Spinners Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips took two wickets each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow gave England a brisk start but the Kiwi bowlers soon removed the openers to take control of play on a sunny afternoon in front of a smattering of fans inside the 132,000-capacity arena.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Malan fell caught behind off Henry and Bairstow&#39;s knock was cut short by Santner, who got the batsman out for 33 off his left-arm spin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harry Brook took on Rachin Ravindra in the left-arm spinner&#39;s first over to smash two fours and a six before the bowler had his revenge on the final delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brook, coming in the starting line-up for Stokes, attempted another big hit but got caught at deep mid-wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Root raised his 37th ODI half-century off 57 balls laced with two fours and one six off a reverse scoop shot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But he fell to Phillips&#39; off spin while attempting a reverse sweep and England slipped further before Adil Rashid and Mark Wood ensured the team played out their 50 overs<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Score<\/a><\/p><p>Brief scores: England 282-9 in 50 overs (J. Root 77, J. Buttler 43; M. Henry 3-48)<\/p>\r\n",
