There's a huge difference in the batting.I don't think there is much difference between the two teams. New Zealand batsmen have to be less aggressive and England's less timid. I expect Vettori will play at Headingley. Maybe Ronchi as well.
We don't have anyone anywhere near as accomplished as Cook or Trott, and Root is a very very high quality find who's probably already as good as the best batsmen in NZ.
