England are favourites to win
After an exciting Test which lasted four days at Lord’s last week, England and New Zealand meet in the second of three Tests. England won the opening Test by 5 wickets to record their first victory in this format since beating India by an innings and 76 runs at the end of August last year. Read on as we preview the second Test of the series. This fixture begins at Trent Bridge, Nottingham at 11:00 local time.
England desperately needed to get a win at Lord’s and, thanks to the unbeaten century from former skipper Joe Root, they managed to get over the line. There will be plenty more belief in the team ahead of this Test.
In spite of falling to 45-7 after winning the toss and choosing to bat first at Lord’s, New Zealand fought back and were favourites for plenty of the Test. If they get runs from their top order then they will be hard to beat in Nottingham.

With cloudy conditions forecast for the first few hours of the Test, there will certainly be a temptation for both skippers to bowl first. However, we predict that the captains will elect to bat first if they win the toss.
There is always something in the wicket for seam and swing bowlers at Trent Bridge and we expect this game to be no different. Any score over 350 in the first innings will be above par.
The weather looks likely to be pleasant with a high of 22 degrees for the first four days. Currently, there is a slight chance of rain during the afternoon of day 5 according to the forecast.

Jack Leach had to pull out of the First Test after suffering concussion last week. According to protocol, as long as he has no symptoms, he is available for selection and should get the nod ahead of his replacement, Matt Parkinson. Matt Potts debuted at Lord’s and returned the third best match figures by an England bowler on debut this century.
England needed to end their winless run in Test cricket and managed to do so at Lord’s. However, there were plenty of moments when victory looked unlikely and they will need to improve to win at Trent Bridge.

As Kane Williamson isn't available for the 2nd Test, Tom Latham will lead the Kiwis into this Test match. All-rounder Colin de Grandhomme suffered a tear in his right heel during day three of the Lord’s Test and will take no further part in the series. 31 year-old, Michael Bracewell, who has played three ODIs, is expected to make his Test debut at Trent Bridge. We also expect Neil Wagner to come in for spinner Ajaz Patel.
New Zealand, the current holders of the World Test Championship, have lost successive Tests after losing by 198 runs to South Africa at the Hagley Oval.

The win at Lord’s was England’s first victory over New Zealand since May 2015. The hosts are now only one win away from bringing up their 50th Test success against the Kiwis.

The bookies are predicting another close game but are backing England to make it back to back victories.
Joe Root took the Player of the Match Award at Lord’s and hit the highest score of the game with his unbeaten fourth innings 115 not-out. Once again, he will be the key wicket in the Test.
Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes are our batting recommendations for England. Bairstow began the year with centuries against Australia and West Indies but needs another score as he is coming under pressure for his place from young Yorkshire batter Harry Brooks.
Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls and Tom Latham are our batting recommendations for New Zealand. Latham has scored over 250 on two occasions in Test cricket.
For England, James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Matt Potts are our bowling tips. Broad is bowling on his home ground where he took 8-15 in the first innings against Australia in 2015.
For New Zealand, Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee are our bowling tips. Boult was not expected to feature at Lord’s but impressed with 3-21 in England's first innings.
Colin de Grandhomme bowled Ben Stokes on day four but had overstepped and the England skipper was called back. This was the defining moment of the Lord’s Test and pundits believe New Zealand would have won had it not been a no-ball. We are predicting another very close game with England making it two wins from two.
