Two lost wickets disappointing, hard work ahead - Finn

By Greg Stutchbury AUCKLAND (Reuters) - Losing two wickets late in the day was not a disaster for England but they would need to work hard to slowly overhaul New Zealand's first innings of 443 on the third day of the series deciding third test, fast bowler Steven Finn said. England were reduced to 50 for two at the end of the second day of the match at Eden Park, a deficit of 393, having bowled the hosts out just after tea.

Cricket: Finn puts England in charge against New Zealand

Devastating bowling from Steven Finn put England firmly in command of the third and deciding one-day international against New Zealand, who crumbled to be all out for 185 at Eden Park on Saturday. New Zealand were again forced to rely on the brutal batting power of captain Brendon McCullum who cracked 79 from 68 balls to give some respectability to an innings that ended 37 balls short of their 50 overs.
