England spinner Jack Leach was admitted in a private hospital after suffering from gastroenteritis. Leach was left out of the playing XI but began to feel unwell at the end of the first session of play on Saturday. England's medical staff decided to take Leach to hospital and it is expected that he will remain there overnight. "It's quite worrying news but we've got great medical staff to look after him," said England bowler Stuart Broad.

The spinner from Taunton who suffers from Crohn's disease, recorded figures of 2 -153 during England's defeat in the first Test in Mount Maunganui was replaced by Chris Woakes for the second test as the tourists opted for a five-man pace attack. The 28-year spinner so far has represented England in 10 Tests scalping 34 wickets with a highest score of 92 with the bat.
