Furthermore, the bowlers were nothing less than exceptional as they bowled New Zealand out for a paltry 147 to take England home and square the series 1-1. Heading into this game, England will be keen to see their top order fire, especially an underperforming Joe Root at three. 

All in all, Buttler and his men will look to continue the winning momentum and take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series with one game to go at Lord's.

On the other hand, New Zealand must be disappointed to fall short in the last game after a thumping victory in the first ODI in Cardiff. They now find themselves in a do or die situation to keep their chances alive to clinch the series.

Barring Daryl Mitchell, no one from the New Zealand's batting showed any fight with the bat. In bowling perspective, Trent Boult made a stellar comeback as the left arm pacer continued to shine with the new ball.

However, the kiwis failed to capitalize on the kind of start Boult gave early in the game as they let England comeback into the contest which went on to become the primary reason behind their loss.

Now, coming into this match, New Zealand will be keen to not repeat the same mistakes and comeback regain their winning form, taking one step further to clinch an ODI series in England after more than a decade.
