Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett have been ruled out of the series with side and thigh injury respectively. Craig Overton had been drafted into the squad early on Saturday, while David Willey and Mark Wood are the other seam-bowling options in the squad. The batting order is likely to remain the same unless England decide to swap out Sam Billings for an additional bowling option.

With Corey Anderson having been ruled out of the series - and no decision taken on a replacement - New Zealand's options are a little restricted except for juggling their pace-bowling pack. Mitchell McClenaghan has gone at more than eight an over in the two matches and there may be a temptation to give a debut to fellow left-armer Ben Wheeler.

[Lord Snooty]

England all out for 302, which in the past would've been brilliant but not now. Especially when losing four overs by being bowled out in the 46th.

[Lord Snooty]

Hundred for Williamson and with only two wickets down, New Zealand are cruising.

[Lord Snooty]

Another cracking match but England have lost again.

England have the headline-grabbing option of selecting twins for the first time after Somerset fast bowler Jamie Overton was called-up to the squad to join his brother Craig. But both David Willey and Mark Wood impressed at the Ageas Bowl so England are likely to field an unchanged side with no further injury worries.

New Zealand are also likely to be unchanged with the only option to bring Nathan McCullum back into their XI as another slow option - but he conceded 152 runs at 9.50 an over in the opening two matches before being left out at the Ageas Bowl. He could replace Mitchell McClenaghan who has only been slightly less expensive.
