Stuart Broad
Stuart Broad's part-time brilliance leaves England hoping for more
It always seemed likely this was going to be one of those Stuart Broad days from the moment, five overs into New Zealand's invertebrate second innings, that Hamish Rutherford's off stump was uprooted and sent spinning back in the direction of the pavilion like a dying catherine wheel. It was a lovely sight — you don't see the cartwheel so often these days — and a lovely ball from Broad delivered on that brilliantly challenging full length that his height makes so difficult to judge, the ball running across the left-hander just enough to elude the defensive prod.
Five priorities for England to confront as big summer beckons
1 Win series against the Kiwis This may be a chilled spring hors d'oeuvres before the temperature rises (hopefully) with the Champions Trophy and the Ashes later in the summer, but England have a score to settle with the Black Caps after scrambling to a 0-0 draw in New Zealand earlier in the year. A failure to win this series would cost them two points in the official Test rankings table, seeing them lose further ground on the leaders South Africa and drop back alongside India in the chasing pack.

Andy Flower: England rotation plan will increase pool of top bowlers
Andy Flower has offered a robust defence of England's fast bowler rotation system that has angered their premier paceman, Jimmy Anderson, after he was omitted from the squad for the third Test against West Indies and may trigger a similar response from Stuart Broad if, as is a strong possibility, he too is omitted from the final XI.
Stuart Broad takes six wickets as England make West Indies toil
It was a struggle for West Indies. For most of the day, as England bowled tourniquet-tight and chipped away, they battled uphill. There were periods of optimism, as Adrian Barath and Darren Bravo added 54 for the third wicket and later as Shivnarine Chanderpaul steadied things with 81 for the fifth, that suggested the innings may be changing round. But slow as the pitch was, the ball swung nicely all day, always lending some hope to the bowlers that diligence would bring its rewards. And so just when West Indies appeared to be clawing their way back, they were rocked once more.
