"First, weatherwatch: yesterday it drizzled all day and while today has been dry (so far, there's a chance of rain later), it was outrageously windy as I did the rather dreary walk here from town.

Play in Auckland is set for the series decider with England unchanged and New Zealand making one change, replacing Kyle Jamieson with Zak Foulkes. Conditions have been drizzly and outrageously windy, with a chance of rain later. Phil Salt received a commemorative cap for his 50th T20 appearance, though the special caps appear identical to the standard ones. Luke Wood makes his 14th appearance and was congratulated in the pre-match huddle. The toss consideration is influenced by weather: when there is rain around, teams prefer to bat second. A New Zealand victory would level the series after the earlier washout.
