Despite losing the recent Ashes tour 4-0, the visitors opted to use a four-man right-arm bowling unit, along with Moeen Ali as their spinner, as they have all winter.
With England's bowling line-up continuing to be under scrutiny for being too similar, both Atherton and Lloyd believe fast bowler Mark Wood and spinner Jack Leach should be given an opportunity in Christchurch, which you can watch from Thursday at 10pm, live on Sky Sports.
"Mark Wood is here and in the squad so surely he is available for selection," Atherton said. "Is he fit to be selected or not? If he's not fit to be selected, why is he here?
"There comes a point where you have to make a change. I don't think you can just keep playing the same team.
"If Wood is here and fit to be selected, I would play him and I would give Jack Leach a go because you have to have a look at a left-arm spinner as a different option for the captain to have a bit more variety."
Lloyd agreed with bringing in Wood and Leach, adding: "It's obvious they [England] need some oomph, they need some firepower, some pace and a different spinner."
