England batsman Alex Hales has claimed that the current squad have won back the support of the fans with their performances in the one-day international series against New Zealand.

Despite trailing the Black Caps 2-1 heading into Wednesday's fourth ODI at Trent Bridge, England have scored 300 with the bat in three successive games for the first time, and Hales believes that the team are heading in the right direction following a disastrous World Cup campaign earlier this year.

"It has been really enjoyable," he told reporters. "It looks like we've won our fan-base back in one-day cricket.

"There are fresh faces and a lot of young talent. Guys are expressing and enjoying themselves in the field.

"We've pretty much matched the Kiwis so far and played some really good cricket, so in terms of how inexperienced we are and how raw we are, I think we've done pretty well."

England will be looking to level the series in Nottingham before the final match in Durham on Saturday.
