Your support makes all the difference.THE DOUBLE Durham spin attack of Graeme Bridge and Michael Gough turned the first Under-19 Test England's way on the second day here yesterday, as the pair took four New Zealand wickets between them for only two runs after tea.
The Kiwis, replying to England's first-innings total of 285, collapsed from 200 for 6 to 202 all out in the space of three overs. At stumps the tourists were 47 for 1 in reply, having lost the opener Ian Flanagan, but were leading by 130.
With injuries to pacemen Richard Logan and Joe Tucker, it was the front- line spinners - Bridge and Richard Dawson - who dominated the attack.
After tea, the England captain, Gough, decided it was time for his own off-spin to be given a twirl and he induced a mistimed pull shot from Peter McGlashan, who was caught at midwicket by Ian Bell for 39.
In the next over, Bridge had Michael Hendry caught by Dawson. Bruce Martin was caught by Bell off Gough soon after, and the following ball, Gillespie skied Bridge to extra cover where Bell took his fourth catch of the innings.
Only Michael Papps, who fell to Matt Bulbeck for 64, and Brad Patton, who made a stylish 36, showed any attacking flair for the hosts.
