Skipper Eoin Morgan warned his side's Champions Trophy rivals that England are not satisfied with simply reaching the semi-finals after sealing their place in the last four with victory over New Zealand at Cardiff.
Another victory in Tuesday's match, which starts at 10:30 BST, would put them into the Champions Trophy last four, after New Zealand's game with Australia on Friday was abandoned because of rain.
New Zealand, chasing 311 to win, were never in the hunt after captain Kane Williamson was caught behind for 87 off fast bowler Mark Wood.
But England were accomplished in the field and will return to Sofia Gardens in a weeks' time for a semi-final showdown after a second successive win ensured they will finish top of Group A.
In reply, New Zealand could only manage 223 all out in 44.3 overs.
Spinner Adil Rashid, who came into the side as Chris Woakes' replacement also came out with a good bowling performance and picked up two crucial wickets apart from drying the runs for the New Zealand batters.
After losing the toss and being put in to bat, England was all out in 49.3 overs in the Group A game after a disappointing final over, which saw only one run. I'm sure we'll look to come hard at their top order which has been playing very well.

Handel pushed back forcefully, pointing out that her sister was born without an esophagus - a pre-existing condition. Handel emphasized that pedigree often during her campaign and again during her victory speech.
Guptill said his role as an opener was to provide some stability and set up a platform to launch the New Zealand innings.
'England bowled very, very well, ' said Williamson, who was fined 40 per cent and his team 20 per cent of their match fees for a slow over rate in England's innings by the International Cricket Council. The ball was going out of the entire ground until it hit the camera gantry.
It's no surprise then that Morgan wants his team to be more clinical with the bat.
He said: "I certainly think [we have alighted on our best team]".
The victor will then hope England can do them a favour when they take on Australia in an Ashes series precursor at Edgbaston 24 hours later.
"We can't let that dictate the way we play - we still have to go out and do our thing, be aggressive and take it to the opposition", he said.
