New Zealand 36-3 Chasing 254 After England Removes Williamson Late on Day Two
England set a target of 254 after a late collapse, and New Zealand finished day two at 36-3 on a bowler-friendly Lord’s pitch.
On Friday, New Zealand reached 36-3 at Lord's, chasing 254 runs for victory against England after day two of the test match.
New Zealand's first innings concluded at 113, conceding a 27-run lead to England, who reached 226 in their second innings behind 57 runs from opening batter Emilio Gay.
A total of 33 wickets have fallen in 137.2 overs with no spinners claiming a wicket; after 16 wickets fell on day one, the second day saw 17 taken.
England dismissed captain Tom Latham, Kane Williamson, and nightwatchman Will Rourke in the final hour, with Josh Tongue claiming Williamson's wicket just 10 minutes before stumps.
Devon Conway will restart the innings on Saturday at 12, though rain is in the forecast for the day and threatens to disrupt play.
