One-off performances overshadowed batting problems - Hesson
New Zealand have plenty of time to ponder where it went wrong against England, but when they next take the field in coloured clothes the clock will be ticking to cement their World Cup plans

Taylor won't be risked in warm-up match
Ross Taylor is unlikely to feature for the New Zealand XI against England in Hamilton this week to ensure the best chance of him being fit for the first Test.
Taylor had been slated for the second two-day game at Seddon Park - which will be played with the red ball - but after missing the final ODI with a thigh injury will now either attend a camp in Mount Maunganui or train in Hamilton.
"We're not going to force it too soon," Hesson said. "We know how to work with Ross in terms what he needs to be ready for the Test but certainly won't put it at risk by pushing him too hard."
Hesson was also confident that wicketkeeper BJ Watling would be available after missing the West Indies Tests earlier this season with a hip problem. He is currently keeping for Northern Districts in the Plunket Shield.
