NZ Side for 1st Test
Wednesday, May 19 2004
Stephen Fleming has been passed fit and will captain the New Zealand side in the first Test against England at Lords tomorrow (Thursday).
AS expected, Shane Bond will not play in the match, allowing Chris Martin to retain his place in the side.
Fleming, meanwhile, has recovered from his groin strain and will open the batting ahead of Michael Papps, excluded in favour of Nathan Astle.
The starting XI is:
Stephen Fleming ( c )
Mark Richardson
Nathan Astle
Scott Styris
Craig McMillan
Jacob Oram
Chris Cairns
Brendon McCullum
Daniel Vettori
Daryl Tuffey
Chris Martin.
