New Zealand win the toss and bowl
It worked pretty well on Saturday, so whoever won the toss was always going to bowl first.
Erm, about that Christchurch weather forecast
Turns out opinions vary, and we may be looking at another rain-ruined game. It’s the height of spring in New Zealand, what did you expect man!
Sam Curran’s intelligent unbeaten 49 was the main positive for England in the first game. “He’s going to be around for a while, I think,” said his captain Harry Brook after the game.
Preamble
Hello, hello and welcome to live, over-by-over coverage of the second T20 international between New Zealand and England in Christchurch. The first match on Saturday was abandoned because it’s the height of spring in New Zealand, what did you bloody expect man rain, but the forecast is better tonight and we should get a full game.
The match starts at 7.15pm local time, 7.15am BST, and we’ll have the toss and team news around half an hour before that. But first, coffee.
