Follow live text updates as England face New Zealand in the second Test in Wellington.
England's quicks have bowled 96% of their deliveries to left-handers from round the wicket in this Test match. That is their highest rate in a Test since such data began in 2006.Atkinson's second over goes for considerably less than his first - just a single conceded as Latham chops the ball into the square leg region.
I can’t believe what I’m reading on BBC Cricket. Complaining about a declaration when 583 in front. Calling it arrogance. Highest ever second innings chase is 418. Must be some secret Aussies infiltrating the chat. Tom. Would you rather hang around unnecessarily for an extra day or two or get the game done and dusted and have an extra day off?He takes a single from his first delivery, bringing Tom Latham back on strike and the New Zealand skipper lashes Woakes for four through third.
His average length of 6.7 metres in this phase is the fullest he's bowled in any series, correlating with his highest rate of hitting the stumps - he's really pushing it up there.Woakes' first delivery clips the outside of the opener's off stump with the ball slipping between bat and pad.New Zealand are on the board - an errant start from Gus Atkinson as he twice oversteps, with the second of those also going for a leg bye.
But he draws a leading edge from Latham that drops just short of Brydon Carse at cover, before the home skipper clips a straight ball through fine leg for four.Re: Tom in Exeter. Feels a bit more arrogant to just keep batting for the sake of it. Regardless of time left in the match, the scoreboard pressure will be too great & the players get to rest up within five days.Sorry. Sorry.
