England returns to Test cricket action against New Zealand in Christchurch and will aim to cap off a turbulent 2024 with a series victory.
The return of Kane Williamson will boost the Black Caps but injury issues for Kyle Jamieson and Ben Sears will be a test.
England, under Ben Stokes, has bestowed maiden cap Jacob Bethell while handing the wicket-keeping gloves to Ollie Pope as he replaces the injured Jordan Cox and Jamie Smith.
The match also marks a sentimental homecoming for Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, both desperate to inspire a series win back in their native New Zealand.
