England can seal a place in the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 with a win, and that should be motivation enough to top New Zealand in this Group A game in Cardiff on Tuesday.
After New Zealand saw their chance of getting two points by rain, before Australia also suffered the same outcome, this group has fallen into the hands of England.
All they need to do now is put on another of their solid one-day performances and they will be the first team to make it into the final four.
Here is a look at how this ICC Champions Trophy 2017 match might transpire.
If England bat first:
Jason Roy decides to go all out from ball one, not worried about his lack of form, and that seems to work for the England opener, with the right-hander the dominant partner in an alliance of 68 with Alex Hales.
Hales is the first wicket to fall, with Mitchell Santner breaking the opening partnership, and while Roy follows suit a couple of overs later, England ensure that strong start isn't wasted.
Joe Root and Eoin Morgan put on a really nice partnership, before the captain is dismissed in the 30th over.
That brings Ben Stokes to the crease, and it is Stokes time all the way to the end of the innings. Jos Buttler also comes in and shows his prowess with the bat, but it is Stokes who impresses most, with the all-rounder scoring a quite wonderful unbeaten half-century.
With 332 to chase, New Zealand begin well through Luke Ronchi, who goes on the attack from ball one again, and Martin Guptill, before rain interrupts play. That interruption disrupts New Zealand's rhythm, and puts England right on top.
There is one more delay in between, but as the required run rate keeps increasing, and even though the target has been reduced by the Duckworth-Lewis method, New Zealand are unable to get to the score they need to pick up a win.
If New Zealand bat first:
Guptill and Ronchi tear through the England new ball bowlers, reaching 79 after Powerplay 1. The momentum doesn't stop even after Ronchi gets out, with Guptill and Kane Williamson putting on a century partnership.
This time, New Zealand do not waste that platform, and courtesy some big sixes from Corey Anderson and James Neesham, the Kiwis are able to get to 325.
Rain delays the start of the England innings, and even when Roy and Hales walk out, it is a bit gloomy. The ball threatens to swing in the first couple of overs, but after that, there is hardly any movement and Roy and Hales take advantage.
The two batsmen put on 82 runs for the first wicket, with Root walking in with the chase under control. That control factor only increases as Hales and Root ally for another substantial partnership, and while rain threatens to ruin the game again, England stay on top by ensuring they are ahead of the par score in the Duckworth-Lewis method.
The rain does eventually come down, and when the match is abandoned, England get the two points, due to the fact that they are ahead of the par score and the minimum 20 overs in the second innings has been completed.
