The 2nd Day of New Zealand vs England Test match was a gruelling one where New Zealand scored 306 runs. The wicket-keeper batter Tom Blundell smashed a terrific century as he scored 138 runs in 181 balls where he struck 19 fours & 1 six. Ollie Robinson was the pick of the bowlers where he took a 4-wicket haul in his 19 overs and gave away 54 runs.

England got a slender lead of 19 runs and in response, they lost their openers and scored 79-2. So far, World Cricket has witnessed scintillating action where England’s Bazball has been quite effective. New Zealand would be aiming to restrict England under 300 runs as chasing under lights would be tough for the hosts.

Ollie Robinson on Stuart Broad & James Anderson

Ollie Robinson was having an interaction with the media and was asked about Broad & Anderson

“They’ve been very open and honest with me since I’ve come into the environment, which has been amazing for me. Hopefully, I can be a worthy bearer of the baton, if you like,” said Ollie Robinson.

Ollie Robinson reveals a conversation with Head Coach Brendon McCullum.
“Baz is always saying to me try and be that partnership-breaker . When the game’s drifting along, try and be that guy to break the partnership so it was important for me to do that and kept the game in our favour,” said Ollie Robinson.
“It doesn’t always move (pink ball). I learnt it off Jimmy a little bit, tilting the seam slightly differently to how you would hold a conventional outswinger. It’s a bit of luck though, really. I’m just trying to get any seam movement that I can, bowl some more wobbles and go from there really,” he added.
