Player of the Match

Devon Conway | New Zealand

It was challenging at the start and once the ball softened it got easier to score. This surface was a bit different than the first Test, slightly less bounce. As a group, we always focus on staying positive and putting pressure back on the bowlers. (On Rachin) He came out with intent and the way he built that partnership with Nicholls was outstanding.
