LIVE: Third England v NZ ODI

England pacemen Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett have been ruled out of the remainder of the one-day series against New Zealand, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Saturday.

Sussex all-rounder Jordan has a side strain while Yorkshire fast bowler Plunkett has a thigh strain and both will miss the final three games of a five-match series with the Blackcaps.

"Both players will now undergo a rehabilitation program and their response to treatment over the coming days will determine the timescale for a return to competitive cricket," an ECB statement said.

Jordan's figures of one for 97 against New Zealand at The Oval on Friday were the second worst by an England player in all one-day internationals.

Somerset all-rounder Craig Overton was added to England's squad as injury cover for Jordan.

The 21-year-old Overton has played just 15 senior one-day matches for Somerset and while his figures may not be that impressive - he averages just 10.54 with the bat and 54.20 with the ball - he is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in the English game.

A decision on who will replace Plunkett is "expected to be made in the next 24 hours", the ECB said.

England and World Cup finalists New Zealand are currently all square at 1-1 in a five-match series after the tourists won by 13 runs under the Duckworth/Lewis method at The Oval.

The series continues at Southampton tonight from 7.30pm AEST. Follow live coverage here!
