What is it?

A three-match T20I series between New Zealand and England.

When is it?

Wednesday, March 3: 1st T20I (Sky Stadium, Wellington, 2am GMT)

Friday, March 5: 2nd T20I (Sky Stadium, Wellington, 2am GMT)

Sunday, March 7: 3rd T20I (Sky Stadium, Wellington, 3am GMT)

Where is it?

The three matches will all take place at the Sky Stadium, Wellington, as a result of logistical complications.

Initially, the second and third games were due to be played at Eden Park and Bay Oval, but now all three will take place as the first part of double-headers, which also feature the men’s teams of New Zealand and Australia.

Who’s involved?

England’s squad is the same as the group that won the ODI series, with Sophia Dunkley, Georgia Elwiss and Mady Villiers the only players who didn’t feature in the 50-over leg of the tour.

For New Zealand, Brooke Halliday has been added to the squad after starring with consecutive half centuries in her first international series. She replaces Lea Tahuhu, who suffered a hamstring injury during the series opener. Gabby Sullivan has been included as cover for Hannah Rowe, who tweaked her quad in the White Ferns’ consolation victory in the third ODI.
