England have confirmed that Serena Guthrie will captain the Vitality Roses for the first leg of their overseas tour, which starts in New Zealand on Monday. The only time he had any difficulty was in the second round, when Mervyn King took the opening set. And he responded to that quickly to win 3-1. "You don't go 29 games unbeaten away without playing a certain way, and bringing Sancho in gave them another weapon to play that way. With Ronaldo up there, you don't have that weapon to play on the counter-attack any more. And Bruno Fernandes was their best player last season - he's hardly had a touch this season! "I know the foundation is there, I know they're ready to kick on and I'm sure they will."
