England will aim for the One Day Series win in New Zealand, when the final match of three is played out in Auckland, starting at 1am GMT on Saturday. It means another sleepless night for England Cricket Fans, but hopefully a worthwhile one.... 

It would be England's first one day international series win over New Zealand, since 1994.

The game is again being played at Eden Park, with it's famous short boundaries, so a run fest is expected, even without the big twenty20 hitters from last week.

That saying, both Eion Morgan and Jos Butler will be in the England side, and both contributed in England's record total in that Twenty20 game.

Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor both starred for the hosts last time out in Napier, but they failed to stop England leveling the series up at 1-1.

England also have in their ranks, Joe Root, who is begining to make the cricketing world stand up and take notice of his talent.

The young Yorkshire opener, batting at number four in this series, has made back to back half centuries and looked comfortable at this level.

Final one-day international
