New Zealand will host England in the second and penultimate Test, of the three-match series, on Friday (Dec 6). Conceding a 1-0 lead, Tom Latham-led hosts will be eager to make amends and stage a strong comeback. Meanwhile, Ben Stokes-led England will be beaming in confidence and like to take an unassailable lead with another win. Interestingly, both sides have named an unchanged XI for the crucial encounter in Wellington. The last time these two sides faced each other in a Test in Wellington, NZ won by a run.
