Joe Root hit a maiden test century on his home ground at
Headingley and county colleague Jonny Bairstow chipped in
with 64 to leave England on top at 337 for seven in the
second test against New Zealand.
Just as cricket fans waited keenly for Daniel Vettori to earn
a record 112th cap for New Zealand, his failure to be ready
for the Headingley test raises questions whether his days
donning white are over.
Brendon McCullum's decision to answer the New Zealand team's
wicketkeeping SOS is his first test behind the stumps since
playing Australia in March 2010.
