Kane Williamson has retired from international cricket, and Henry Nicholls is set to return to the Black Caps.
What happened?
The Black Caps have recalled Henry Nicholls to bat at number three following Kane Williamson's retirement.
Kane Williamson departed as New Zealand's most prolific run-scorer at the age of 35, having accumulated more than 19,000 international runs.
Why it matters for Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson's retirement marks the end of an era for the Black Caps, with Nicholls facing the task of filling the slot at number three.
Captain Tom Latham said Nicholls' ability to adapt to situations will be key in the second test against England.
What comes next?
The second test against England is set to start on Wednesday, with Nicholls set to face a tough task against a strong English side.
England will field three debutants and make five changes for their second test, including wicketkeeper James Rew replacing Jamie Smith.
The Black Caps are likely to go into the test with a similar line-up, as long as pace bowler Matt Henry has fully recovered from the back spasms he suffered in the opening game.
Kane Williamson's retirement has left a void in the Black Caps' batting line-up, but Nicholls is ready to step up and fill the gap.
The 34-year-old has 58 caps with a batting average of 39 and 10 centuries, and will be looking to make a strong impression in the second test.
The Black Caps will be looking to bounce back from their 115-run defeat in the first test, and Nicholls' return will be a key factor in their chances of success.
