Chittagong, Mar 22:  Two teams packed with power-hitters, this game surely is going to be a cracking contest! Hello and a warm welcome to the second game of today's double-header here at Chittagong. It's the 2010 Champions England taking on a mighty New Zealand, who have been in fine form in the limited-overs format of late. The loss of Luke Wright due to injury is a big blow to England but they will be keen to put that behind and play their best game tonight to come up trumps.

The build-up to the World T20 championship has been quite patchy for England. They have lost 7 of their last 8 T20 Internationals. Could tonight turn out to be a fresh start for the Poms? To add to their woes, Luke Wright has been ruled out of the tourney with a side strain just hours before the start of this clash.

Broad: 'We have had some injury problems. But we have been training hard for the last 3 weeks so we are looking forward to it. We would have also bowled but in T20 cricket if you get a good score you can't say what happens. We can adapt by seeing how New Zealand go about on this wicket.'

McCullum: 'We have been preparing for this tournament for quite sometime. We will look to start off well. We will bowl first. It is because of the dew and the ball comes on better later on. Neesham, Hira, Boult and Devcich miss out.'

New Zealand have won the toss and have opted to field
