ENG vs NZ Series-Tim Southee Confident New Zealand Can “Push On” On Last Day Of 1st England Test :

Tim Southee believes New Zealand can “push on” against England come the last day of the first Test at Lord’s even though the match appears destined for a draw. Southee took a superb 6-43 on Saturday as England were dismissed for 275 in reply to New Zealand’s first-innings 378 after the whole of Friday’s third day was washed out. But England opener Rory Burns put a dent in New Zealand’s bid to go 1-0 up in a two-match series with a painstaking hundred, with the World Test Championship finalists made to pay for reprieving him on 77 and 88.

New Zealand were held to 62-2 in their second innings at stumps on the fourth day, an overall lead of 165 runs.
