England vs New Zealand Live Score: To Ben or not to Ben
England vs New Zealand Live Score: Ben Stokes has been dealing with knee problems and while he came out of retirement and smashed a truly stunning 182 off 124 balls on September 13 at The Oval against New Zealand. He hasn't played since. Captain Jos Buttler's description of the all-rounder's problems puts a bit of a question mark over whether England would risk playing Stokes today. "He's got a slight sort of niggle in his hip, fingers crossed it will be good news for us. We'll make the right call. If he's not fit to play he's not fit to play and if he is we can make that decision," Buttler said as quoted by Sky Sports. "You don't want to take big risks on someone at the start of the tournament, nearer the end you may need to take more of a risk," he further added.

England vs New Zealand Live Score: IT'S THE WORLD CUP!
England vs New Zealand Live Score: Well, hello there. Frequency of ODI matches have gone down in recent years, what with the flashy T20 toy proving to be so enjoyable for everyone, and the few that have been played in recent years were all with this tournament serving as a context. Well, the context is the reality now. All that team building and hand wringing has led to teams presenting themselves the way they will over the course of the next few days. It all starts off with a match between England and New Zealand - two teams who played a fairly boring, run of the mill final that was decided by boundary count rule after the match and two Super Overs were tied. Something that happens everyday. Nothing unusual about it. All won by the "barest of margins", which is pretty standard in cricket. No? Good, so you know what kind of clash we could have today.
