Steven Finn continued his strong batting run as he scored 24 runs in England's first innings against New Zealand in Wellington.

The Watford-born fast bowler came in at number nine in the order as England were bowled out for an impressive 465.

Finn's innings backs up two excellent batting displays in the first test where he scored 20 and 56 and his latest knock means he has scored his top three totals in his last three consecutive innings.

New Zealand finished day two on 66-3. Finn bowled seven overs, picking up one maiden for 11 runs.
