England believe they have turned a psychological corner but that conviction faces the ultimate test in what shapes as a potentially defining day of World Cup action on Wednesday.
High stakes: England found their mojo against India but it all goes on the line in their clash with New Zealand.England are in fourth spot with 10 points, one behind India and the Black Caps, but only one ahead of fifth-placed Pakistan and three ahead of Bangladesh. The immediate focus for many here is England and whether they are still a serious challenger. Jason Roy's aggressive half-century against India and the manner in which his side passed 300 in Birmingham – admittedly on a flat pitch with the boundary so short on one side it prompted a complaint from Virat Kohli – has skipper Eoin Morgan confident of reaching the knock-out stages.
Jonny Bairstow rode his luck to a century and Liam Plunkett's ability to strike in the middle overs upon his return were also important. But that "A-game" will almost certainly be needed against the Black Caps, who were indifferent in their loss to Australia at Lord's and cannot again let their batting be characterised by 172 dot balls.
