England keep the faith
12:21pm Wednesday 14th May 2008
ENGLAND have kept faith with their winning line-up from New Zealand and picked an unchanged side for the opening Test against the Kiwis at Lords tomorrow.
Having named a 12-man squad for the start of the three-Test npower series, England decided to leave out recalled Yorkshire seamer Matthew Hoggard from their starting line-up.
It means they enter tomorrow's match with an attack led by player of the year Ryan Sidebottom and backed up by Nottinghamshire seamer Stuart Broad and Lancashire's Jimmy Anderson, with Monty Panesar providing the spin option.
Durham all-rounder Paul Collingwood has passed himself fit following a third injection into his troublesome right shoulder and will help in the attack.
"It is going to be the same team that won our last Test in Napier," said captain Michael Vaughan.
"Hopefully, it will be a similar performance and a similar result."
