Leeds - England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to field against New Zealand in the second Test at Headingley on Friday.
After rain washed out the whole of the morning session, England announced an unchanged side following their 124-run win in the first Test at Lord's on Monday that put them 1-0 up in this two-match series.
By opting to field under increasingly bright skies, Cook gave spearhead seamer James Anderson an early chance to take the one wicket he needed to become the first England bowler, and 12th overall, to reach 400 Test wickets.
Cook himself needs just 32 more runs to break batting mentor Graham Gooch's England Test runs record of 8,900.
New Zealand gave a Test debut to one-day wicket-keeper Luke Ronchi, who took over the gloves from BJ Watling, suffering with a knee injury sustained at Lord's.
Watling retained his place in the side as a batsman only, with all-rounder Corey Anderson ruled out because of back trouble.
