England recall Matthew Potts for third Test in New Zealand

England recalled Matthew Potts on Friday to replace Chris Woakes for the third test against New Zealand, with captain Ben Stokes keen to build bowling depth after wrapping up the series.

Durham seamer Potts will take the new ball in the dead-rubber final test starting in Hamilton on Saturday after England clinched a first series win on New Zealand soil since 2008 with lop-sided victories in Christchurch and Wellington.

Potts has failed to nail down selection since playing the first of his nine tests in 2022 against New Zealand at Lord's.

He took seven wickets on debut, including twice dismissing New Zealand great Kane Williamson.

Stokes said the 26-year-old had a "massive engine" and deserved another chance in what will be an inexperienced attack.

TEAMS:

NEW ZEALAND (from): Tom Latham (capt), Will Young, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Tom Blundell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Nathan Smith, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Will O'Rourke, Jacob Duffy.

ENGLAND: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ollie Pope, Ben Stokes (capt), Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Shoaib Bashir.
