(Reuters) - Here is what you need to know about the second test between New Zealand and South Africa, which starts on Friday. New Zealand lead the two-test series 1-0.
New Zealand go into the second Test against South Africa on Friday on the cusp of clinching the series and reclaiming the mantle of number one in the world. A draw in Christchurch would give New Zealand a historic first series win against South Africa in 17 attempts, while victory would not only complete a 2-0 series sweep but it would see them dislodge Australia at the top of the world rankings.
Proteas middle-order batter and vice-skipper Temba Bavuma may have provided a smidgen of resistance in the embarrassment that was the first Test against New Zealand, but said what he does personally doesn't matter if the team isn't doing well.
New Zealand seamer Trent Boult will not feature when the Kiwis take on South Africa in the second of their two Tests later this week.
Boult missed the first Test of the two-match series due to his wife giving birth to their third child but has linked up with the squad ahead of the second game that starts at the Hagley Oval on Friday.
