Trent Boult believes England will be able to cope with the distraction of their social media storm when they face New Zealand in the decisive second Test on Thursday. The controversy escalated on Monday when the England and Wales Cricket Board revealed it was investigating a second unidentified England player for posting "historic offensive material" on social media. While he would not criticise Robinson, Boult admitted cricketers must be careful what they say on social media with the eyes of the world on them at all times. "I can't speak for the other guys but social media can be a difficult world at the moment," Boult told reporters. That would be the ideal preparation ahead of their clash with India in the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton from 18 June.
