Martin Crowe has announced that when he resumes on 94 not out on the fifth day of the 3rd Test vs England, it will be the last time he appears at the crease in England.

Crowe has his sights set on the target of twenty Test centuries, and provided he achieves the six further runs required, the two in this series will bring his tally to 17. He has said previously he envisages only playing for 2-3 more seasons and the forthcoming tour in South Africa could be the last time he tours.

Crowe has played Test cricket since 1981/82 appearing in 70 Tests, a number less than it should be due to New Zealand's lower rate of Tests, and the fact that he has missed nine tests over the last two seasons due to injury. He has scored 5209 runs at an average of 48.23 and requires 126 more runs to pass John Wright's record run-tally for New Zealand.
