MICHAEL GOUGH, the England Under-19 captain, was impressed with his team's fighting spirit as they battled for a draw in the second Test against New Zealand Under-19 in Wellington yesterday. Having come close to winning in a tense final session, England preserve a 1-0 lead in the series.
England were set 221 to win after bowling the Kiwis for 335. They started well but collapsed from 58 for 1 to 58 for 4 in one over, with Michael Carberry and Giles Haywood out for ducks.
However, Gough made 69 before being caught at extra cover off James Franklin. Gough's departure left England on 149 for 6, but Matt Bulbeck, believing England could still win, and his Somerset team-mate Joe Tucker, both batting with runners, then held out until the close to finish on 191 for 6, 30 runs short of their victory target.
