Summary
Welcome to our live coverage of the second T20 international between New Zealand and England at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Monday (October 20, 2025). The three-match series is still at 0-0 after the first game was washed out at the same venue.
In the opener, England scored a 153-run total after the Black Caps won the toss and elected to field first. The Kiwi chase never materialized as rain put paid to the match. A little bit of rain is predicted today as well in the afternoon, but it might not be enough to force abandonment of the encounter.
