New Zealand dismissed England for 169 in a key Champions Trophy match in Cardiff on Sunday reduced by rain to 24 overs per side. Whichever team wins this Group A clash will qualify for the semi-finals, with defeat for England guaranteeing the hosts' exit from a tournament for the world's top eight one-day international sides. New Zealand would have had a smaller total to chase had not Nathan McCullum dropped Alastair Cook, who top-scored with 64, three times before clinging on to a chance off his own bowling to end the England captain's 47-ball innings.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum believes it's only a matter of time before Luke Ronchi "tears a team apart" with the bat after a run of low scores since making his Black Caps debut. Although born in New Zealand, Ronchi played international cricket for Australia, where he grew up, in four one-dayers and three Twenty20s from 2008 to 2009. However, he subsequently returned home and made his New Zealand debut in the first one-day international against England at Lord's last month.

Probable teams and officials for the first one-day international between England and New Zealand at Lord's on Friday (0945GMT start): England from: Alastair Cook (capt), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (wkt), Steven Finn, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Graeme Swann, James Tredwell, Jonathan Trott, Chris Woakes

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum looked forward to next month's Champions Trophy in the UK with confidence after a five-wicket win in the first one-day international against England at Lord's on Friday. The Black Caps were whitewashed 2-0 by England in the preceding Test series, suffering several batting collapses including a slump to 68 all out just a few weeks ago in a 170-run first Test defeat at Lord's.
