Southee set to bolster ODI attack

Tim Southee trained fully today at The Oval after resting out the first ODI of the series against England.

Tim Southee steamed in off his full run at New Zealand training and looks set for a one-day international return in the second match of the series against England starting at midnight (New Zealand time).

He will likely replace Matt Henry or Mitchell McClenaghan who conceded 166 runs between them in the first match.

McClenaghan, with two for 93 from his 10 overs, suffered the least fortune between the pair. A Joe Root edge from McClenaghan's third ball rocketed between wicketkeeper and slip; another whistled through a vacant first slip.

New Zealand are expected to field their strongest bowling attack after conceding a record 408 for nine at Edgbaston. Trent Boult had a bat at practice but was rested with the ball after his recent test workload. He was the best of the New Zealand bowlers in the first ODI, taking four for 55.

Corey Anderson will miss the second match with his ongoing back complaint. More is expected to be known about his chances of playing in the series tomorrow. In the meantime, left-arm orthodox all-rounder Mitchell Santner is expected to earn his second cap.

Kane Williamson said they had discussed how they approach future extreme chases after the daunting haul set at Edgbaston.

"Not many teams achieve that [only South Africa in 2006 have successfully chased a 400-plus ODI total], but nowadays, with T20, you can break it down into your first 30 overs which can be less intense mentally. Then we know through T20 that chasing 200 has happened many times. Breaking it into small blocks is important."

Batting coach Craig McMillan took training in the absence of head coach Mike Hesson who stayed at the hotel with what was described as a migraine.

Meanwhile, England revelled in their aggressive ODI renaissance after making their highest total.

"The way we played at Edgbaston was the perfect performance," Root said. "Our challenge is to do that more consistently. We don't know what the surface is like, but we'll go out with a similar frame of mind."

The staggering all-round performance of Adil Rashid at Birmingham, with 69 from 50 balls and four wickets for 55, earned further attention after century-makers Root and Jos Buttler received the majority of post-match plaudits.

"He went through a period at Yorkshire where he was put under a lot of pressure and given a lot of responsibility for a young lad," Root said.

"He struggled to deal with it initially but over the last couple of years he's done that fantastically well. He's come to know his game better.

"It'll take a few more games to see where he's at, but he's a phenomenal talent."
