LEEDS, England (Reuters) - Adam Lyth scored a composed century in his second test match on Saturday to raise England hopes that he could be the long-term solution to a problem position at the top of the order.

The compact left-hander made 107 in the second test against New Zealand, sharing a 177-run first-wicket partnership with his captain Alastair Cook at Headingley.
