New Zealand vs Australia 2nd Test Day 1 Live Updates: Australia have confirmed they will take an unchanged playing eleven into the second and final Test against New Zealand that commences on Friday, while the Kiwis have revealed that uncapped pace bowler Ben Sears will make his Test debut. The reigning ICC World Test Championship winners Aussies have resisted the urge to change a winning formula and will use the same XI in Christchurch that clinched a commanding 172-run victory over New Zealand in the opening Test in Wellington. While hosts New Zealand did not divulge their final XI for the second Test, skipper Tim Southee did announce that right-arm quick Ben Sears will debut in place of injured pacer Will O’Rourke.
