Advantage NZ as England wickets tumble after maiden Phillips ton

New Zealand claimed the key wickets of Joe Root and Harry Brook to seize control of the second Test against England after Glenn Phillips' maiden Test century helped the tourists build a commanding first-innings lead at The Oval.

England reached stumps on 222-6 in response to New Zealand's 391 all out, trailing by 169 runs after a frustrating second day for the hosts, bookended by profligacy with the ball and misjudgement with the bat.
