Boyd Rankin is selected by England for the final two one-day internationals with New Zealand.

England have called up Warwickshire bowler Boyd Rankin for the final two one-day internationals against New Zealand.

Steven Finn and Stuart Broad have both been ruled out of the second match after missing the five-wicket loss to the tourists at Lord's on Friday.

Rankin, who played 37 times for Ireland in the same format before retiring earlier this year, will meet up with the squad ahead of Sunday's game at the AGEAS Bowl.

The 28-year-old will provide further cover for Tim Bresnan, whose wife is due to give birth in the coming days.

Rankin has previously been a member of the England Performance Programme.
