New Zealand vs England 2nd Test Playing 11, live timing, and streaming

Both New Zealand and England have announced an unchanged playing 11 for the second Test hours ahead of the toss

The hosts, New Zealand, after losing the first Test of the ongoing three-match series against England at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, suffered a huge blow in their bid to qualify for their second World Test Championship (WTC) final. They will take the field once again against the visitors on Friday, December 6, at Basin Reserve in Wellington to get back to winning ways, boost their WTC final qualification chances with a win, and level the home series 1-1.

 

New Zealand came into the series high on confidence after their historic 3-0 win over India in the Down Under series to become strong contenders in the WTC 2023-25 final race. However, they were given a reality check by Ben Stokes-led England, who won the first Test with ease by 8 wickets. In addition, the Kiwis were also handed a three-point penalty by the ICC for a slow over-rate during the Christchurch Test, which further dimmed their qualification chances.

 

On the other hand, England, with little hope of qualifying for the WTC final, which is scheduled to take place in their backyard at Lord’s, have kept their hopes alive with another Bazball show during the first Test. They will hope to continue the same in the second Test. 

 

As far as team composition is concerned, England have already announced an unchanged side for the second Test, and so did the hosts New Zealand.
