NZ vs ENG 2nd Test: Anderson, Leach put England in control after aggressive declaration

The Hindu  

James Anderson validated his elevation to top spot in the world Test bowling rankings with a lethal opening spell as England took control of the second Test against New Zealand on Saturday. Anderson snared 3-37, sending the Black Caps crashing to 138-7 when rain forced an early end to day two in Wellington, after England declared their first innings at 435-8. However, England still has ample time to push for a seventh straight Test win and consign New Zealand to an eighth successive winless Test. His blazing knock formed part of a 302-run stand with Root - the second-highest in England’s Test history against New Zealand - having rescued the tourist from 21-3 early on day one.
