The Black Caps’ 3-0 sweep of India has revived their hopes of reaching the World Test Championship finalNew Zealand expect England to stick to their attacking brand of cricket when they face the Black Caps in the upcoming home Test series despite Ben Stokes's team crashing to defeat in Pakistan. New Zealand, rejuvenated after a 3-0 whitewash of India, face England in three tests starting on Nov 28 in Christchurch. England lost 2-1 in Pakistan, putting their aggressive Test batting approach, which has been dubbed 'Bazball', under the microscope. The Black Caps lie fourth in the race behind Australia, India and Sri Lanka. Latham said it was a "big carrot" for New Zealand to perform against England but they were not focusing on the future implications.
