England vs New Zealand Live Streaming: Watch Free Online Second and Final T20 Game From The Oval

Jun 27, 2013 12:49 PM EDT

England will look to bite back when they take on New Zealand in the second and final T20 match at The Oval Thursday.

New Zealand narrowly beat England in the first T20 a couple of days back, but England will look to level the series, particularly with their best batsman Kevin Pietersen set to return.

Pietersen made a splendid comeback from injury, scoring an unbeaten 177 for Surrey and the stylish right-hander will look to add some more form to his kitty ahead of the Ashes series.

"I've been burnt too many times and it's just a case of me now concentrating on my cricket and playing my cricket as best I can because that whole situation hurt my family too much," Pietersen, who has had plenty of run-ins with ECB and the media, said. "I get it all day every day.

"Somebody asked me yesterday, 'Can you take some constructive criticism?' I said, 'Excuse me? You're talking to somebody who has it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.'

"So it doesn't affect me, it's water off a duck's back now. I have absolutely no interest in it but it hurt my family and my best mates.

"You go through rocky patches in every walk of life -- business, marriage, as a kid, through your teenage years. In a dressing room not everyone's going to get on and I know you had altercations in your dressing room.

"I know some other great players who I speak to in other countries when I hear the things that go on in other dressing rooms now and it happens, it's going to happen.

"Unfortunately it was quite a famous fall out because of what happened but, no, everything's absolutely fantastic, we showed that in India the way we got on and played well and beat India in India.

"I just want to get the best out of my talent. I just live for each day, I play each day. I go out and try new things. I've got that personality, that impatient personality, that wants to try things, wants to do things, wants to achieve things and I'll never stop trying."
