England Control First Test After Day Two.

Four England wickets tumbled in the first session but they still managed to score over 350 with Jos Buttler playing a significant part on a pitch that was playing better than on Day One.
In the field, England caught well, bowled as a unit and were rewarded with two poor pieces of batting which contributed to them leaving the Kiwis on 144 for 4. I was disappointed, however, to see no great pace from Jofra Archer.

Sam Curran took the all-important wicket of Kane Williamson with a lifting delivery.

The best thing for England was to see the departure of Taylor and Williamson in pretty quick succession, late in the day.
