MANCHESTER, England : England's Johnny Bairstow and Harry Brook smashed half centuries before debutant Gus Atkinson took four wickets to power England to a 2-0 lead over New Zealand in their four-match Twenty20 International series with a 95-run victory on Friday.
Atkinson made an immediate impression by taking the wickets of Devon Conway, Tim Seifert, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson. England started slowly but once Bairstow and Brook got going there was no stopping them as they combined for 131 runs. "I try and move around in the crease as much as possible, I'm just trying to hit the ball where it's meant to be hit."
