New Zealand bowl against England in Champions Trophy

Cardiff : New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to field against England in the Champions Trophy match at Cardiff on Tuesday.

England made one change from the side that beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in their Group A opener at the Oval last week, with leg-spinner Adil Rashid replacing Chris Woakes after the paceman suffered a tournament-ending side strain.

New Zealand were unchanged from the side that played in a frustrating no result washout against Australia in their first group match.

Victory for England on Tuesday would see them into the semi-finals of a 50-over tournament featuring the world's top eight one-day international teams.
