    Ollie Pope slams his second successive fifty vs New Zealand

    What's the story

    Centurion Harry Brook turned out to be the savior for England, spearheading a counter-attack in the second Test against New Zealand.

    The match, at Basin Reserve in Wellington, witnessed England's top order collapsing to 43/4 after being asked to bat.

    Meanwhile, Brook was well supported by Ollie Pope, who scored a fine 66. This was his second successive fifty.

    Here are his stats.

    Match recap

    A crucial stand between Pope and Brook 

    Despite a shaky start, England's top order found stability in the partnership between Brook (123) and Pope.

    Their fifth-wicket stand of 174 runs turned the tide of the game.

    The partnership was reminiscent of their successful partnership in the first Test at Christchurch.

    There, Brook's 171 and Pope's 77 had laid the foundation for England's victory.

    Their brilliance meant England posted 280/10 on Day 1.

    Momentum shift

    Brook and Pope's aggressive stand shifts momentum

    Despite the early setbacks, Brook and Pope continued to attack.

    They soon added a 50 stand in just 37 deliveries, with Brook getting to his own half-century soon after.

    Their partnership eventually ended when William O'Rourke sent back Pope in the 39th over, but not before they had swung the momentum back in England's favor.

    Meanwhile, Nathan Smith (4/86) was instrumental in restricting England under 300.
