The pitch at the Headingley, Leeds will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. It will not allow a lot of assistance to the bowlers and wicket taking is going to be difficult. The average 1st innings score at this venue in the last 5 matches is 267 runs.

ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
Joe Root
Joe Root is in sublime form as he has scored a century in each of the 4 out his last 5 Tests (total 594 runs in these) and this makes him a must have. Talking about his recent record at this venue, he has scored 121, 77, 45 & 131 runs respectively in his last 4 matches.
Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson might have struggled in the 1st match as he scored only 17 runs, but he is a far more better player than that. Since the start of 2020, Williamson has scored a total of 910 runs in 9 Tests, which is an average of more than 100 runs per Test; such is his class and we can expect him to bounce back in this fixture.
Tom Blundell
Tom Blundell has scored 130, 110, 55, 53, 0, 50 and 96 in his last 7 First Class matches. These scores might seem less but given that he is a wicketkeeper, there is always a scope for scoring extra fantasy points as in most of these mentioned matches, he has taken at least 4 catches.
ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Trent Boult
Trent Boult has taken at least 4 wickets in each of his last 8 Tests (total 41 wkts in these) and such has been his consistency. Talking about his bowling record in England, he has taken 44 wickets in his 8 Tests here, that is an average of 5 wkts per match which again is a great number; and at Headingley, Leeds he has taken 4 & 5 wkts respectively in his 2 Tests.
Tim Southee
Tim Southee has taken 21 wickets in his 6 Tests this year, which might seem less but are decent numbers considering he can bat as well and provides bonus fantasy points and this was evident in the 1st Test at Lord's as he scored 47 runs. As context, in his 2 Tests at this venue his runs scored/wkts taken read 41/5 & 57/2.
Matthew Potts
Matthew Potts had a sensational debut in the first match as he picked up 7 wickets and then followed it up with another good performance with 3 wkts in the next Test. Talking about his form, he had taken 11, 6, 2, 6 & 6 wickets respectively in his previous 5 First Class matches before the start of this series.
ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes has scored 348 runs and taken 8 wickets in his 4 Tests at this venue which is a great record (approximate average of 125+ fantasy points per match). Also, given that he is the captain now, he will have a greater impact in this match as in his 3 Tests as captain he has scored 265 runs and taken 9 wickets which are again fantastic numbers.
Daryl Mitchell
Daryl Mitchell has scored 252 & 131 runs respectively in 2 Tests so far this series and thus has been a revelation in the batting department for NZ. As context, he is averaging 68 this year in Tests and thus is also an in form pick.
