Holder conceded that the lack of a healthy first-innings score hurt the team, but said there was no need to "panic". He backed his team to bounce back in Hamilton, where the conditions are usually more favourable for batsmen.
"To get 300 odd [in the second innings] is still very good but we probably wanted it in the first innings," Holder said. "We always speak about a good first-innings total; it always sets the game up. We din't have that in the first innings and obviously faltered.

"We shouldn't panic.I think we have done reasonably well in the year. We have done some good things in this Test match as well. So, there is no need to panic. Just one Test match gone - we have lost the first match obviously - but there is a chance to put things right in the second Test match. Hamilton, probably, will have similar conditions to what we had here in the second innings. I have played there and it is a good batting surface, and hopefully the batsmen can put a good first-innings total and we try to control the game from there."

With Southee set to come back in, the seamer most likely to make way seems to be Matt Henry, despite Henry's second innings three-wicket haul in Wellington. As BJ Watling remains unavailable, Tom Blundell will be the home side's wicketkeeper-batsman again.
