England vs New Zealand cricket 2021: TV channel and stream of 2nd Test at Edgbaston and Dan Lawrence highlights

Dan Lawrence will start the second day of the second Test unbeaten on 67 as England look to build a competitive total for New Zealand to chase.

Lawrence’s innings and 81 from Rory Burns helped England to 258-7 at the close of play on day one at Edgbaston, in front of 18,000 spectators.

The series will see an England side, led by captain Joe Root, go up against the second best ranked team in the world in two five day Test matches.

England will be without some of their star performers who had already committed to play in the disrupted IPL 2021 when the series was announced in January.

Yet it has opened the door to would-be fringe players in the England camp hoping to make an impression for an already action-packed summer of international cricket.

There will be household names, too, with James Anderson making a 162nd appearance to surpass Sir Alastair Cook’s record for most caps achieved by an English Test cricketer.

Kane Williamson will skipper the Black Caps who will use the mini series as preparation for the inaugural World Test Championship final against India in Southampton on 18-22 June.
