'Tough day' says NZ's Henry after Root and Brook's 294-run stand for England

New Zealand head to Wellington hoping to square the series against an England side on a roll.

Since the installation of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum as captain and coach at the start of last summer, England have won ten of their eleven games, with an uber-positive approach continuing to pay considerable dividends.

A short tour concludes with the second Test, with New Zealand hoping to hit back after a disappointing showing in the series opener. A bold opening day declaration set up a comprehensive 267-run win for the tourists in Mount Maunganui.

Stokes’ side are likely to face a sterner test in Wellington, but England continue to ride a wave of positivity that has brought a run of ten wins in eleven Tests. The two sides will swap pink balls for red with the only threat to conventional scheduling across five days a slightly worrying weather forecast.
