Can the Black Caps topple the world champions? This guide explains how you can watch England v New Zealand live streams... wherever you are
After a closely-contested T20I series, England and New Zealand do battle in four one-day internationals as their World Cup preparations begin in earnest.
The series sees the return of Ben Stokes, who has come out of ODI retirement in time for the World Cup. New Zealand are without captain Kane Williamson, but will have him available for the tournament in India which begins against England on October 5.
Wherever you happen to be in the world over the coming days, we'll explain your England v New Zealand live stream options, with TV channel information in different cricket-loving countries around the world. And even how to watch using a VPN if you're trying to stream your own country's coverage while abroad.
The start time for the first, third and fourth ODIs, which are day-night matches, is 12.30pm BST with daily coverage starting each day on Sky Sports at midday. The second match begins at 11am, with coverage beginning at 10.30am.
New Zealand fans must be in place from 12.30am (or 11pm for the second ODI) to ensure they catch all of the action.
For cricket fans in the US, play commences at 7.30am ET / 4.30am PT each day (6am ET / 3am PT for the second ODI) streamed as cheaply as $7 thanks to a special offer from Sling TV.
