First Test NZ v Eng

England 58 - NZ lead by 30 at dinner
Williamson 59*, Latham 26*
England's sixth lowest Test total
Boult 6-32, Southee 4-25; five ducks
NZ won toss; two-Test series
Inaugural day-night Test in NZ
 
That was embarrassing. To effectively throw away the test in the first session on day 1. If it wasn't for Somerset's Craig Overton it would have been lowest ever Test score. :wall:

England 58: Overton 33*; Boult 6-32, Southee 4-25
New Zealand 175-3: Williamson 91*
New Zealand lead by 117 runs
 
oh dear . NZ might as well declare now :pointy: :pointy: :pointy: :pointy: :pointy: ( not that i'm gloating at all )
 
I did think about taking out a weeks subscription on NOW TV to watch the match. Good job I didn't - obviously a 24 hour pass would have done it.
 
Good news this morning is that it’s been raining and match halted. NZ are 229-4 so a lead of 171 with 6 wickets remaining.

I always used to get a phone call at the last minute asking me to play and I would always say yes!
 
Fantastic from England. Deliberate collapse of batting to lure NZ into a complete sense of false superiority. If only it hadn’t rained all day today we’d have them on the ropes by now. Showers forecasted first thing tomorrow. Then it’ll dry out so we can put them to the sword.
