Fast bowler showed power in batting
New Zealand openers Tim Latham and Will Young had scored 13 runs in five overs till the lunch break without losing a wicket. The team is still trailing by 18 runs. Overton started playing last night with a score of 89 runs, but he was playing very cautiously against the fast bowlers.
Bairstow, leading the innings by 130 runs, scored the second-fastest 150 in a Test match for England in 144 balls.
England’s batting was excellent
Trent Boult (4 for 104), who shook England’s top order, ended the partnership by taking the wicket of Overton. Overton hit 13 fours and two sixes during his 136-ball innings. Stuart Broad then played a quick innings of 42 runs in 36 balls, in which he hit sixes against Boult and Neil Wagner. But Tim Southee (3 for 100) cleaned him up. Bairstow’s second successive innings in the series was ended by Michael Bracewell, who hit 24 fours in 157 balls. England thus have a chance of a clean sweep in the three-match series.
