2nd Test: England vs New Zealand at Headingley

Moeen Ali comes into the attack.

England really need Moeen to find his line and length. He has really struggled as of late - bowling far too flat - and not a great first over, either.

Impressive 50 on debut for Ronchi. New Zealand continue to fight their way back into this.

New Zealand may well get to 300 before the end of the days play despite losing 25 overs due to rain.

Ouch. Two drops in two balls. New Zealand 235/5.

And another catch is spilled. Shocking.

Good chance Beefy's fastest century (87 balls) at Headingley could be in danger the way McCullum has started.

Ronchi has 22 balls to score 14 runs to break Beefy's record. Not a bad debut if that happens.

Broad finally gets the breakthrough. Latham gone for 84.

Finally out for 88. Poor shot. He and Latham have helped turn this game around. Just deserved reward for Broad.

297 - 8 after 65 overs
