England will win second Test against New Zealand, says Dominic Cork

It's hard to see how Australia's current problems won't leave the team with scars, which is fantastic news for England with back-to-back Ashes on the horizon.

Proud

No-one will be more determined to push on than Nick Compton, who followed up his first innings duck with his maiden Test century. Compton's a determined, level-headed guy and now that he's in the Test team he'll work and work and work to nail that place down. I was really pleased Alastair Cook backed him 100 per cent before the first Test because there were a lot of calls for Joe Root to open the innings but I think Compton's the right man for that spot. I watched him bat a lot last season while reporting for Sky Sports News and having played against him too, I can honestly say that technically Compton improved more than any other player throughout the year. Although he missed out on the chance to become the first batsman to score 1,000 first-class runs before the end of May since Graeme Hick in 1988, he was nevertheless overjoyed by the way he'd started the season. I interviewed his father Richard and you could see how proud he was - and he was understandably emotional too when Nick reached three figures in Dunedin. I fully expect England to name an unchanged side in Wellington - providing Kevin Pietersen's knee is ok - because I think the selectors have struck a nice balance with the side. You are always going to miss someone of Graeme Swann's ability but I think England can go on and win this series.
