... THIRD INNINGS ...

!
England have posted 360 runs on the scoreboard and they end with a lead of 31 runs. Who would've thought England would lead in this game after teetering at 55 for 6. It wouldn't have been possible without the innings of Bairstow and Overton. The latter slipped at 97, he could not get to his ton but did a major innings for his side no matter what. Stuart Broad's cameo was key to cut down the trail in no time. Jack Leach added some valuable runs in the end. New Zealand seemed to be in a spot of bother after an hour in this session, but they pulled things back really well. The Kiwis will be hoping to come out and chase the trail before Lunch on Day 3. Stay tuned...
