New Zealand v England - 1992 World Test Championship - 2nd Round - England 1st Innings

New Zealand v England - 1992 World Test Championship - 2nd Round - Auckland

England won the toss and elected to bat first, and despite 56 from Hick, found themselves struggling at 157/5.
Smith and Lewis added an important 107 for the 6th wicket, Lewis eventually out for a handy 51.
Smith found another ally in Russell, the pair both going on to hundreds to frustrate the New Zealand attack no end.
Smith made 140, and Russell a career best 175*, as England finally declared late on Day 2 with the score at 560/8.
Rain and Bad Light had meant England's progress on Day 2 had been slowed slightly, and, worried about the forecast for the next 3 Days, Gooch felt he had enough runs, and declared.
It was unfortunate for Russell, who was denied a chance at a double century by the stoppages and the declaration.
With the score 333/7 off 100 overs, both teams picked up 3 Bonus Points.
