England won the first Test in Christchurch by eight wickets, meaning that Tom Latham’s New Zealand team did not get off to a great start to their home series.
The only way for New Zealand to increase their points percentage from their current 47.92 percent to 55.36 percent is to win their next two games versus England. The second-place finishers are South Africa (59.26), Australia (57.26), and Sri Lanka (50).
With two victories over England and a number of other outcomes needed to advance to the Lord’s decider, the first World Test Championship winners will have a difficult time getting into next year’s one-off Test in June 2025.
At Wellington’s Basin Reserve, Ben Stokes and company will be aiming for a series victory for England.
