James Anderson is confident England will wrap up the npower Test series against New Zealand with a victory - but fears he might get a few bruises for his troubles.

Anderson's role in the six-wicket victory over the Kiwis at Old Trafford will be less remembered for his five wickets in the contest and more for his part in the subsequent dental work required by batsman Daniel Flynn.

"I expect I'll probably get a few shorts balls from the New Zealand bowlers after what happened at Old Trafford," Anderson said. "Certainly it's something I'll be working on in the nets with the bat - so I'll be ready to take evasive action or maybe even play some shots - if they decide to bounce me."

He added: "Although what happened in the second Test won't stop me using the bouncer again at Trent Bridge on Thursday and overall I am reasonably pleased with my bowling performances in the series so far.

"I was very happy with the way I played at Lord's. Old Trafford was a bit up and down for me. I had a couple of good spells and a couple of dodgy ones.

"But all in all I'm pleased with the way I am bowling and the way the ball is coming out of my hand."
