  2. We present a determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element | Vcb | from the decay BDν using a 365fb1 e+eϒ(4S)BB¯ data sample recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The semileptonic decay of one B meson is reconstructed in the modes B0D(K+ππ)+ν and B+D¯0(K+π)+ν , where denotes either an electron or a muon. Charge conjugation is implied. The second B meson in the ϒ(4S) event is not reconstructed explicitly. Using an inclusive reconstruction of the unobserved neutrino momentum, we determine the recoil variable w=vB·vD , where vB and vD are the four-velocities of the B and D mesons. We measure the total decay branching fractions to be B(B0D+ ν )=(2.06±0.05(stat)±0.10(sys))% and B(B+D¯0+ν)=(2.31±0.04(stat)±0.09(sys))% . We probe lepton flavor universality by measuring B(BDeνe)/B(BDμνμ)= 1.020±0.020(stat)±0.022(sys) . Fitting the partial decay branching fraction as a function of w and using the average of lattice QCD calculations of the BD form factor, we obtain | Vcb |=(39.2±0.4(stat)±0.6(sys)±0.5(th))×103
