ENG vs NZ: Ross Taylor Stars As New Zealand Gain First-Innings Lead In Second Test Against England
Ross Taylor's 80 helped guide New Zealand into a first-innings lead over England in the second and final Test at Edgbaston on Saturday. New Zealand were 326-5 at lunch on the third day, 23 runs ahead of England's 303.
The Blackcaps had the better of the session, scoring 97 runs for the loss of two wickets. Tom Blundell was 24 not out after being dropped on nought by opposing wicket-keeper James Bracey. Daryl Mitchell, one of six changes, including Blundell, to the New Zealand side that drew last week's first Test at Lord's, was unbeaten on three.
