England vs New Zealand Prediction: Ben Stokes In Charge of England Side

After months of break, Test Cricket is back with action between the two top teams of the circuit, England, and New Zealand. The upcoming Test match will be played at the historic Lords cricket ground, which will offer much movement to fast bowlers upfront. However, as we will enter the 3rd and 4th day, we will see spinners finding their room and areas to land the ball. Brandon McCallum will be excited to take on the new role as England’s Head Coach.  

Ben Stokes and company will be desperately hunting for a win as they had a very dried season. With many players involved in the Vitality Blast, new faces are expected to warm the benches and be part of the main lineup. Going in the game, Ben Stokes will be taking minimum chances and is likely to play a full-fledge squad. With the likes of Anderson and Joe Root in the bowling and batting department, England will be feeling confident. 

• Joe Root
• Jonny Bairstow
• Ben Stokes
• Stuart Broad
• Jimmy Anderson

After missing out on the last home series against Bangladesh, Kane Williamson will be joining the team again. Going in the game, New Zealand has some great stability in their batting and bowling order. Moreover, their batsmen are among runs and have played in English conditions frequently. All eyes will be on Trent Boult, Neil Wagner, Kyle Jamieson, and Ajaz Patel if New Zealand bowls first.

• Kane Williamson
• Michael Bracewell
• Kyle Jamieson
• Trent Boult
• Daryl Mithcell

On paper, New Zealand seems stronger and more balanced in comparison to England. With many new faces in England’s lineup, we will consider New Zealand to win or at least draw the game. Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls will be the main elements in NZ’s batting line.

• Game to End as a Draw for 3.78
• Best Bowler On Team England - James Anderson for 2.875
• The Draw Back All 288 for 4
