Cricket: Eoin Morgan continued as England's emergency wicketkeeper in today's Champions Trophy contest against New Zealand with first-choice Matt Prior still suffering from a virus.

Although Prior remains sidelined, he is expected to be fit for the semi-final stage of the competition.

Morgan, a star of the tournament to date, kept in the 22-run win over South Africa on Sunday which sealed England’s last-four place.
