England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced an unchanged XI for the second and final Test against New Zealand, starting tomorrow at Wellington.
England won the first Test at Mount Maunganui by a resounding margin of 267 runs, their first-ever win in New Zealand since 2008.
Skipper Ben Stokes has confirmed that his side will look to whitewash the hosts by recording their eighth straight win in red-ball cricket.
The top order consists of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope, while the middle order is being marshalled by Joe Root, new sensation Harry Brook, and Stokes himself.
Ben Foakes will remain their designated wicketkeeper-batter. Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad, and James Anderson will spearhead the bowling department again. Jack Leack remains the lone spinner in the side.
Earlier, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead also confirmed one change in the Black Caps side: that pacer Matt Henry will replace Jacob Duffy in the Blackcaps squad. He missed the first Test after returning home for the birth of his first child.
