An unbeaten Joe Root century and a bowling masterclass by James Anderson put England in complete control of the second test on Saturday, as New Zealand's hopes of levelling the series plunged with shambolic batting on a rain-hit day two.
"I just think it was a brilliant call, personally, from him," Root said of Stokes' declaration. "We might not be sat here with them seven down tonight, so credit to him."
Their bowlers were humiliated by Brook and Root on day one, and their batsmen crumbled meekly on day two. It was Pope's second one-hander, having taken the first with his left after a sweeping Nicholls top-edged into his own elbow, with the ball pinging over his shoulder to the fielder.Only opener Devon Conway and number four Will Young might feel at peace with their dismissals, both beaten by good balls from Anderson that caught thin edges on the way to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.
