Styris helps Kiwis post a competitive 266

London: England captain Kevin Pietersen won the toss and elected to field against New Zealand in the fifth and final One-Day International at Lord's here on Saturday.

Pietersen was leading England for the first time as regular One-Day captain Paul Collingwood began a four-match ban following his side's slow over-rate during their defeat at The Oval on Wednesday.

England recalled opener Alastair Cook in place of all-rounder Collingwood with Luke Wright, normally a One-Day opener, now listed to come in at No 6. This

was 22-year-old Essex left-hander Cook's first appearance of the series.

The last of his previous 21 ODIs came during a 34-run defeat against New Zealand in Christchurch in February. New Zealand were unchanged from the team that won by one wicket off the last ball at The Oval.

All-rounder Grant Elliott was passed fit after sustaining a thigh injury during a collision with Ryan Sidebottom which led to his controversial run-out on Wednesday.
