London, June 4 : Opener Rory Burns (59 batting) and captain Joe Root (42 batting) came to England's rescue after they were reduced to 18 for two wickets inside seven overs, replying to New Zealand's 378 all out, on the second day of the first Test here on Thursday.
England finished the day at 111 for two wickets, and now trail by 267 runs.
If England have somewhat recovered from the jolts dealt by New Zealand speedsters Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee, credit is due to Burns (134 balls, 8x4s) and Root (112 balls, 5x4s), who have so far added 93 runs for the third wicket at Lord's.
