It’s the 2021 New Zealand tour of England and just 2 Tests are on the schedule. The series gives the visitors some vital practice ahead of the World Test Championship Final against India later this month. We have New Zealand who was well on course to win the 1st Test but with rain having its say, the game ended in a draw. Regardless in these seaming conditions, NZ is still favourites because of a better swing bowling attack.
They’re up against England who they haven’t lost to even once in the last 5 Tests between the two, and the visitors will want to keep this streak alive. Amidst all the controversy of the players and their racial tweets of may years ago, the England camp will definitely be a mess right now, and we expect a NZ victory. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the ENG vs NZ 2nd Test…

Stats that matter
- Last 5 games head to head, New Zealand leads 2-0.
- Zak Crawley scores in the last game – 2 and 2.
- Joe Root – 4 fifties in 5 Tests at this ground.
England
There are talks about James Anderson being rusty as he managed only 2 wickets in the last game but we’re rubbishing those talks as he’s better than ever, getting a 3-fer in the only innings he bowled in an FC game last month, so he makes our ENG vs NZ fantasy team today. With the bat, Rory Burns came out and scored a century in the 1st Test and he’s the only Englishman who seemed a bit comfortable at the wicket.
In the past, many have doubted Zak Crawley and his abilities in this format but we saw against India how he scored when least expected. Similarly, he won’t be a popular pick after getting a handful of runs in the 1st Test but he makes our ENG vs NZ Dream11 team for the 2nd Test. With Ollie Robinson suspended, we’re expecting Craig Overton to get a Test debut and this guy is a bowling machine who can score runs with the bat too.
New Zealand
Here, there’s captain Kane Williamson missing out because of a long standing elbow injury, which means Tom Latham will lead the side and he’s been one of their most consistent Test batters over the years, so there’s no reason no to pick him in your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) ENG vs NZ fantasy team. Mitchell Santner is also suffering a finger injury and will not be a part of the action in this game.

Having shown remarkable consistency and conversion rates in the ODIs and T20Is he’s played so far, Devon Conway continued the amazon show on Test debut as well with the most fine double century in his first appearance in this format. With the ball, Trent Boult is done with his quarantine and will make his way into the team but I’d like to see Kyle Jamieson do well, picking 3 wickets in the 1st innings last game.
