Cricket: Michael Vaughan praises character of team after clinching Test victory in New Zealand

Preamble: Two questions. 1) When will England declare? 2) Will they win today? I suspect they'll have a thrash for 45 minutes or so, assuming they are not bowled out first. Some of you might regard that as unnecessarily defensive - England already lead by 501 after all - but it will at least keep the New Zealand openers guessing, and it might allow Andrew Strauss to get a well-deserved double-century. And there's so much time left in the game that three-quarters of an hour is neither nor there. I also suspect they probably won't win it today, for all the brittleness of the Kiwi batting, because the pitch remains so very good for batting. But so many of my predictions have gone awry in recent weeks that you're probably much better off disregarding all the above.
