England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test Day 1 Live Cricket Score and Updates from Oval, London

15:43 IST:

England (Playing XI) – Ben Duckett, Emilio Gay, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root (C), Harry Brook, James Rew (WK) (DEBUT) (IN FOR JAMIE SMITH), Jordan Cox (DEBUT) (IN FOR BEN STOKES), Jofra Archer (IN FOR GUS ATKINSON), Matthew Fisher (IN FOR OLLIE ROBINSON), Josh Tongue and Sonny Baker (DEBUT) (IN FOR SHOAIB BASHIR). Gosh. As many as 5 changes. Bit surprising to see Bashir left out, especially with the temperatures predicted to be soaring over the next 5 days. Not only would he have allowed the fast bowlers to be fresh, but provided assitance if the surface started to slow down or break a bit due to the extreme heat. So it will be the four seamers plus the part-time spin options of Bethell and Root.
