Taylor backs NZ to turn a corner

New Zealand’s Ross Taylor believes the Black Caps can return to winning ways against England, adding that they had not played to their full potential so far.

“We definitely haven’t got the momentum that we would have liked in the last couple of games, but tomorrow is a different story against different opposition,” he said yesterday. “I’d love as a team to take a little bit of pressure off Kane and score some runs and not let him do everything.”

“Every time we played England in the last little while it’s been a great series. I think it came down to the wire in that series back home and the last time we were here was a must-win. I think it was two-all, and Jonny Bairstow came in fresh and batted well.”
