Against English batsmen who like to attack in the death overs, the contest will be quite intriguing.

Ben Stokes
English all-rounder Ben Stokes has been brilliant in all departments for his team in the World Cup.

He will have to be at top of his game once again in a must-win match against New Zealand.
Liam Plunkett
