Captain Ben Stokes returns to his hometown of Christchurch for the first Test against the Black Caps, while coach Brendon McCullum also returns home at the helm of England.

The tourists are under pressure to deliver positive results following several wobbles this year, including seven Test wins and seven Test defeats.

The team started the year brightly with a shock victory over India in the subcontinent, but lost their remaining four clashes.

England defeated Sri Lanka and West Indies in two series on home soil, before suffering a 2-1 defeat away in Pakistan.

Stokes will be determined for his squad, which includes debutant all-rounder Jacob Bethell, to dig deep following a busy schedule and aim to record a series victory away from home for the first time since a 3-0 whitewash in Pakistan almost two years ago.
