New Zealand has taken a strong advantage after the first innings against England. With a lead of 100 runs, the team has made a tremendous comeback after the first Test loss. Now the Kiwis aim to give a strong target and win the game with ease.

The Test series between New Zealand and England gets more heated than it ever was. In the second Test, it is the Kiwis who have taken the upper hand against the home team. New Zealand started the game by batting first, and even though quick wickets fell, the team was able to keep its position firm.

Glenn Phillips powered them with a ton, as Kyle Jamieson also scored 41 runs in the end which helped the team to score 391 runs. In response, the home team had a strong start but they were not able to keep the crease for a long time. As the middle order failed to score runs at an expected pace, the pressure fell down on the lower order.

Matthew Fisher gave his best as he went on to score 50 runs for the team. Still, he remained not out as the team got all out at the score of 291 runs. New Zealand has taken a lead of 100 runs after the first half of the game.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to the same.

Far from Over

Matthew Fisher scoring a half-century and Glenn Phillips scoring a 100 were the most unexpected things in this game. Still, it has led to the Kiwis having a 100 run lead in the game.

About the Table

Some fans are still backing England to win this game against New Zealand. After all this win could help to make the WTC table even more interesting.

Definitely Not

New Zealand were completely exceptional with the ball today. But taking a look at England, this is not a batting performance which the team would have wanted.
