England vs New Zealand live stream: how to watch day four of the 2nd Test at Edgbaston

England head coach Chris Silverwood has admitted his side were "not good enough" as they stumbled to 122 for 9 yesterday, giving them a lead of just 37 runs going into day four of the 2nd Test between England and New Zealand at Edgbaston today. The weather might be glorious, but a crushing defeat looms large for Joe Root's men. England have never lost to the Black Caps at Edgbaston – that could change today. The first ball is at 11am. Make sure you know how to watch an England vs New Zealand live stream from anywhere in the world.

England have recalled off-spinner Dom Bess for the 2nd Test squad against New Zealand but he's not part of the XI. The Somerset bowler, who has taken 36 wickets in 14 Tests, will cover Jack Leach. Ben Stokes isn't available and Ollie Robinson has been suspended for historical sexist and racist tweets.

Kane Williamson's New Zealand are in terrific form right now and Devon Conway looks to be in the mood to break another record. But England have been dominant at Edgbaston lately, losing just two of their last 15 games.

"We know the quality England have and they're a very difficult side to beat," said Williamson. "It's important we to get back to our plans, starting afresh at a new ground, and look to execute."

Plus, with 18,000 fans attending, England's supporters could provide a much-needed boost.

"We will be able to host around 18,000 spectators each day," tweeted Edgbaston on Wednesday. "Ticket holders will be contacted via email regarding the next steps." Tickets are on sale here.

England vs New Zealand live stream abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant England vs New Zealand cricket rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee.
