Shami back in for his fourthover. First ball, fuller, angling way into the leg side as Ronchi shimmies left and drives it down cover for a boundary. That is more of an aggressive batting. Fourth ball, length, swings it in, gets a bit of bounce as Ronchi makes room for a shot ramped over the cover region for a two. He loves the off side it seems. Seven off the over.  

---

Over 6 | Score 40/1 | Kane 8 (12) ; Ronchi 19 (17)

Change in attack now as Jasprit Bumrah paces in for his first over. Is in the best of his form, we all have seen that in IPL. But pitches in India and that in England are quite different and thses two warm-up matches will be a test for the youngster to settle in.

Second delivery, back of the length, angles in as Ronchi cuts it off his back-foot down point for a boundary. Great comeback by the bowler, just a single off the next four deliveries.  

---

Over 5 | Score 35/1 | Kane 8 (12) ; Ronchi 14 (11)

Shami in. His third over now. Just a single off the first three deliveries. Shami is going more for good length deliveries going into the wickets. Just a single off it. Really good over by the pacer. 

---

Over 4 | Score 34/1 | Kane 8 (7) ; Ronchi 13 (10)

Hardik into the attack for his second over. Second ball, length, swings in, skids off the open surface off the bat and seeps through between the slips and down to the boundary at third man.

---

Over 2 | Score 20/0 | Guptill 9 (5) ; Ronchi 11 (7)

Hardik Pandya shares the new ball for the second over. ICC Champions Trophy will be his first 50-over tournament and much of his action both with ball and bat will be at test today.

Fourth ball, length, swings in as Ronchi whips it over the midwicket region and off it goes to the boundary. Fifth ball, length again, as Ronchi lofts it past mid-off and the ball travels down to the boundary.  

---

Over 1 | Score 10/0 | Guptill 9 (5) ; Ronchi 1 (1)

And the first of the warm-up matches for the two nations – it is India vs New Zealand there at The Oval. Kiwi openers Martin Guptill and Luke Ronchi arr out on the pitch. Mohammed Shami warms up with the new ball. Two slips are in position.

Two quick twoss off the first two deliveries, both pushed down leg side. Its a quick outfield there at The Oval. Last delivery, outside off, length delivery as Guptill crunches it down cover for a boundary.

They call it Warm-up's, fans call it trailers. The pre-tournament fixture of the ICC Champions Trophy begins herewith for India, as they take on New Zealand in their first warm-up match at The Oval, London.

New Zealand will be heading into the game with much confidence drawn from the tri-series win over Bangladesh and Ireland. The side has marked the return of Adam Milne, Corey Anderson and Mitchell McClenaghan, and thus the Blackcaps will be looking forward to see how the trio works out before they head to the centre stage.

The defending champions, on the other hand, played their last ODI match back in January this year where they defeated England. Expectation lay heavily on Ravichandran Ashwin, who has made it to the squad despite being out of action for over two month, owing to injury. Even the skipper will be at test as to whether he can fit himself into the conditions of the English pitch, which once failed to befriend him back in 2014.

The two teams last faced in October 2016, where India edged past the Kiwis 3-2 in a 5-match ODI series.

Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni (wk), Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Dinesh Karthik, Jasprit Bumrah

New Zealand: Kane Williamson (captain), Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Luke Ronchi (wk), Neil Broom, Jimmy Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Corey Anderson, Mitchell Santner, Jeetan Patel, Adam Milne, Mitchell McClenaghan, Tim Southee, Trent Boult.
