Your complete guide on how to watch New Zealand v England as part of a big year of cricket, featuring TV schedule, times, radio details and more.
Ben Stokes will hope for a repeat performance from his England Test team against New Zealand, less than a year after his maiden voyage as permanent Test captain against the Black Caps.
England’s bold new era under Stokes began with a 3-0 whitewash of the reigning world Test champions in the UK, and he will be keen to see even more from his squad as Ashes excitement builds ahead of the summer.
The two-match series in New Zealand is under threat following Cyclone Gabrielle striking the nation this week. Thousands of homes in New Zealand have been left without power and many flights have been cancelled as a result of the storm.
The match will still go ahead with veteran duo Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson given the nod to bowl for England alongside Ollie Robinson and spinner Jack Leach.
H0t-shot Harry Brook will be determined to replicate his stunning form in New Zealand following a terrific maiden voyage overseas with the Test team in Pakistan. He racked up three centuries and an 87 spell during five innings abroad and will hope for more in the South Pacific.
Opener Ben Duckett will also attract plenty of attention this week. He recorded an average of 59.5 runs across his six innings in Pakistan to stake a claim for more regular call-ups to resolve England’s top order issues.
