Michael Vaughan is predicting a "swinging kind of week" in Nottingham and that means he expects his pacemen to bowl England to a 2-0 series victory over New Zealand.

Jimmy Anderson, Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad showed they could pitch it short at Old Trafford, with Anderson particularly hostile, but England still had to "come back from the dead" - a phrase used by their captain - to win by six wickets. Now Vaughan wants his quickies to lead from the front in the npower Third Test.

"It's a great opportunity for our swing bowlers to show good they are," said Vaughan, who today named an unchanged side for the fifth consecutive match. "Two of them [Sidebottom and Broad] are playing on their home ground and Jimmy Anderson is very exciting when he's swinging the ball.

"He should get lots of opportunities to do that this week."

Swing bowling has generally been a key weapon at Trent Bridge. This year it seems to be even more potent, proving mainly responsible for low scores in Nottinghamshire's three County Championship matches. The average first innings score has been 213.

"The lads here say that 84 per cent of the wickets have been caught behind or in the slips. That suggests the ball is moving around a bit, creating opportunities to find the edge by bowling full of length," Vaughan said.

"Swing is the strength of our bowlers and I think we realise it is going to be a swinging kind of week."

Durham's Paul Collingwood has been under more pressure than anyone to retain his place in England's team after a string of low scores this season for club and country. But Vaughan insists it is not harder to get out of his side then find a way in.

He said: "When you've won three out of four games from positions where maybe we wouldn't have done it in the past, doesn't mean it's a closed shop.

"There are people knocking on the door and the guys in team know they have to perform. But we like to be consistent in trying to develop a unit - and you have to be very close as a unit to beat the better teams.

"This is a massive game for us because we are one up and now we have the chance to go on and win the series 2-0."

New Zealand are so keen to get their swing bowlers into the game that they plan to wear "micro-shine" trousers to help them polish the ball. But Vaughan said: "We've tried them at Yorkshire and it hasn't helped much."

More important for the Kiwis is the likely return of Tim Southee, a genuine swing bowler who missed the Old Trafford defeat because of a stomach bug.

Southee performed well in his comeback game against Northants at the weekend and seem certain to make the starting XI. New-ball bowler Chris Martin, meanwhile, is to join Warwickshire after the tour ends on 28 June.

At the other end of the order, New Zealand must decide whether to stick with a spluttering batting line-up or replace either James Marshall or Daniel Flynn with Peter Fulton, who has not played a Test since January but hit a half-century against Northants.

SHANE WARNE has again ruled out an Australia comeback following his return from leading the Rajasthan Royals to victory in the Indian Premier League.

There has been speculation Warne could return for next summer's Ashes series but he said: "I've got no interest at all at this stage. I'm very happily retired. I've got a couple of sixes tournaments in the next 12 months, then IPL next April. That'll be it for me."
