    The Black Caps have been placed under enormous pressure by the First Class Counties Select XI in England heading into the final day of their warm-up match

    The Black Caps have been placed under enormous pressure by the First Class Counties Select XI in England heading into the final day of their warm-up match


    New Zealand collapsed with the bat - just nine runs between the top four with ducks to Will Young and Kane Williamson - to be all out for 148.

    The Counties side are 112 for one needing 152 for victory.

    But Black Caps spinner Ajaz Patel remains positive.
