The Cornhill Insurance Test Series
England v New Zealand from The Oval First Day
New Zealand begin the first of four tests today with an unenviable record. Of 27 tests played in this country, England have won 16 and there have been 11 draws.
GEOFF HOWARTH , the New Zealand Captain, will be hoping that his team can break their ' duck' on his home ground. He will also remember that New Zealand have never beaten England in any form of international cricket until their one-day successes last winter.
