🔴LIVE : ENG vs NZ 1ST TEST DAY 3 LIVE COMMENTARY | ENGLAND vs NEW ZEALAND 1ST TEST MATCH welcome to day number 2 of nz vs eng 1st test When: Wednesday June 2, 2021. 11:00am Local Time Where: Lord's, Marylebone What to expect: The weeks of wet, overcast weather that heralded the start of the English summer in bleak fashion have gone - for now - and the days leading up to the game have been sunny and warm. That may mean the pitch is better for batting than it otherwise might have been but as is generally the case at Lord's, there should be some assistance for the fast-bowlers. Team News England Without the all-round talents of Ben Stokes to balance their side, England are set to play just four frontline bowlers in this game with Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence and debutant James Bracey making up the middle order. Who two of those four bowlers will be is the question given that James Anderson and Stuart Broad are certain to take the new ball. It appears that either Ollie Robinson or Craig Overton will occupy the number eight spot while the other position is down to whether England want to play the spin of Jack Leach. If not, Mark Wood is a likely starter. Possible XI: Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Zak Crawley, Joe Root, Ollie Pope, Dan Lawrence, James Bracey, Craig Overton/Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood/Jack Leach, Stuart Broad, James Anderson New Zealand Kane Williamson confirmed a debut for Devon Conway but he will still be left with calls to make on the team combination: play four frontline fast-bowlers, as they have done in recent times, or pick three and Mitchell Santner's left-arm spin? If Santner does not play, Matt Henry is likely to deputise for Trent Boult who is spending some time at home with his family. The other decision for the tourists is whether Colin De Grandhomme or Daryl Mitchell occupy the all-rounder's spot at number seven. Possible XI: Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, BJ Watling, Colin De Grandhomme/Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner/Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner
