Summary
  • ENG take on NZ in the 2nd Test starting on Wednesday at The Oval

  • The Kiwis lost the 1st Test by 115-runs at Lord's

  • Kane Williamson has retired from international cricket for NZ

England are all set to take on New Zealand in the 2nd Test at the Oval on Wednesday, June 17 with both teams making wholesale changes to their squad. England head into the 2nd Test with a 1-0 lead after winning the 1st Test by 115-runs in the series opener at Lord's.

England will be led by Joe Root after regular captain Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been made 'unavailable' following their nightclub incident that followed the 1st Test. Ollie Robinson is out with an injury means the hosts have included Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker their Test debut.

For New Zealand Kane Williamson's international retirement means they have recalled Henry Nicholls for the 2nd Test at the Oval. Nicholls has played only two Tests in two and a half years, both in Zimbabwe last year, when he scored 150 not out in the second match. He has 10 centuries in 58 Tests.

Williamson, New Zealand’s all-time highest run-scorer, abruptly retired from all international cricket last Friday and was replaced by Will Young, who arrived on Sunday. But Young didn’t fare as well as Nicholls at home or in the Bangladesh ODIs.
