England will want New Zealand and India to keep on winning to make it a fight to finish third and fourth.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham: "We were a little bit either way. I guess batting first we've got a really good chance to put some runs on the board. Obviously playing here last game here helped, it looks a slightly better wicket.
"Gutted for Kane and the way things happened. Fingers crossed he'll be available later in the tournament.
"For us it's trying to focus as much as possible. Adapting to every ground and team as quickly as possible and obviously adapting to the surface. Trying to keep things simple, all those things contribute to a match, hopefully we can do that today."

Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi: "We want to bowl first. It might be the dew factor in the second innings, there might be spin in the first.
"We looked at the opposition's strengths and decided we have to bowl first and try to restrict them to a low score.
"We had a celebration for the night after England. Now it's gone, that confidence we can take forward, we will try our best."
