Preamble\"JamesJames Wallace<\/p>\n

Winter is coming here.<\/p>\n

Hello and welcome to the start of England\u2019s epic winter of cricket. To start things off, a three match T20I series followed by three ODIs against New Zealand. Today\u2019s match will begin in about half an hour in Christchurch.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t call it an Ashes warm up game. No honestly. Don\u2019t mention the A word at all. Jacob Bethell gets a sparkling ton against the Black Caps today? Pay it never mind, there\u2019s a T20 World Cup on the horizon, all roads do not lead to Perth on the 21st November. Ahem.<\/p>\n

The coin will be tossed shortly but we already know the sides with both teams confirming their XI\u2019s in advance.<\/p>\n

New Zealand: 1 Tim Seifert (wk), 2 Rachin Ravindra, 3 Tim Robinson, 4 Mark Chapman, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Michael Bracewell, 7 James Neesham, 8 Mitchell Santner (c), 9 Kyle Jamieson, 10 Matt Henry, 11 Jacob Duffy.<\/p>\n

England: 1 Phil Salt, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Jacob Bethell, 4 Harry Brook (c), 5 Tom Banton, 6 Sam Curran, 7 Jordan Cox, 8 Brydon Carse, 9 Liam Dawson, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Luke Wood.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s early for a Saturday morning here in Blighty but if you are tuning in then give us a shout <\/a>in the usual way.<\/p>\n
