New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling has been ruled out with a back injury at the 11th hour of the beginning of the 2nd Test against England at Edgbaston. 

The injury has troubled Watling in the past and although it has improved in the past 24 hours but not enough to be him able to keep wickets for the full Test. 

He has become the third player after Mitchell Santner and Kane Williamson to miss out this test due to injury issues. 

Tom Blundell will be replacing him.
