Ben Stokes on second Test and Potts’ progress
Follow live coverage of England vs New Zealand from Trent Bridge today.
England won the first Test of the three-match series with Joe Root’s unbeaten century on the fourth day proving invaluable as the hosts chased down 277 to win by five wickets. Captain Ben Stokes named an unchanged side for this second contest with spinner Jack Leach recovering from the concussion he suffered on the first morning to feature in Nottingham.
For the Blackcaps, Michael Bracewell comes in to replace skipper Kane Williamson, who tested positive for Covid on Thursday. Tom Latham assumed the captaincy for the visitors, whose two other changes saw Henry Nicholls come in for Colin de Grandhomme and Matt Henry replace Ajaz Patel.
