Catches win matches? What bunk. England caught like sheets of flypaper in the first Test at Hamilton - and succumbed to one of their most humiliating defeats in years. And so at Wellington they've veered off in the opposite direction. Their ground fielding has been dreadful, particularly that of Monty Panesar, and today their catching followed suit. Five different fielders dropped five different batsmen, and Tim Ambrose committed his biggest error to date, a missed stumping off Jacob Oram. But the howler to end all howlers was committed by Kevin Pietersen, who is not, it is fair to say, enjoying the best of tours. Ross Taylor, on 30, swung Panesar high down to mid-off, where Pietersen ran in, turned two pirouettes, got both hands to the offering, and palmed it to the ground.
