Nasser Hussain's England represents the next challenge for the Clear Black Caps. Five One Day Internationals followed by a three match Test series will be a litmus test of the progress these two improving teams have made in recent times.

Play this free Fantasy game throughout the series, and you could beat the selectors at their own game.

THE GAME

This free-to-play Fantasy competition includes both Tests and One Day Internationals, so you will have to identify those players you think will contribute the most over the whole tour given their likely appearances. But beware - once your team is selected, they will be your team for both the Tests and the One Dayers - even if they go home!

Entry to CricInfo Fantasy is FREE (but sorry - it's just for fun - no prizes this time!).

Scores will be updated after each game, so ensure you check back regularly to monitor your team's progress.

RECENT FORM

England are fresh from their successful One Day tour of India, where they drew 3-3 with Ganguly's men. Before Christmas, they lost 1-0 in the Test series, but had the upper hand in the latter two Tests and emerged with a great deal of credit.

New Zealand recently drew an exciting three-match Test series 0-0 with World Champions Australia, and reached the finals of the VB One Day Triangular series with Australia and South Africa.
