Weather: There could be some early rain on Saturday, per BBC Weather. However, it should clear in time for play to start on time. Conditions are expected to be cool and overcast for the match. England have the chance to win a series on home soil for the first time since 2012, per Howstat. However, no matter what the result in the fifth and final one-dayer, the series has already been a successful one for captain Eoin Morgan and his young side. There was much talk, particularly after a miserable Cricket World Cup earlier in the year, about England's 50-over team beginning a new era. Morgan himself spoke prior to the series about the need to be brave, per Stephen Brenkley of the Independent: "We want to be unclouded in the way that we play and put opposition sides under pressure as much as we can."

They have certainly put New Zealand under pressure in the last four matches. The batting unit has been the biggest plus—England have scored over 300 or more on each occasion, while Jason Roy (95.55) is the only member of their top seven who has a strike rate for the series under 100. They achieved the fourth highest chase in ODI history in the last match, astonishingly overhauling their opponents' total of 349 for seven with 36 balls to spare.New Zealand, though, have also had plenty of success with the bat. Ross Taylor hit back-to-back centuries in games two and three (both victories for the tourists), while Kane Williamson has made 346 runs in four innings. The bowlers on both sides have suffered, though the Black Caps are not helped by the absence of left-arm seamer Trent Boult due to a back injury.

Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett are both missing for England, who have called up Craig and Jamie Overton from Somerset to replace the sidelined duo, per ESPN Cricinfo. Whether either of the siblings are thrown in at the deep end remains to be seen, with the hosts having to decide whether they want to tinker with a successful XI. The Kiwis could opt to recall spinner Nathan McCullum, while seamer Andrew Mathieson has joined up with the squad. The 25-year-old had been playing club cricket in England, per George Dobell of ESPN Cricinfo. Key players England Captain Morgan has been electric with the bat. Promoted up to four in the order, the left-hander has scored 322 runs so far, including making 113 to lead his side to victory at Trent Bridge last time out.

It is a far cry from the batsman who looked so woefully out of form during the World Cup: Morgan made 90 runs in five innings. New Zealand While Morgan has been in inspired form, his opposite number has threatened without making a major impact. Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum has only lasted for only 66 deliveries in the series, though he has scored 95 runs during the limited time he has spent at the crease. The right-hander is due a big score, and there would be no better time to find form than in a deciding match. ODI Form (Most Recent Results First)
