England vs New Zealand: I'm hoping Edgbaston Test puts me in good stead for WTC Final, says Trent Boult

Trent Boult is playing red-ball cricket after more than 5 months but showed no signs of any rustiness as he picked up 4 wickets in England's first innings of the second Test at Edgbaston.

New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult is hoping that the ongoing second Test against England provides good practice for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final against India next week. Boult is playing red-ball cricket after more than five months but showed no signs of any rustiness as he picked up 4 wickets from a staggering 29 overs in England's first innings at Edgbaston. He is going to be leading the Kiwi pace attack in a few days' time when New Zealand take on India in the WTC Final at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton from June 18.
