England's batters - led by their 'nighthawk' - have been told to "bang it around" and give their bowlers a lead of 300 in order to force a first Test win in New Zealand.
A topsy-turvy day two finished with England in a strong position at the Bay Oval with a lead of 98 and eight second innings wickets in hand to extend it far beyond with three days left to play. And with Stuart Broad, aka 'The NightHawk' still there, hoping to cause mayhem on a balmy day three afternoon, anything is possible.
Ollie Pope is alongside him, keen to play his shots, while Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes form a middle order capable of serious damage. And what is surely never in doubt from this England team, is their ability to take the aggressive option in the hunt for big runs.
