NZ wins toss, bowls in 3rd ODI vs England
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl Saturday in the third one-day international against England at the Wellington Regional Stadium.
Captain Kane Williamson returned to the New Zealand lineup after missing the second match of the series with a hamstring strain. But veteran batsman Ross Taylor has been forced out, also with a leg injury, allowing Mark Chapman to remain in the lineup in his second ODI.
England made one change, naming fast bowler Mark Wood in place of David Willey.
The five-match series is level at 1-1 after New Zealand won the first match by three wickets and England won the second by six wickets.
