New Zealand U-Bix XI v England XI - 3 day match - at McLean Park, Napier - 1991/2 - England XI 1st Innings

Half centuries to captain Graham Gooch and middle order batsman Robin Smith set up a strong England XI reply before an unbeaten hundred to Allan Lamb took the lead past 150.
Right arm fast medium bowler Michael Owens bowled ok for the home side to take 2 wickets but the rest of the attack was poor on a wicket which had flattened out.

New Zealand U-Bix XI v England XI - 3 day match - at McLean Park, Napier - 1991/2 - New Zealand U-Bix XI 2nd Innings

A patient half century to opener Bryan Young and more fluent fifties from Ken Rutherford and Rod Latham took the home side to safety before a declaration late on Day 3.
Dermot Reeve and Phil Tufnell were the best of the England XI attack with 2 wickets each but the visitors had allowed the home side to escape after taking a first innings lead of over 150.
With no chance left of a result all that remains is a brief session of batting practice for the visitors top order.

New Zealand XI v England XI - 3 day match - at Carisbrook, Dunedin - 1991/2 - Match Preview

Pitch: 64 - Recent heavy rains have made the preparation of this Test wicket difficult and there appears to be a very high moisture content just below the surface.
The wicket should be initially easy and slow paced but by Day 4 the bounce may become erratic as the pitch finally dries out.

Weather: Day 1 - 8 - Overcast, Day 2 - 6 - Light Cloud, Day 3 - 8 - Overcast

The England XI play a New Zealand XI in a 3 day match in the visitors final warm up game before the Test series starts.
Overcast conditions on Day 1 and 3 should aid the Swing bowlers, but some rain around means a positive result could be unlikely.
With Test spots up for grabs it is an important game for the England XI with the bowlers in particular hoping to impress.

New Zealand XI v England XI - 3 day match - at Carisbrook, Dunedin - 1991/2 - New Zealand XI 2nd Innings

Interruptions for Rain meant the New Zealand XI 1st innings was extended well into Day 3 ending hopes of a positive result.
Allrounder Shane Thomson made a solid half century for the New Zealand XI and there were 4 wickets each to Angus Fraser and Chris Lewis in a decent bowling display by the England XI.
An injury to slow left armer Richard Illingworth kept him off the field after his 8th over denying him some match practice leading into the 1st Test.
A declaration at Tea on Day 3 leaves the England XI some batting practice.
