Martin, Bracewell to fight for spot

New Zealand spinner Bruce Martin and seamer Doug Bracewell are up against each other for a spot in the first Test against England.

The Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum has revealed that only one will take the spot in the team to face England at Lord's tomorrow for the start of the two-match series.

"It's either Martin or Bracewell for the last position, otherwise it's the same team from back home," BBC Sport quotes McCullum as saying.

Neil Wagner has secured his place in the team following positive displays in the team's warm-up fixtures.
