All five NZ-England ODIs to be day/night matches

All five of New Zealand's One-Day Internationals with England in February will be day/night matches.

Originally no decision had been made on whether games in Auckland and Wellington would be day or day/night games.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive Martin Snedden said today that consultations with Auckland Cricket and Cricket Wellington had resulted in the decision to make both games day/night matches.

"The reasoning is that a day/night game allows spectators more flexibility in their travelling arrangements and the changing environment adds to the excitement of the match," he said.

The matches are: (reserve days will be day games): Wednesday, February 13, Jade Stadium, Christchurch; Saturday, Feb 16, WestpacTrust Stadium, Wellington; Wednesday, Feb 20, McLean Park, Napier; Saturday, Feb 23, Eden Park, Auckland; Tuesday, Feb 26, Carisbrook, Dunedin.
