Ross Taylor and (44) and Daryl Mitchell (30) did try to take the hosts to a formidable total but were kept in check by the England bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chris Jordan was pick of the bowlers for Morgan as he gave away just 25 runs in his stipulated 4 overs and picked up crucial wickets of Colin Munro (21) and Tim Seifert (32). He was well supported by all the other four bowlers - Sam Curran (1\/33), Tom Curran (0\/25), Adil Rashid (1\/31) and Patrick Brown (1\/33).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Three Lions started their chase cautiously as David Malan (11) and Bairstow played the ball on its merits and didn&#39;t try to go from the word go. Vince, who came after Malan&#39;s dismissal in the sixth over, however, played some beautiful shots and kept scoring boundaries (7) and sixes (2).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, Morgan and Sam Bilings (14) shared an unbeaten 32-run stand and saw their team register a comfortable win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For New Zealand, left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner was the lone wicket-taker as he picked three wickets, giving away just 23 runs in his four overs. However, he didn&#39;t get enough support from his teammates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vince, in the end, was adjudged the Man of the Match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both the teams will now lock horns in the second match at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: England 154\/3 (James Vince 59, Eoin Morgan 34*; Mitchell Santner 3\/23) beat New Zealand 153\/5 (Ross Taylor 44, Daryl Mitchell 30; Chris Jordan 2\/25) by seven wickets.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
