England win by 126 runs and regain some self-respect

An excellent bowling display by the controversial new England attack has given the tourists victory over a very average looking New Zealand.  Prior to this performance, many would have the view that Hoggard, now fully fit, may have made his way back into the side for Napier - now we are not so sure.

There are still issues with the batting though. Tim Ambrose's ton in the first innings looks like it was the matchwinner, as without it the new bowlers would not have had such an arm-relaxing total to bowl at. 

Vettori will be rethinking his decision to field first, and judging by the amount of dreck served up by Gillespie, the ruling body must be regretting their decision to leave out Shane Bond and Andre Adams.

Onward to Napier now, with momentum swinging back towards England faster than an apology from a husband caught in bed with his wife's sister.
