England 'won't die wondering' under McCullum, says Southee
Tim Southee has forecast an exciting time for England under Brendon McCullum as the former New Zealand captain prepares to go up against the reigning World Test champions at Lord's. Thursday's opening match of a three-game series will be McCullum's first Test as England coach, with the hosts looking to him to kickstart their red-ball fortunes in much the same way he sparked a New Zealand revival when captain of his native country. England are currently on a miserable run of one win in 17 Tests, with McCullum something of a surprise choice to succeed Chris Silverwood given his lack of red-ball coaching experience, although he will be working alongside a captain with a similar outlook in the newly-appointed Ben Stokes.

The first Test of the English summer at the 'Home of Cricket' begins on Thursday but hundreds of tickets are still up for grabs for the first day. Tickets for adults are priced from 50 pounds ($63) up to 160 pounds ($201) and Vaughan said it was 'scandalous' that Lord's could get away with charging the same price as a season ticket for England's domestic competition, the Hundred.
