The tourists were within 29 runs of New Zealand's tally of 348 on 319 for five at the end of day two
CHRISTCHURCH – Harry Brook scored a brilliant century to drag England right back into the first Test here on Friday, driving the tourists to within 29 runs of New Zealand's tally of 348 on 319 for five at the end of day two.
Brook, having brought up his half century with one of his two sixes, forged on to pass 2,000 career runs and secured his seventh century in 22 Tests when he sent one of his 10 fours racing to the Hagley Oval boundary. "They bowled really well early, some pretty good balls in there ... so from where we were to where we're finishing the day, the boys are really happy with what's on the scoreboard.
Smith removed fellow Test debutant Bethell for 10 with an outside edge before Root, playing his 150th Test, chopped on for a duck four balls later. The last of a half dozen dropped catches by Black Caps came off Smith's bowling when skipper Tom Latham put down his counterpart Stokes at short cover a few overs before the close of play.
