England face Auckland for another 3 day game, this time a slightly stronger home side after the inclusion of John Wright and Danny Morrison and a couple of other players.
A flat pitch means a different England XI attack from the 1st game, with veteran Ian Botham hoping to prove his form and fitness ahead of what could be one of his last Test series.
A flat pitch and a slighty iffy weather forecast means another draw is likely here.

There is expected to be some turn in the pitch day 1 and by day 4 and 5 the pitch may begin to break up making batting even more difficult.

A pitch that will heavily favour the spinners means a result seems likely here.
The New Zealand Emerging Players seem to lack a class player or two and they may struggle in this game, particularly if they bat 2nd.
With selection for the 1st Test still undecided this is an important game for the England XI, with a number of fringe players hoping to impress.

New Zealand U-Bix XI v England XI - 3 day match - at McLean Park, Napier - 1991/2 - Match Preview

Pitch: 113 - The pitch is quite damp on top suggesting heavy watering overnight, the faster bowlers should get some help until it dries out completely.
Generally the wicket should play easily with just the possibility that any damage caused to the soft surface on Day 1 may begin to cause problems late in the match.

Weather: Day 1 - 2 - Hot and Sunny, Day 2 - 3 - Sunny, some cloud about, Day 3 - 2 - Hot and Sunny

A better pitch than the last game means we might struggle for a result here, with a Green pitch early in the game offering the bowlers some hope before it flattens out.
The U-Bix XI look a decent team, perhaps lacking a top class batsman or two, but should put up a decent fight.
With most of the England XI attack for this game struggling for wickets in their first 3 day game this is an important game for the visitors bowlers in particular.
