Matt Fisher hit a vital half-century as England’s last-wicket pairing showed some much-needed steel but New Zealand were still able to chalk up a 100-run lead on the third morning of the second Rothesay Test.
England were bowled out for 291 just before lunch but the deficit could easily have been even larger had it not been for a diligent stand of 53 between the inexperienced tailenders, Fisher and Sonny Baker.
