New Zealand look to draw the series



After a fourth innings collapse of dramatic proportions led to New Zealand being bowled out for 68 in less than two hours, they will be looking to bounce back in the second and final test starting today at Headingley.

Dan Vettori has been ruled out to replace injured Bruce Martin which means the visitors will play a four man pace attack. Doug Bracewell comes in, while Martin Guptill has also been drafted in to lengthen the batting order at the expense of BJ Watling. Captain Brendon McCullum will don the gloves.

New Zealand put up a massive fight in the first test so England will need to be on their game from the first day this time, in what is their last test match before the Ashes later in the summer.
