Kiwis can afford to be more reserved after their start, though. They have a superb platform.

NZ 89-1 (Guptill 35, Williamson 10)
Williamson moves into double figures with a back-foot punch through extra-cover for three. New Zealand remain positive, but not as aggressive as earlier when McCullum was at the crease. Jordan does well to concede just the one more run. The run-rate is now under seven. At one stage it was threatening nine.

"Morgan is still being quite aggressive with his field-setting here. It just shows that England still want to take wickets even though the restrictions are off."
NZ 85-1
We've got close catchers in on either side as Plunkett starts to Williamson. A single brings Guptill back and the field quickly retreats to a more defensive setting. The attacking to field to Williamson makes sense. After being a run machine not long ago, with seven half-centuries in nine innings, he hasn't reached 50 in his last nine. Still averages mid-40s, though. Six off the over.
NZ 79-1 (Williamson 3, Guptill 33)
Jordan got mauled by McCullum earlier but with the Kiwi skipper gone, the opening bowler returns. He is shown much more respect by Williamson, and rightly so as a wide down leg and a flick to mid-wicket for a single bring the only runs of the over.

Ben Wire: Hope Plunkett does well today because of the onomatopoeia in his name. It's almost a verb, too. McCullum just Plunked-it.
NZ 77-1 (Run-rate 7.70)
Guptill is a different animal to McCullum but he can be just as effective as an aggressor. He punches a drive off Plunkett to send the ball flying through extra cover for four. Lovely shot. He then hammers a drive through mid-on for another four. That is even lovelier.

NZ 67-1
There is much to admire about Steven Finn, but he does occasionally bowl a 'hit me' short ball. He gets away with one this over as Williamson doesn't quite connect on the pull. In the context of this start from New Zealand, five runs off your over is a rare achievement.
NZ 62-1 (Guptill 20, Williamson 0)
Plunkett's first over is as neat as his sculpted beard. He is bowling at a fair lick as well. One ball has fellow Yorkshire player Kane Williamson weaving out of the way.

"It's another situation where McCullum has faced 22 balls, where with a little bit more discipline he might have faced 44, and it would have been a different story."

"That's what McCullum does. He gets a game going, he doesn't stop, he always keeps coming."
WICKET
McCullum c Stokes b Plunkett 39 (NZ 61-1)
Eoin Morgan shuffles his pack, bringing on Liam Plunkett for Jordan and England are rewarded as McCullum looks to pull from short of a length and top-edges high for Ben Stokes to turn and catch at midwicket. It is a much-needed wicket for the home side to bring a threatening New Zealand innings to an end.

Duncan Wright: McCullum already ticking here. England will have to be slick in the field-have to gobble even half a chance.
James Tompkinson: Today will test this new England team in a different way - can they keep control of the game in the face of a batting onslaught?
NZ 60-0 (Run-rate 8.57)
Finn's radar goes slightly awry with a couple of wides - one way outside off, the other down leg. He then receives the McCullum treatment courtesy of a late cut through backward point for four. England need a re-think. They haven't bowled many deliveries at McCullum's stumps so far.
Quiz time
Now then, with Brendon McCullum hitting sixes for fun, it's time to see if you can score a maximum of your own. The good folks at CBBC Kickabout+ have come up with six teasing questions about England and New Zealand. Take it on right here.

"It's very tough bowling in the first powerplay against someone like McCullum. I'd advise the bowlers to try to get very close to McCullum. You don't want to give him any width and freedom to hit with the arms."

We Review Anything: McCullum batting like an elevated tailender again. He'll probably get 100 off 60, but it's grim to watch.
Sam Ager: McCullum got a hot date tonight?
NZ 50-0 (McCullum 33, Guptill 16)
Jordan is unlucky. He angles a short ball into McCullum, which he edges on to the side of his helmet and over Ben Stokes at second slip for four. McCullum has 33 from 18 balls. Ominous.
NZ 45-0
McCullum is on the charge. Jordan is the victim as the Kiwi skipper takes him for a four and then two sixes, the last of them a huge hit on the pull that comes right out of the middle of the bat and sends the ball bouncing off and over the stand. New balls please.

Alex Campbell: Three months ago England were humiliated in the World Cup by the likes of New Zealand. Three days ago England recorded their biggest ever win in ODI cricket against the Black Caps. Who knows what to expect next in this roller coaster ride of being an England fan.
Indeed, Alex. That Edgbaston display was something special. But what other sporting turnarounds is it comparable to or even bettered by? You can get in touch with us and offer your suggestions via Twitter (#bbccricket) or on text (81111).
NZ 29-0
Guptill gets in on the act with a drive off Finn through extra cover for four. It was said at the start that this is a superb pitch and we've seen nothing so far to dispute that. There is absolutely no room for error from the bowlers, as Guptill illustrates with a pull from a bouncer to send the ball over the rope at backward point. New Zealand going well.

"50 overs seems an enormous length of time. If you can get in, you can get an enormous amount of runs, especially on good pitches and fast outfields."
NZ 19-0 (Guptill 6, McCullum 12)
McCullum welcomes Jordan back by taking a step and half and swinging wildly as the ball flies past the bat. If he'd connected, Kennington station was in danger. He does connect with the penultimate ball, which he smashes low through cover for four.

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special
"I'm very interested to see how McCullum plays today. I think there's a chance he will continue with this high-risk approach. He will take a very overt style to trying to win the battle for length. I think he's a bit better than that: I'd like to see the same urgency but without indiscretion."
NZ 12-0
A Guptill prod into off to get him off the mark, gives us McCullum v Finn part three. The former signals his intent by clubbing one over mid-on that just holds up to bring the batsman two. He then aggressively whips another single down to wide fine leg. Finn drops a touch too short and wide with his final ball and Guptill hammers a cut through point for four. This pitch is simply too good for slight lapses like that.

"That just emphasises how fast McCullum's hands are. Whereas Guptill was just looking to play off the back foot and defend to Finn, McCullum was into that shot so quickly."
NZ 4-0 (Guptill 0, McCullum 4)
Get your eye in Brendon? Nah, I won't bother thanks. Jordan drops slightly short and the batsman is on it in a flash, pulling away to the wide mid-on boundary. Jordan responds well, though, with a couple that beat the Kiwi skipper for pace outside off stump.

"That was an excellent first over from Finn - right on target."
NZ 0-0
Good line and length. Good pace and bounce. Finn starts very well, keeping Guptill tied up at the striker's end for a maiden. He darts one past a flashing drive and then pins the batsman back in his crease a couple of times, with the ball bouncing just the stumps from the first and then smashing the econd painfully into Guptill's glove.

As is now standard, Jerusalem echoes around the Oval as the England players make their way out on to the pitch, followed soon after by Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum. The latter will be aiming to do much better than his first-over dismissal in the first match. Steven Finn has the ball in his hand, ready to continue his recent personal tussle with the Kiwi skipper...
Weather update

BBC Weather's Darren Bett: "It's humid out there, it's quite warm. It's 22 degrees at the moment but it could reach 25 or 26 degrees and once we get to that temperature we could get some home-grown showers. There is also a chance of some heavy thundery showers at around 15:00 BST - they might hit or they might miss."

"I think England needed some inspiration after what happened at the World Cup and I think that inspiration is there. I wouldn't change this squad at all - England need to back this crop of players and I think they will shine."
Excitement at the Oval
So often, before England ODI games, the over-riding emotions have been fear and trepidation but there is a sense of excitement around the Kia Oval ahead of this match. Edgbaston has lifted everyone: players, fans, even us journalists, and we're a right miserable bunch.

"It was an amazing game at Edgbaston. It is only one game and you can guarantee that New Zealand will come back hard. England have obviously changed their mindset but they've got to back it up today."

Alison Mitchell
BBC Test Match Special
"Expectations have been raised somewhat around this youthful England team with an attacking mindset. It has got a muggy feel out there so maybe the white ball might do a bit."
Just enjoy the ride
We have been here before. This very summer in fact, when England produced a scintillating Test display at Lord's to beat New Zealand, ushering hope and joy, only to lose the following match at Headingley to draw the two-game series.
So you might want to just check your optimism a tad and stir in a big spoonful of realism. England are trying to do something new, something alien to their recent one-day sensibility, something difficult, and against a side who have provided a template for the world, no less.
A plea: judge this England side not on what they achieve right now but on how they attempt to achieve it. If the methods are correct, consistent results will follow. They have a long journey ahead, so best just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Finn on a new England
England bowler Steven Finn, speaking on Sky Sports: "It is going to be a good battle throughout the series [between him and Brendon McCullum, who he dismissed in the first over at Edgbaston]. I knew it was a big wicket for us because of what he can do. We wanted to start this new era on a positive note and we did that."
"It was a fantastic feeling after the other night. We wanted to play with that freedom and to do that was a big milestone. To perform and deliver is a start but there is a lot of hard work needed for us to be consistent."
Prior on retirement
Former England wicket-keeper Matt Prior on Sky Sports: "I had planned to come back and play for Sussex early season and knock on the door for England but unfortunately that hasn't been the case and I've been forced to retire. I'm very proud of what I achieved but ultimately what the team achieved.
"I've been very impressed by Jos Buttler, particularly his keeping in the Test match at Lord's. The future is bright for him."
Post update
What we need is a montage
Three and a half months. That is how long it has been since England were beaten - nay, humiliated - by New Zealand in Wellington at the World Cup. Bowled out for a meagre 123 they were then taken to the cleaners by Brendon McCullum, whose 18-ball 50, en route to 77, helped guide his side home in 12.2 overs.
Since that body blow, England suffered another few punches to the gut, lay winded for a while before finally dusting themselves down, slowing rising to their feet and set about figuring out how to avoid receiving such a kicking again in the future (if it was a Rocky film they'd have been running down the beach with Apollo Creed).
The result was clear to see on Tuesday. And just as Rocky did to Clubber Lang in their re-match, they beat the hell out of the Kiwis.
Line-ups
England v New Zealand
England: Hales, Roy, Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Billings, Rashid, Jordan, Plunkett, Finn.
New Zealand: Guptill, McCullum, Williamson, Taylor, Elliott, Santner, Ronchi, McCullum, Southee, McClenaghan, Boult.
Team news
New Zealand make one change, with Tim Southee returning after being rested at Edgbaston. He takes Matt Henry's place.
Unsurprisingly, England are unchanged.
Captain's view
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I would have liked to have first dibs on this pitch. The boys are ecstatic. There is a real buzz around the camp. We need to drive things forward and not worry about results. I don't feel any extra pressure or expectation. We are in the process of changing the way we play."
Captain's view
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It is a good surface. It is a good chance to get some runs on the board. Last game we were out-played but credit to England for playing how they did. This is a chance for us to execute a game plan by getting some runs on the board."
Toss
New Zealand win the toss and will bat
Brendon McCullum calls heads. Heads it is. New Zealand will bat. No surprises there. It is a good track and McCullum may still be smarting from sticking England in at Edgbaston.
A brave, new world
Brave. At 0-1, 180-4 and 202-6, England could easily have abandoned the much-promised and newly-practised positivity they began with at Edgbaston and retreated back into their well-trodden shell. They didn't.
New. Players, attitude, belief and records; take your pick. Everything about England felt fresh and new on Tuesday, from the cap David Lloyd handed to Sam Billings to the uncharted territory into which they ventured in the final over of their innings.
World. Well, let's not get ahead of yourselves. Let's start with two wins on the bounce and maybe a series win and see how we go from there...
