There were half-centuries galore in the first ODI for Phoenix iamily members.
Captain Jos Buttler (72), Ben Stokes (52) and Liam Livingstone (52) all passed 50 in England’s total of 291-6.
Yet, England will be disappointed to be on the wrong end of a 8-wicket defeat to New Zealand.
New Zealand lead the series 1-0 with two matches to play.
