MEN’S CRICKET: England start their three-match Test series against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch tomorrow evening.

The tourists arrive on the back of suffering a 2-1 series defeat to Pakistan back in October whereas the Kiwis sealed an historic 3-0 whitewash over India earlier this month.

That result looks even better after the Indians thrashed world number ones Australia by 295 runs in Perth on Monday.
