England openers Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan provide a promising start with 26 runs after five overs without losing a wicket.

And here we go folks, the 2023 World Cup is officially underway. The reload of the 2019 World Cup final is live. Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow to face Trent Boult. 

Would've bowled first as well. Looks a really good wicket. Preparation has been okay. Had a good series against NZ at home. Very proud of the achievement four years ago. Ben's going to miss this game. Has a niggle with his hip. Guys missing out are Atkinson, Topley, Willey and Stokes.

Going to have a bowl. Looks a reasonably good surface. Hopefully later on it gets better to bat. Preparation has been great. Guys came together from different parts of the world a week ago. Unfortunately Kane's not quite ready yet. Ferguson has got a bit of a niggle. Sodhi, Kane, Southee all miss out.

England Playing XI: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

New Zealand Playing XI: Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c & wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, James Neesham, Matt Henry, Trent Boult

New Zealand's stand-in captain Tom Latham calls it correctly and wins the toss. England are forced to bat first in the World Cup opener. 

There is no rain forecast today as the sun is blazing down at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. The pitch has a mixed soil surface so it will be a balanced one for both pacers and spinners. 

Kane Williamson will sit this one out as the Kiwi management is not ready to introduce their star player too early into the tournament. Reports also suggest that England are also looking not to rush the returning all-rounder Ben Stokes. But we have plenty of star players to entertain us in the opening game.

England Squad: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson, Reece Topley, David Willey

New Zealand Squad: Devon Conway, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Tom Latham (c & wj), Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner, James Neesham
