    NZ managed 553/10 in the first innings. Daryl Mitchell (190) and wicket-keeper Tom Blundell (106) carved out magnificent tons. The duo added 236 runs, NZ's highest-ever partnership for the fifth wicket. England were 90/1 at stumps on Day 2. Alex Lees went on to convert his start to a fine fifty today. Pope and Root are at the crease having added 150-plus run stand.

    Why does this story matter?

    Root has been England' best performer in Test cricket for a while now. He is still England's most successful Test skipper and after stepping down, a second successive performance like this will help his confidence immensely. Root's numbers of late has been a step above the rest as he continues to make his presence felt in the longest format. He has continued to excel.
