Day 2, Second Test, England v New Zealand

There was no Day 1. No, we didn't lose the test in a day!

 

Enforced changes have been made to the Black Caps lineup from the First Test, with Martin and Watling both bustified. In comes Guptil and he should shore up the batting a bit and Bracewell takes Martin's place. Dan the Man was flown out to take Martin's place but he looks like this now and was ruled out on the basis of generally being a hobo and possibly a terrrorist.

The boy wonder is going to bowl a ton of overs then and hold the batting together too. KW is the man for the task I'm sure but seems a shame to burden him so much.

With the first day rained out, our chances of drawing the series have been reduced. We just need a good showing from the boys then so that we can leave with our heads held high. Runs have got to be the order of the day. We must make some runs. Lots of them.

Come on Black Caps.
