England are again set to be without three of their key players for the crunch triangular one-day series clash with New Zealand here tomorrow.
Defeat will almost certainly end England’s hopes of reaching the tri-series finals to cap a disastrous tour, and they look to be missing captain Michael Vaughan as well as opening bowlers James Anderson and Jon Lewis.
The three were also absent when the English slumped to a nine-wicket loss to Australia on Friday in Adelaide.
If the Kiwis beat England again on Tuesday, they will move five points ahead of England on the table.
