Skipper Morgan hails outstanding bowling attack

Fast bowler Mark Wood took the key wicket of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (87) in the 31st over. Williamson’s exit sparked a collapse that saw New Zealand lose its last eight wickets for 65 runs on the way to a total of 223 all out. 

“Guys like him (Wood) are so valuable to the  team  — and you can’t leave any of our bowlers out,” Morgan insisted. “I thought they did an outstanding job. They were truly the highlight of the day. Our batting performance was probably par or below par — so pretty average.” 

Morgan promised no let-up as England seeks its first major 50-over title.
