New Zealand batter Henry Nicholls has been declared himself fit to play in the Black Caps’ second test against England, getting through Thursday’s practice session without any problems. The England team leads the 3-Test series 1-0 after crushing the New Zealand team at Lord’s thanks to Joe Root’s 115*. Nicholls, 30, was forced to sit out the Lord’s Test, which England won by five wickets, because of a calf injury and then catching Covid-19. Kane Williamson is looking for improvements from the New Zealand test for the second test of the series. “I am ready to play and excited to be back in the team.
