After losing the first Test in Hamilton, England opted to drop Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison and their replacements - James Anderson and Stuart Broad - impressed as Vaughan's side squared the series.

"We made two tough decisions at the start and those were proved to be right," said Vaughan. "It was exciting being out there with a young set of bowlers who have a decent amount of pace and created chances.

"Jimmy Anderson in the first innings was outstanding and I thought Stuart Broad's spell on Sunday afternoon was very impressive for a 21-year-old.

"That's not to say Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison aren't going to try and push to get back into the team. But the two lads who came in did very well and offered us a bit of pace which was a little bit lacking in Hamilton.

"It was a poor display in Hamilton but this week I can't speak highly enough of all the players and all the backroom team - the way we responded to that defeat has been magnificent.

"We lost the toss - we probably would have bowled on the first day - but the defining moment was the partnership between Paul Collingwood and Tim Ambrose.

"With a 140-odd lead on that pitch it is always a fair advantage to have and thankfully we took home the advantage.

"Winning is a habit and hopefully it will continue in Napier next week because it's a happier dressing room than it was in Hamilton."
