Morgan & Dernbach Concerns for England

England have fitness concerns over batsman Eoin Morgan and bowler Jade Dernbach, going into the second Twenty20 match with New Zealand in Hamilton on Tuesday....

Dernbach is expected to shake off an arm injury and play in the match, which England hope to build on their stunning performance in Auckland over the weekend.

Morgan, however will have a late fitness test on a back injury which forced him to miss the last practice session ahead of the match, which starts at 6am GMT.

England can win the series if they deliver the goods in Hamilton, with one game still left to be played. They recorded their highest T20 score in Auckland, posting 214-7, before restricting the home side to 174-9 from their 20 overs.

Joe Root will be on standby, should Morgan have to drop out ahead of the start.

England Twenty20 squad for New Zealand: Stuart Broad (captain), Jonny Bairstow, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Michael Lumb, Stuart Meaker, Eoin Morgan, Samit Patel, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes, Luke Wright.
