England struggle in final Test warm-up
DUNEDIN (New Zealand), Feb 28: England were bowled out for just 131 on the opening day of their final warm-up match for next week痴 first Test against New Zealand.
Kevin Pietersen top-scored with 50 but the other batsmen struggled in Dunedin after the touring side were put into bat by New Zealand Selection XI captain Jamie How.
How then struck 10 fours in a fluent 65 to lift the hosts to 177 for four at the close in the three-day first-class match.
England captain Michael Vaughan lasted just two balls, Alastair Cook made 19, Andrew Strauss five and Ian Bell 10 before Paul Collingwood scratched around for just two runs from 40 balls.
Pietersen was the only batsman to look comfortable at the crease, hitting nine fours from 72 deliveries. Seamer Iain O達rien took four wickets and Mark Gillespie three.
