Leeds lost 4 wickets for 21 runs and 6 wickets for 55 runs. With all the leading batsmen back home, it was doubtful whether England would score three runs in the third Test against New Zealand. But Johnny Bairstow (130 not out) and Jamie Overton (89 not out) put the hosts back in contention for the seventh wicket. By the end of the second day, England were 264 for six. Score: First Innings – New Zealand 329. England 6 for 264.
All four of England’s leading batsmen were out in the first eight overs. No one was able to cross the two-wicket mark, with Trent Bolt taking 3 wickets. Captain Ben Stokes, who came in behind, also disappointed (18). Bairstow and Overton rescued England from a massive 55 at 6. They have scored 209 runs for the seventh wicket so far.
