Auckland Test nicely poised
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Jan 26: New Zealand captain Lee Germon says his team can still win the ope-
ning c ricket Test against England, despite appearances to the contrary after three days, report agencies.
The Test was evenly-balanced on Sunday, with England at 366-6 reply to New Zealand's first innings of 390. Left hander Graham Thorpe was on 57 anil Doffiinic' Cork on 16 at the* close.
However, the /newly laid Eden Park strip — being used for the first time in this Test — has favoured the batsmen so far, a point best demonstrated by century-makers Stephen Fleming and Alec Stewart.
With two days left to play, it is difficult to imagine either side getting a result, but Germon isn't giving up hope.
We can definitely win it." he said Sunday. "If we can bowl them out in the first session tomorrow, set a target on the last day, it's definitely winnable.
"It's going to get progressively lower and be harder to score runs on the last day."
With the pitch offering only slow turn for the spinners and the odd low bounce, the admirable Stewart, his captain Mike Atherton and Thorpe cashed in Sunday.
Stewart started Sunday morning on 67 and hardly put a foot wrong on his wav to an excellent 173.
He drove impressively and was quick to punish anything short.
He got to his 10th Test century — and his fourth against the’ Kiwis and — with a sharp single to mid-on shortly before lunch. The century came off 161 balls, with 14 fours and a six. and with Atherton had taken England to 193 for one at lunch.
Stewart did have one close shave on 104, when umpire Steve Dunne began to lift his finger on a confident leg before wicket appeal from mediumpacer Justin Vaughan, then brought his hand down and be-hind his back.
Atherton was more patient, producing the occasional flowing drive and clipped stroke through mid-wicket as he found the form which has eluded him so far on the tour of Zimbabwe and New Zealand.
Early in the afternoon. Stewart, on 106. skied an attempted sweep at off-splnner Dipak Patel, but Adam Parore. racing back from square leg, was unable to grasp a difficult
1 Two balls later Atherton's M^Ych towards an I I th Test
hundred ended in unusual fash -
He slammed a ball from Patel back down the onside of the pitch. Vaughan, fielding at a shortish mid-on position, palmed the ball up and Patel grabbed the rebound.
Atherton's 83 came off 213 balls, and included 11 boundaries. and with Stewart he had shared a 182-ruri stand in 377 balls.
Nasser Hussain didn't last long, being caught one handed at silly point by Fleming from the tidy Patel for eight, but Stewart and Thorpe ensured
there would be no further alarms for England before tea.
Thorpe had completed his 20th Test half century, having batted 3-1 /2 hours.
Stewart cruised past 150 and by tea had reached 165.
But with his sights on a first Test double century. Stewart fell to a smart, low return catch taken by fast-medium bowler Simon Doull.
He had batted just over six hours, faced 277 balls and hit 23 fours and one six.
