Phillips b Tongue 34 (New Zealand 65-7)3h agoSession times for day two3h agoRed for Ruth3h agoPreambleA full session of play and only five wickets to fall. It must have got slightly easier to bat. Possibly. I thought Duckett and Gay batted with real discipline against some excellent Kiwi bowling. The post lunch session will be keyTime for me to grab a sandwich, back shortly.15th over: England 72-1 (Gay 24, Bethell 8) Bethell gets his eye in before lunch with two fours, one through the covers and one gully. O’Rourke finishes the session with a firecracker that flies up and hits an evading Bethell on glove and chest. Gay and Bethell punch gloves and are applauded through the Long Room and into the dressing room. England’s session – the lead 99.14th over: England 64-1 (Gay 24, Bethell 0) Henry again. Gay cover drives him with a morale-boosting purr for four, but should have been caught next ball as he edges and the ball flies between diving first and second slips. Four byes completes a helpful 12-run over for England.13th over: England 52-1 (Gay 16, Bethell 0) Duckett so nearly made it to lunch. O’Rourke greets Bethell with a snorting bouncer that he rather balletically evades.
