Preview:
New Zealand will be face England in the 2nd Test of the three-match series at the Trent Bridge , Nottingham.
England won the first test match by 5 Wickets.
Joe Root was the Player of the Match in the first Test as he scored a century in the second innings and remained not-out.
Bowlers from both sides did very well in the match and they would be expected to deliver a similar performance.
New Zealand last played a Test match at this venue back in June 2008 and have not won a game since 1986. England last won a Test match at Trent Bridge in 2015 against Australia.
After a ton by the stand-in Daryl Mitchell, if Henry Nicholls is fit then he could replace the injured Colin de Grandhomme. There could be a toss-up between going with one spinner or an all-pace attack, which could see the inclusion of Neil Wagner.
