NOTTINGHAM, England :England grabbed back-to-back wickets just before lunch to rein in a changed New Zealand's strong start to what could be a decisive second test at Trent Bridge on Friday.
ENG vs NZ, 2nd Test, Day 1 Live Updates: Tom Latham and Will Young have provided a cautious start to New Zealand after the visitors were asked to bat first by England in the ongoing second Test at Trent Bridge. Earlier, England won the toss and elected to bowl against New Zealand in the second Test at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. England took a 1-0 lead in the series, courtesy of Joe Root's ton in the second innings, and some fine bowling performance from debutant Matthew Potts. The Durham pacer took seven wickets in the match, while veteran pacer James Anderson and Stuart Broad also enjoyed their time in the middle after being recalled to the side. New Zealand, on the other hand, had made a strong comeback in the second innings, after being bowled out for a paltry total of 131. Kiwis, however, will miss skipper Kane Williamson, who tested positive for Covid on the eve of the second Test. Tom Latham will lead the team in his absence. Meanwhile, Colin de Grandhomme will also miss the game due to an injury. (LIVE SCORECARD)
NOTTINGHAM, England : England won the toss and elected to bowl against a changed New Zealand side rocked by the absence of captain Kane Williamson for what could be a decisive second test at Trent Bridge on Friday.
LIVE – Updated at 10:51
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is out of the second Test against England at Trent Bridge after testing positive for Covid-19 the night before the match.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson will miss the second test against England starting on Friday at Trent Bridge after testing positive for COVID-19 on the eve of the match.
England will aim to carry on from where they left off under their new leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper, when they face the Black Caps in the second Test in Nottingham starting Friday. They are 1-0 up in this three-match series after a five-wicket victory over New Zealand at Lord's last week gave England just their second win in 18 matches at this level. Now Stuart Broad wants to gee up the crowd at Trent Bridge, his home ground, just as he did in changing the momentum at Lord's, when New Zealand lost three wickets in three balls to spark a collapse of six for 34 on the third day.

Now Stuart Broad wants to gee up the crowd at Trent Bridge, his home ground, just as he did in changing the momentum at Lord's, when New Zealand lost three wickets in three balls to spark a collapse of six for 34 on the third day. Daryl Mitchell (108) and Tom Blundell (96) had shared a partnership of 195 to leave New Zealand, the World Test champions, well-placed. But Broad, returning alongside James Anderson after England's all-time leading Test wicket-takers were controversially left out of a series loss in the Caribbean, got his team back into the game as he waved his arms at spectators.
