Mount Maunganui, Nov 23
BJ Watling scored the first Test century at Bay Oval as New Zealand established a 41-run lead against England today, reaching 394/6 at the close of the third day of the first Test here.
Watling ended the day on 119, having arrived at the crease with New Zealand on 127/4 and in danger of conceding a large first innings lead to England, who had been earlier bowled out for 353.
The wicketkeeper, however, slowly rebuilt New Zealand's innings with a 70-run partnership with Henry Nicholls, 119 with Colin de Grandhomme, and an unbeaten 78 runs with Mitchell Santner, who finished the day 31 not out. — Reuters
