Break up: Pietersen's finger is okay despite taking a pounding in the nets

Kevin Pietersen will be fit to play for England tomorrow at Trent Bridge despite being hit on the finger today in the nets.

Captain Michael Vaughan described the batsman as "fine" before announcing an unchanged line-up to face New Zealand in the third and final Test.

That means England should be unchanged for the fifth straight match, which they have not managed for 120 years.

"It's an incredible statistic," said Vaughan, whose side lead the series 1-0.
