New Zealand take control of the second Test against England after Glenn Phillips scores his maiden Test century and Matt Henry delivers two key strikes on Day 2. Phillips’ innings helps lift New Zealand to 391 in their first innings. With England struggling at 222 for 6, the hosts’ situation worsens as New Zealand bowlers keep applying pressure and disrupt the batting order. Matt Henry, in particular, is described as making decisive contributions with dual wickets during England’s collapse. While England shows moments of resilience through individual efforts and a relatively promising start, the overall innings falters against the sustained Kiwi bowling. By the end of the day, England remains behind on a 169-run deficit, setting up a demanding third day for the home side to stabilize and attempt to reduce the gap. The reports are consistent in crediting Phillips’ batting for setting New Zealand’s position and Henry’s wickets for shifting momentum further in New Zealand’s favour.
