Bairstow and Jacks to open up for England…Tim Southee takes the first over for NZ.
England captain Moeen Ali: “It is a good wicket and hopefully we can get a big score. It is nice to lead England. It is a massive honour and I love it. Jos [Buttler] is just having a rest today.”
On Rehan Ahmed: “He has a really good attitude and it looks like he is improving all the time, even in practice. It is great that he’s getting an opportunity alongside [Adil] Rashid tonight, who he models himself on. It is nice to have five spinners today, it doesn’t mean you’re going to use them all but good to have those options.”
On the decision to omit Harry Brook from the 50-over squad: “Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I don’t think anyone doubts Harry’s ability and I’ve been impressed with his response. There’s a lot to play out and we always said the squad is a provisional when we selected it.”
