England vs New Zealand 2nd test preview

Tomorrow is the start of the 2nd test between England vs New Zealand at Edgbaston and both teams are going to make a few changes as they continue to apply a rotation policy to keep players fit throughout the long cricket schedule that both teams have

England will bring in Jack Leach in place of Ollie Robinson who has been suspended after racist comments he made on social media a few years ago resurfaced during the 1st test. Mark Wood could be rested and Ollie Stone could be given a go in his place and Broad/Anderson could be rested as well. The batting order is expected to stay the same.

New Zealand will be without their captain Williamson who is nursing an elbow injury and also Santner who was struggling with a cut on his index finger during the 1st test. Tim Southee and Wagner could be rested ahead of the WTC final. The good news for the blackcaps is Trent Boult is available for this game. In the absence of Williamson New Zealand will be lead by Latham
