England have opted to bat first after winning the toss for their lone Twenty20 match against New Zealand at Manchester.
The Eoin Morgan-led side have maintained the same squad that won the final ODI to seal the five-match series 3-2.
Meanwhile, New Zealand have made three changes by bringing in Colin Munro, Mitchell McClenaghan and Nathan McCullum in place of Grant Elliott, Ben Wheeler and Andrew Mathieson.
The playing XI for both teams are as follows:
England: Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (capt), Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Sam Billings, Adil Rashid, David Willey, Mark Wood, Steven Finn.
New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum (capt), Ross Taylor, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mitchell Santner, Nathan McCullum, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan, Matt Henry.
