Watling's double, Santner's triple have England reelingNew Zealand’s Tom Latham (R) celebrates the wicket of England’s Jack Leach during the fourth day of the first cricket Test between England and New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on November 24, 2019. MOUNT MAUNGANUI (NEW ZEALAND) - England were battling for survival after Mitchell Santner took three cheap wickets following a match-turning double century by BJ Watling in the first Test against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. After their marathon batting stint, wicketkeeper Watling and Santner reunited to remove Sibley for 12. It capped a remarkable day for Santner, who earlier posted his maiden Test century during a record-breaking stand with Watling. When New Zealand declared soon after Jofra Archer claimed Watling's wicket, the 615 was their highest total against England, going past their 551-9 declared at Lord's in 1973.
