Stokes is back in England's team after missing the Ashes through off-the-field circumstances
Ross Taylor has anchored the Black Caps to a nailbiting three-wicket win in the first one-day global against England at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
'There's been some good one-day cricket played by our group, but we do know we'll have to adapt to the opposition and the surfaces - which have been different throughout each venue.
During Taylor's innings, he went past the 7000-run mark in ODIs, becoming the third New Zealand batsman to do so after Stephen Fleming and Nathan Astle. Taylor went on to his 18th ODI century before being stumped off Adil Rashid.
Stokes finally made the breakthrough, having an increasingly tired-looking Latham caught at mid-on by Root with New Zealand still needing 80 to win and when Tom Curran had Henry Nicholls (0) caught in the next over, England were back in the game.
The New Zealand bowlers had worked hard to keep England under 300 runs on the slow Seddon Park pitch. England have not yet named the playing XI for the first ODI, but skipper Eoin Morgan has hinted that Stokes will be seen playing.
Morgan said that despite winning the 50-overs series in Australia, his side had struggled with the bat and would need to improve in New Zealand conditions. We made inroads at the start [with the ball] but they fought back really well. Mitchell Santner also provide a good supporting role. "Taking it towards the end we just didn't have enough in the tank".
New Zealand were in immediate trouble at the start of their run chase as they fell to three for 27 in the 10th over.
"It was a hell of a game", he said.

The rain will start around 6:00pm but the heavy rain and possible thunderstorms won't happen until later in the evening. It will be near enough to us through Monday , allowing for rain to continue through at least the morning hours.

Stokes' return does pose one awkward question, over who makes way.
Stokes has not played any competitive cricket since his arrest in the Bristol incident, apart from the domestic cricket for Canterbury in New Zealand in December. He was suspended until prosecutors decided whether he would be charged over the incident and allowed to return to the England team after the decision was made to charge him with affray.
'They are very aggressive with the bat, and their balance is one of their biggest strengths with the number of all-rounders.
A good night's kip would have surely followed his ton that pushed New Zealand to victory over England in their one-day series opener on Sunday.
Stokes has been absent from the worldwide arena since a late-night incident outside a Bristol nightclub during England's ODI series with West Indies last September.
His return to the batting crease Sunday lasted 27 minutes and 22 balls; he hit a single four before attempting a slog-sweep from the bowling of Santner that he top-edged to Taylor.
Stokes was upstaged by Jos Buttler who hit 79 from 65 balls before being run out in the last over, Joe Root who made 71 from 75 balls and Jason Roy who made 49 from 66 deliveries.
