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.
