Posted by Undercover 999 on Friday, 17 May 2013

New Zealand hold a slight advantage after an absorbing second day of the first Test in which James Anderson become the fourth England bowler to reach 300 Test wickets. The hosts lost their last six wickets for 40 runs as they were bundled out for 232, with Tim Southee taking 4-58. Anderson then brought a packed Lord's crowd to its feet by removing New Zealand openers Hamish Rutherford and Peter Fulton in quick succession to join Sir Ian Botham, Bob Willis and Fred Trueman in the 300 club. t New Zealand fought back through Ross Taylor, who scored 66 off 72 balls, and Kane Williamson, whose unbeaten 44 steered the tourists to 153-4 at the close - trailing by 79.
