New Zealand have declared on 521/6. They were scoring quickly after the wicket of their captain and that suggested, the declaration was on the cards. A mammoth score for New Zealand and all credits to their skipper, Tom Latham, a brilliant innings from the local boy helps post a huge score. An important innings from Tom Blundell as well. He was looking sharp and was scoring in quick time. With contributions from Devon Conway and Will Young, the Kiwis feel they have enough runs to play with.
