Mike Hesson: Why the Blackcaps won't play a specialist spinner for second test - Sportstalk with D'Arcy Waldegrave

New Zealand and England have opted for the same XIs in the second cricket test starting tomorrow at Wellington's Basin Reserve.

The Black Caps have decided against including spinner Mitchell Santner.

Australian tweaker Nathan Lyon took 10 wickets in their win over New Zealand at the venue in March.

However, in Auckland's win over Wellington last month - the sole Plunket Shield match at the venue this season - only three of the 40 wickets came via turn.
