The second test begins at New Zealand’s premier oval, the Basin Reserve on February 24. A little bit has changed to this Black Caps side since their last home test against South Africa almost a year ago. They’ve gone almost a year without a win, their last victory coming in the first test against the Proteas last February. Since then they lost three tests to England and drew twice in Pakistan. Tim Southee is captain for his first official home series making the big calls in the field and when to declare. Trent Boult is no longer considered for test selection after not taking a centralised contract with New Zealand Cricket while Kyle Jamieson is also out for the series after suffering a stress fracture in his back, which derails his comeback from a back injury.

Matt Henry will miss the first test as he awaits the birth of his child. Black Caps and Tim Southee endure disrupted start to England seriesBut what they lack in bowlers they make up for in batsmen who seem to find test cricket way too easy. New Zealand still have a strong top six in the reliable as ever Kane Williamson (test average of 53. 83) newish duo of Devon Conway (54. 76) and Daryl Mitchell (58. 35) along with Tom Blundell (42. 61), Tom Latham (41. 91), Henry Nicholl (37. 94) that should be 300 runs on the board right there. Reliable duoEngland have a lot of fire and it stands with two old hands, right hands to be specific. Stuart Broad and James Anderson first played in the same test together 15 years ago against the Black Caps at the Basin Reserve, between them taking 10 wickets as England went on to win by 126 (one of Broad’s victims being one B B McCullum).
