New Zealand have slight advantage in World Test Championship (WTC) final at the neutral Ageas Bowl here since they are playing two Tests against England in lead-up to June 18-22 clash against India.

"I would be lying if you think there isn't some sort of thought about the WTC final but I couldn't think of a better preparation than playing two Tests against England. At the end of the day it's a neutral venue [for the WTC final]," said Taylor after he was asked by media if the focus was on WTC or two Tests against England that precede it.
