    New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner: "It [the pitch] looks a little drier. If it is like that [difficult] again then ideal. If it is not then it will be a challenge.

    Rain got the better of things when New Zealand hosted England in the first T20 on Saturday. Sam Curran had to bail England's batters out in the play we did have.

    The second T20 is this morning at the same ground, the idyllic Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
