Ben Stokes is in a race against time to be fit for England after the veteran all-rounder suffered a hip problem. Harry Brook is likely to come into the playing eleven as his replacement. Joe Root and Dawid Malan are the players that can build the innings for England while the likes of Jos Butler, Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow will play the risk-laden attacking game. Reece Topley and Mark Wood with the new ball can cause problems for the Kiwis.
