England insisted it was not serious, but Buttler was given permission by the New Zealanders to take the gloves as a substitute. So much for a night off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/20\/75091613-0-image-a-33_1693943750749.jpg\" height=\"387\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jonny\u00a0Bairstow thrashed 73 off 41 balls to give England a red-hot start at Trent Bridge<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/21\/75091993-12484163-image-m-42_1693944189850.jpg\" height=\"464\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England posted 175-8 having slipped from 105-1 in the 12th over on Tuesday night\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brook himself made just four off eight balls before top-edging leg-spinner Ish Sodhi to deep square leg \u2013 one of six England wickets to fall to New Zealand\u2019s slow bowlers. Between them, Sodhi, Santner and left-armer Rachin Ravindra took six for 68 from 10 overs, while the tourists\u2019 three seamers managed one for 105.<\/p>\n<p>With England\u2019s team including as many as five spin options, it was clear where the chase would be won or lost, but by the time Moeen introduced a slow bowler \u2013 Adil Rashid \u2013 into the attack for the fifth over, New Zealand already had 50 on the board.<\/p>\n<p>A brilliant piece of fielding on the deep cover boundary by Luke Wood ran out Daryl Mitchell with the total on 74, but first Tim Seifert, then Glenn Phillips, kept the tourists well ahead of the rate. Between them, they pummelled 90 runs from 57 balls and hit five sixes over Trent bridge\u2019s short boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Both men fell during a mature spell of leg-spin from Rehan Ahmed, playing only his third T20 international, but a flurry of strokes from Mark Chapman meant victory came with six wickets and 16 balls to spare \u2013 the fourth one-sided encounter in a series which has ended 2\u20132.<\/p>\n<p>But England\u2019s senior spinners couldn\u2019t support their younger team-mate \u2013 or match the success of their New Zealand counterparts. Rashid\u2019s four overs cost 41, and Moeen went for 23 from 2.2. Livingstone\u2019s allsorts weren\u2019t used at all.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ahead of Friday\u2019s first ODI between these sides in Caridff, white-ball coach Matthew Mott has insisted Brook can still be drafted into England\u2019s 15-man World Cup squad, and said \u2018loyalty\u2019 to familiar faces was one of the reasons behind Brook\u2019s original omission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/21\/75092037-12484163-image-a-43_1693944270547.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Tim Seifert provided a quick start with 48 from 32 balls as New Zealand cruised to victory<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/21\/75092057-12484163-image-a-44_1693944349160.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The tourists were always ahead of the rate and completed the chase with 16 balls to spare<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Harry has not played a lot of one-day cricket,\u2019 Mott told Sky Sports. \u2018He\u2019s done exceptionally well at Test and T20 cricket and in leagues around the world, but the guys we did pick have done a great job for England over the last couple of years. It\u2019s always harder to get into sides than it is to get out of it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You can be too loyal, of course you can. But I find it hard when you look at that 15 to think anyone doesn\u2019t deserve that spot. When you\u2019re picking teams that are that strong, there\u2019s always going to be a story.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But Mott repeatedly stressed that England\u2019s squad could still change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What I\u2019ve been most impressed with is Harry\u2019s response since missing out,\u2019 he said. \u2018That\u2019s what great players do. There\u2019s a lot to play out before we pick that first squad against New Zealand in India.
