7:28pm England should be the happier side at this point. At 87 for 6, 150 looked to be a bridge too far. Jonas and Carson were reveling on a track that aided the slower bowlers. But Knight and Dean helped England kick on. And they should be pretty confident of defending 155 against a New Zealand side whose batters are under the spotlight. England do have the arsenal to exploit these conditions that are still good for batting. Should be an interesting second half, don't go anywhere.
