The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have announced an unchanged playing 11 for the second and final Test match against New Zealand starting from Friday in Wellington. This also means that the likes of Dan Lawrence, Will Jacks, Matthew Potts and Olly Stone will once again be warming the bench. The England batting line-up performed impressively well in that pink-ball Test match against New Zealand with Harry Brook scoring twin fifties while Joe Root and Ben Duckett also scored half-centuries each. On the other hand, both James Anderson and Stuart Broad ended up taking as many as 12 wickets between them in the Test match alongside Ollie Robinson who picked up a total of 5 scalps.

However, left-arm spinner Jack Leach will have a much important role to play in this second Test match as compared to the day-night Test. England team management will also be backing opening batsman Zak Crawley to come up with a big knock since that century in Pakistan.
