(Reuters) - England head to New Zealand for the second time under locally-born captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum looking to revive the momentum of Bazball against a Blacks Caps side still revelling in a remarkable series triumph in India.
The rapid early progress England enjoyed playing McCullum's ultra-aggressive style has stalled somewhat with seven test wins and seven losses this year and they are already out of the running for next year's World Test Championship (WTC) final.
