New Zealand: Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum (c), Corey Anderson, BJ Watling (wk), Mark Craig, Matt Henry, Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
Alastair Cook: Good question. It doesn’t really matter what we would have done. It really looks like a good Test wicket as both captains were undecided as to what to do. If the sun stays out, we know that Lord’s becomes a good wicket to bat on. It’s been a quick turnaround and it is a fantastic to be here. Adam (Lyth) will open the batting, Mark Wood with the way he has been bowling for Durham will be exciting to see them. That’s what we are paid to do.’
Brendon McCullum: We are going to have a bowl first. It has a little bit of green tinge. There will be some help for the bowlers in the first innings. The guys are very stable and have got used to playing to different formats. Those guys are ready to go, we have a debutant in Matt Henry and Martin Guptill also comes back. The World Cup was a great experience and we will have fond memories.
Adam Lyth and Mark Wood get their Test caps from England Director of cricket Andrew Strauss. Much deserved Test call for Lyth. He has had some amazing county seasons over the last few years and has been an integral part of Yorkshire.

New Zealand on the other hand, are currently in red-hot form and will be looking to add to England’s misery. Not only have England had a horrid time at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, the recent off-field controversies would have certainly had a mental impact on many senior players. England will hope they weather the storm and put in a good showing in the series. READ: Preview, England vs New Zealand 1st Test
