NOTTINGHAM, England : Ollie Pope was closing in on his second test century and opener Alex Lees hit his maiden fifty as England reached 195-2 at lunch on the third day of the second test against New Zealand on Sunday.
Resuming on 90-1 after the touring side posted a dominant 553 thanks to a well-crafted 190 by Daryl Mitchell, England continued to score runs freely at a sunny Trent Bridge to trail by 358 runs at the interval. Pope, who had taken advantage of a dropped catch to race to his half-century on the second day, was unbeaten on 84 with former captain Joe Root on 35 not out, after Lees departed following a poor shot.
Lees excelled in good batting conditions as he fluently drove pace bowler Tim Southee for two fours before reaching his first test fifty with a four on the leg-side off Kyle Jamieson. On 67, however, he chased a wide delivery from Matt Henry to edge it to Mitchell at slip and the fielder made no mistake having dropped the left-hander early in his innings, ending a solid second-wicket partnership of 141.Root, whose unbeaten 115 guided England to a five-wicket win in the opening test, endured nervy moments and was lucky to survive after flashing at a delivery from Southee who also dropped him in the slip cordon.
