On length and on the off pole. Jonny Bairstow pushes it to mid on for a quick single.

What a ball! Adam Milne bowls this fuller and swings in on the pads. Jonny Bairstow has missed his shot and the ball strikes his pads. There is an appeal and it is turned down by the umpire. New Zealand has reviewed it and the big screen shows the ball moving away from leg stump. Jonny Bairstow survives.

JAFFA! Adam Milne bowls this short and swinging in above middle. Jonny Bairstow did not understand how to play it.

Starts off with an inswinger  on length from outside off. Jonny Bairstow blocks it watchfully.

We are all set for the game to begin as the umpires make their way out to the middle. The Kiwi players stride onto the ground and take their respective fielding positions. Jonny Bairstow and Will Jacks will open the inning for England and will want to get a good partnership going here. Adam Milne has the new ball in his hand and is ready to begin proceedings. Let's play...

New Zealand (Unchanged Playing XI) - Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (WK), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee (C), Lockie Ferguson.

England (Playing XI) - Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (C/WK), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson (on debut in place of Luke Wood).

TOSS - The captains are out in the middle. The coin is flipped into the air and lands in favour of England. They have elected to BAT first.

New Zealand on the other hand, has a lot to work on for this match. Their batting unit failed to put runs on the board in the last match and the bowlers just did not have much to defend. Glenn Phillips was the only positive for the last match as he scored the highest among the batters. Finn Allen and Devon Conway should give the team good strong starts. Their bowling unit will be led by their skipper, Tim Southee along with Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson supporting him in the pace department. Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi will take care of the spin department. New Zealand will hope to gain momentum by winning this match and leveling the series. Sit tight as live action will begin shortly. Toss and team news to follow.

England leads the series 1-0 after winning the last match comfortably with 7 wickets to spare. It was an all-round performance by the team and they dominated the entire match in all the departments. Their bowling department looks strong, especially with Luke Wood and Brydon Carse in form. The spinners, Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone also had a good last match. Sam Curran will try to be amongst the wickets in this match along with scoring some runs. In their batting department, Harry Brook and Dawid Malan scored most of the runs in their last outing while Jonny Bairstow was dismissed for a low score. They have their skipper, Jos Buttler down the order along with Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone to end the innings with some explosive batting. This looks like a very strong white ball team and they will hope to win this match and increase their lead.

Hello and a very warm welcome folks. We arrive at Old Trafford, Manchester for the 2nd T20I out of the four matches to be played between England and New Zealand. England is leading the series 1-0 and this match will be an important match for both the teams as one will try to extend their lead while the other will try to level the series. The weather looks perfect for an exciting day of cricket being played.
