NZ vs ENG Key Players

Tom Blundell

Tom Blundell down the order has been providing some gems for New Zealand in the last year. Along with Daryl Mitchell he has helped provide some crucial knocks which often turn out to be the difference between a decent score and a really good one, with his ability to mentally tire out bowling attacks.

Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad is back after missing out on the Pakistan tour. His bowling has been under some scrutiny despite his comeback, and with swinging conditions on offer Broad will want to prove that he still has a lot to offer in this English unit.

NZ vs ENG Match Tips

New Zealand are a side that are nearly unbeatable at home. However, with the way Bazball has been proving sides wrong, there could be a case for England here. They were successful in Pakistan too and with the way they are playing they could spring some surprises here too.
