England, then again, may have a mountain to climb. After being dismissed for simply 143 of their first innings, the batting is giving indicators of a collapse once more within the second innings, with each openers – Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley falling early. England completed the day at 18/2, with Joe Root and Jacob Bethell left to rebuild. England’s aggressive fashion, sometimes called ‘Bazball’ has seen them dominate previously, however with such a big goal, they might want to discover a stability between assault and defence. Climate forecasts point out clear skies and a dry pitch for Day 4, so England could have a quick window to counterattack. Nonetheless, the pitch has proven to favour the bowlers, with Matt Henry and Tim Southee more likely to trigger bother, particularly with New Zealand’s aggressive fielding and ways.
