New Zealand have enjoyed a positive opening ten in this second innings, punishing wayward bowling with boundaries across the ground. England’s attack of Broad and Finn only yielded one wicket from their combined nine overs, that of Ronchi, whose attempt at a big hit found only the hands of Trott. However, things looked up for the hosts when Tredwell clean bowled Guptill for 38. 70-2, with 218 more needed.
