In this game or in India ?

For India who are the spinners we have is it just those two

India pitches are much quicker than they used to be as their pace bowlers are amongst the best in the world.

I was about to say Root is available as a spinner if needed in both his game and India but didn't expect him to bowl much and on he comes

Are they producing there pitches flat and bouncy for the World Cup? Or hard and dry that will take spin? Or maybe a bit of both?

I’ve not seen anything that is WC specific, but they probably can do both to a certain extent. Especially on wickets they are going to play on themselves.

These games will mean nothing really because the World Cup is in India on totally different wickets!

Spinners wise is it just Rashid and Livingstone the options?!

I think the current game shows England not to be in a great place. The batting was dull and uninspiring, a complete lack of the aggression cultivated by Morgan. On the same pitch NZ have made it look easy against our bowlers. Very poor

Surprising with Stokes back in the fold.

Seems we were at least 50+ runs short! Newzeland bowled better? Or we just not batting as well as we can?

I was watching the ODI with Eng vs NZ and are England playing the fools with the World Cup just around the corner,
Very poor all round by both batting and bowling and also team selection and it's just so boring and slow going

We are used to England OD side to be very settled this is not the case right now although we do have talent . I'm just hoping it's a little like City at the beginning of last season where pep was tinkering around especially at the back to find partnerships that work , and pray its resolved b4 the world cup
