This is the first time New Zealand have lost three World Cup games in a row and they have plenty to sort out if they reach the semifinal. For now, their priority will be to hope Pakistan don't pull off a miracle against Bangladesh. England, on the other hand, are peaking at the right time and will be going into the semifinal as favorites again. That's all from here. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Ta ta!

England ending two long standing WC streaks today:

+ First time they reached semifinals since 1992

+ First time they beaten NZ since 1983

Jonny Bairstow is the Man of the Match for his 106. It was his third consecutive hundred against New Zealand but more importantly it was his second in a row in this World Cup.

Playing XIs:

New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham(w), Colin de Grandhomme, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Trent Boult

England: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

TOSS:England opt to bat. And they are playing the same team that beat India in the previous team. New Zealand have a couple of changes - Lockie Ferguson misses out due to a tight left hamstring. Tim Southee and Matt Henry come in, Ish Sodhi is also left out.

DYK: England have not beaten New Zealand since 1983. The two teams have met eight times in World Cups, New Zealand hold the edge with a 5-3 scoreline. All of England's three wins came before third edition. Here's the - head to head.

Favorites, not anymore, favorites - England's story so far in the tournament. They started with a bang, beating South Africa in the opener but lost three out of their next six games putting themselves in must-win situations. Then they went on to beat the other favorites India convincingly to bring the campaign back on track and it is a simple equation for them today - win and go through to the semifinals. New Zealand's journey has been similar, they were unbeaten in their first six games but have lost two on the bounce. A win or not a huge defeat will keep them in the hunt for the top four finish. We can expect a cracking contest with plenty at stake for both the sides.
