BJ Watling reaches stumps on day three unbeaten on 119
New Zealand hold 41-run lead at Bay OvalA masterful century from BJ Watling on day three in Mount Mauganui drove
England to distraction as New Zealand forced this arm-wrestle of a first Test back in their favour.
When Watling walked off unbeaten at the close he had batted all three sessions, having turned his overnight score of six into 119 from 298 balls and his side’s 144 for four into 394 for six. Given the Black Caps are down to be batting last, a lead of 41 runs that will grow further still is like gold dust.
