England Twenty20 international debutant Brydon Carse took three wickets to set up a seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the series opener at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday. SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The 28-year-old South Africa-born paceman, in for the injured John Turner, returned fine figures of 3-23 from his maximum four overs as New Zealand were held to a modest 139-9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Left-arm quick Luke Wood also took three wickets, following an expensive first over of the match that saw him hit for three sixes, on his way to 3-37.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Carse, playing at his home Durham ground, told Sky Sports: "It was obviously a great start to my T20 career. It was awesome to play in front of a home crowd at Durham and put in a good performance for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I tried to stick to my strengths, hitting the top of the stumps."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Twenty20 world champions England made light of the chase, finishing on 143-3 with six overs to spare, as they went 1-0 up in a four-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

They lost dangerman Jonny Bairstow to just the second ball of their innings, when he edged New Zealand captain Tim Southee to slip, but otherwise England had few alarms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Dawid Malan made 54 off 42 balls and Harry Brook an unbeaten 43 before Liam Livingstone ended the match in style by hooking Adam Milne high over deep square-leg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brook, a controversial omission from England's squad for the upcoming defence of their 50-over World Cup title in India, struck three sixes in his 27-ball stay, including a soaring pull off Southee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England captain Jos Buttler was delighted by his team's all-round performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- 'Skill and pace' -<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"To take the wickets we did after (Finn) Allen hit those three sixes in the first over was brilliant," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Carse bowled with great skill and good pace. He stood up and took his opportunity. Wood, as well, after that first over, did brilliantly."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Turning to the batting, he added: "Malan is a class player, he has been for a long time. He has been very consistent at No 3 in the T20s and done well in the ODI format. We know what a top player he is."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England won the match in the field, with Glenn Phillips (41) and hard-hitting opener Allen (21) the only New Zealand batsmen to pass 20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After New Zealand lost the toss, Allen launched the innings with three sixes in the opening over from Wood -- a straight drive followed by two shots high over the legside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Wood, briefly removed from the attack by Buttler, returned to have Devon Conway (3) caught behind on the drive by the wicketkeeper to leave New Zealand 25-1 in the fourth over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Carse then bowled the dangerous Allen (21) with a nip-backer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New Zealand slumped to 49-4 before Phillips revived the innings only to be well caught in the deep by Sam Curran off Wood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
