England's second Test against New Zealand at Headingley delayed by rain

The second Test between England and New Zealand at Headingley has been delayed by rain.

The covers were firmly in place this morning prior to the toss, which was due to go ahead at 11am, as the weather has disrupted proceedings.

Umpires have officially confirmed that the start of the contest has been delayed due to the current drizzle around Leeds, and the forecast looks bleak, with rain expected to be in the air until 5pm.

England arrived at Headingley on the back of a dramatic 124-run victory over the Black Caps at Lord's on Monday.
