New Zealand vs England Highlights, 3rd ODI: New Zealand beat England by 2 wickets in a thriller

New Zealand vs England 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third one-day international against England today, looking to complete a 3-0 series sweep. Bowling first has worked well for the Black Caps, who have already secured the series with wins by four wickets and five wickets in the first two matches.

England’s top-order woes have continued throughout the series, with senior players Joe Root and Ben Duckett struggling for runs. The series offers one last opportunity for them to regain confidence before the Ashes Test series begins on November 21 in Perth. Captain Harry Brook urged his teammates to stay relaxed, saying, “We just have to play with freedom, play with a smile on our face and just try to have fun.”

While England went in with an unchanged lineup, New Zealand made one alteration — Devon Conway replaced Kane Williamson, who is nursing a slight groin injury. Santner said the drop-in pitch might be soft early on but should become favorable for batting later, setting up an intriguing contest.

New Zealand vs England 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bowl first in the third and final ODI against England on Saturday.

The hosts, already leading the three-match series 2-0, are aiming for a clean sweep after chasing successfully in both previous games.

England’s batting lineup has struggled, with top-order players Joe Root and Ben Duckett under pressure to find form ahead of the upcoming Ashes series in Australia starting November 21 in Perth.

England captain Harry Brook urged his team to “play with freedom” and enjoy the game.

Both teams made one change — New Zealand rested Kane Williamson due to a minor groin injury, bringing in Devon Conway, while England retained their previous XI.

Santner noted the drop-in pitch might start slightly soft but expected it to be good for batting as the match progressed.
