England take on hosts New Zealand aiming to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series of the Taini Jamison Trophy
Last time out a fresh-faced England side featuring four debutants held on for a dramatic 55-54 win in the opening game in Christchurch with Sasha Glasgow scoring 38 from 41 attempts.
The Vitality Roses secured their third successive win in New Zealand thanks to a brilliant second quarter before resisting some late pressure to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Now two of the top sides in the world will battle it out again on September 27, before the third Test on September 30, live on Sky Sports.
Named in honour of former Silver Fern Taini Jamison who was the first Maori coach of the national team and passed away earlier this year, the Vitality Roses’ will be aiming to secure a fourth successive win in New Zealand since their last series win in 2021.
