Follow live coverage of New Zealand vs England from the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 today.
Ben Duckett and Harry Brook produced dashing half-centuries as England raced to 279 for five after two sessions of their day/night first Test against New Zealand.
Duckett’s dazzling 84 in 68 balls got the tourists up and running in rollicking fashion at the Bay Oval, but some slapdash dismissals prevented England from taking control until Brook arrived to reclaim the initiative.
At the dinner break he was 79no off 64 deliveries, in sniffing distance of a fourth Test ton in as many games after his prolific tour of Pakistan. He also has a chance of shooting for a 121-year-old record for England’s fastest Test hundred, with Gilbert Jessop’s 76-ball effort from 1902 in his sights.
From there England burned through their lower order in a hurry, swinging hard to a man as they the floodlights took over and gave the bowlers an advantage.
When Jack Leach was ninth down at 325, Stokes had seen enough and promptly declared before last man James Anderson came out. It was a bold gambit, but intended to get England into the field while the twilight period was still in effect.
Brook was dismissed 11 short of his fourth century in as many games, an unfortunate sequence of events that saw an under-edge off Wagner bounce back up off the pitch, into his backside and dislodge the bails.
