Newzealand vs England first day Test inings

We'll be back to hear from New Zealand! The English players take their places on the field after the umpires return to the middle. Devon Conway and Tom Latham will start the New Zealand innings. James Anderson is ready to go with the brand-new pink cherry in his hands. Play, please. VG

Second innings

Even though 325 isn't the highest score on this deck right now, Ben Stokes' decision to declare here is understandable. England would be in complete control if they could utilize the appropriate ball. The New Zealand openers, on the other hand, will try to weather the early storm from James Anderson and Stuart Broad without getting hurt. The Kiwi response will be forthcoming soon, so we will learn how things develop.

After the dinner break, New Zealand will be pleased to have restricted England, but they won't be happy because they now have to play the new ball under lights, which could be crucial. With the old ball, Neil Wagner showed his class and blasted the English lower order out for four wickets, despite being all over the place with the new ball. After the break, Scott Kuggeleijn also bowled well from the opposite end, and the two of them ran through the lower order.
Well, Ben Stokes has made the decision to declare! Ben Stokes and co. want to bowl late on Day 1 under lights and make the most of the new ball, and England finishes with 325/9. They were 279/5 going into the break, but the Kiwi bowlers bowled aggressive lengths after the break. In addition, Harry Brook failed to reach what would have been a fourth hundred in both Test matches. Brook and Ben Foakes, who combined for 89 runs for the sixth wicket, helped the visitors surpass the 300-run mark.
