Jonathan Trott was a pleased man as England silenced their critics with a much-improved display on day one of the second Test against New Zealand.
Trott, though, had special praise for Compton after the opener went on to score his second successive Test ton. "It's a great start to his career," he said. "I hope he can go on and open the batting for a while with Alastair. "That's what we want. Straussy managed to do that for a long time, and they were both very successful. "It's crucial to team success, having a solid opening partnership who understand each other's game. "I think the top three as well need to get on and work well together."
