The Hampshire batsman has been stunned at the dismal level of performance provided by England in the opening two games of the five-match series, particularly Tuesday's 10-wicket defeat in Hamilton.

"That's probably the worst I've known with the one-day side," admitted Pietersen. "It wasn't a special place to be in the dressing room the other night, but what's gone is gone. We have three games left and it's pretty simple - we have to win three games to win the series."

He added: "I think this team is good enough to do it and I can't put my finger on what's happened in the last week - I haven't got a clue.

"We all think we're good enough to beat New Zealand, we did last week twice in four days, so it's a case of going out and trying to turn this series around in 24 hours."
