Eng vs NZ live, England vs New Zealand live Champions Trophy


The Wanderers has offered plenty of help for the quicks so England will stick with four pacemen. One change of bowling personnel could be Ryan Sidebottom for Graham Onions if Andrew Strauss wants more control, while the health of Matt Prior will be monitored after he was taken ill on the eve of the South Africa game. Steven Davies, the Worcestershire wicketkeeper, is on standby but hasn't yet been named as an official replacement. Eoin Morgan did a solid job behind the stumps and could keep the gloves if the management are confident Prior will be fit for the semi-final.

New Zealand have suffered another injury blow; Daryl Tuffey broke a bone in the back of his hand while fielding and will return to New Zealand for surgery. Ian Butler, recovering from an intestinal infection but available for selection, is will take his place. With Ryder ruled out, New Zealand will need a new opener. Aaron Redmond has been called into the squad, but has been held up in Hong Kong and will only arrive on the morning of the game. When he came in during the World Twenty20 in England he had immediate success, but he was already in the country on that occasion. Other options are reserve keeper Gareth Hopkins or allrounder Brendon Diamanti to come into the middle order and Guptill to open the batting.

New Zealand: Brendon McCullum, Aaron Redmond, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Neil Broom, Daniel Vettori (capt), James Franklin, Kyle Mills, Shane Bond, Ian Butler.

England: Andrew Strauss (capt), Joe Denly, Owais Shah, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan (wk), Ravi Boapra Luke Wright, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Graham Onions.
