Read our privacy policy England endured a frustrating day in the field at Edgbaston as a debatable umpiring decision, a dropped catch and some high-class batting left New Zealand in charge of the second Test. Stuart Broad had been the standout bowler with two for 22 in 15 overs but he will still feel aggrieved that a questionable umpiring decision stopped him making an even bigger impact. Broad had already pinned Tom Latham lbw when he found Devon Conway’s edge and saw Zak Crawley tumble forward to take a low catch at third slip. Most wickets in Test history Muttiah Muralitharan - 800 Shane Warne - 708 Anil Kumble - 619 James Anderson - 616 Glenn McGrath - 563 Stuart Broad - 520 Quote of the day The footballers and Gareth Southgate, I applaud them for what they are doing.
