England will play the same style with the same team in the second test against New Zealand, skipper Ben Stokes confirmed on Thursday, while the hosts look set to bring Matt Henry into their bowling attack as they try to level up the series.
"It was just a case of seeing how the bowlers pulled up and they've all pulled up pretty well so, yeah, unchanged team," he told reporters. In keeping with the philosophy of"Bazball", however, Stokes said England would be focusing on playing entertaining cricket rather than the result. New Zealand skipper Tim Southee has made it clear his side will be glad to be back playing red ball cricket this week after being thoroughly out-strategised by England in the pink ball match at Bay Oval.
