Henry Nicholls, recalled by New Zealand to replace retired great Kane Williamson, has smacked an unbeaten century against England to help boost their lead to a formidable 352 on day three of the second Test at the Oval.
The Black Caps were 3-252 in their second innings at stumps on Friday, after earning a hefty 100-run first innings lead by dismissing England for 291 on the stroke of lunch.
Nicholls reached stumps on 119 and featured on a blue sky day with Rachin Ravindra, out for 76. They first steadied the innings, rebuilt it, then flayed England after tea.
