Captain says England are focused on series win.
Captain Michael Vaughan anticipates an exciting test as England [1.81] bid to win the series against New Zealand [5.5] at Trent Bridge.
The in form skipper, who says his side are going into the test in good spirits after their Old Trafford victory, believes England have developed more spine over the last year and posses the resolve to take the series.
He said: "The character of the team is good. We are bouncing back from positions that maybe six months ago we would not have done. We will be looking to make sure we win the series 2-0."
Vaughan also suggested that a draw [3.7] is unlikely, saying: "New Zealand have nothing to lose and will go out to play exciting cricket."
