In this article, we’ll only be recommending official sources for watching the New Zealand v England 2nd Test match. We don’t advise the use of unlicensed streams for a couple of reasons. First, they tend to offer poor image quality and are frequently interrupted by lag and buffering. Second, unauthorized streams can be taken offline for copyright infringement.

The New Zealand v England 2nd Test will only be shown on region-locked platforms. This means you’ll need a VPN to watch it abroad.

What should I know about the England cricket tour of New Zealand?

The England cricket team is touring New Zealand in October and December 2019. The action kicks off with two Test matches followed by five T20I matches. Games will be played at nine different venues with The Bay Oval hosting its first-ever Test match in November 2019.

Eoin Morgan is to captain England’s T20I team while Tim Southee was named New Zealand’s captain. It’s expected to be a close contest with England only slight favorites to win the T20 International Series.

What happened in New Zealand v England 1st Test?

New Zealand produced a fine performance to win the 1st Test match by innings and 65 runs at the Bay Oval. Notably, pace bowler Neil Wagner took an impressive 5-44 while Mitchell Santner took 3-53 to secure the Black Caps with a 1-0 series lead.

England were poor, displaying weak batting and ineffective bowling. Joe Root, England’s captain, has been on the receiving end of criticism from those who feel he isn’t a natural leader and shouldn’t have the England captaincy.
