1st Test Day 1: New Zealand 37-3 (Conway 17*, Wagner 4* | Anderson 2-10) Route England 325-9 December(Bach 89, Duckett 84 | Wagner 4-82) with 288 runs
MOUNT MOUNGANUI. As the English baseball train rolled up Mount Maunganui, Harry Brook was once again the torchbearer for a new generation of hikers on the exciting opening day of the first Test against New Zealand.
The color of the ball may have been different as it was a day-night test, but the 23-year-old picked up where he left off before Christmas in Pakistan. whitewash 3-0.
Brook missed the opportunity to become the second Englishman after Ken Barrington to score hundreds in four tests in a row and fell to 89 after a strange dismissal by Neil Wagner.
However, his clear thinking and accurate shot eventually saw him reach the fastest Test century in England, with Gilbert Jessop’s 1902 milestone of 76 balls still standing despite this current group of players. seemingly threatened him in every test they played.
Ben Duckett, who rushed to start this half before dropping 84 out of 68, nearly broke Jessop’s record just 18 months after the end of Queen Victoria’s reign.
But in the end, despite a serve that seemed to work, no one else topped Ollie Pope’s 42 when England called 325 of 9 to give their bowlers 18 overs to beat the New Zealand batters with a pink loss. Illuminated ball here at the Bay Oval.
The ploy also worked as England reduced their opponents to 37 by three near the end, Ollie Robinson got short-legged Tom Latham before James Anderson let the pink ball do the talking, kiwi mascot Kane Williamson with a pound for six in the rankings and with Henry Nicholls Crowley hit the second miss.
He does it again 😍
Crowley hits this one as Nicholls has to go for 4…
It would have been even better for the tourists if Crowley hadn’t missed his first shot at Anderson and Devon Conway at nine.
Highlights of the first day
Crowley torture
Zack Crowley could be eliminated three times in his 14-ball serve. Dropped the second ball of the game, moved Neil Wagner off the ball for three and finally got out of his misery when he put Tim Southey on a third miss. The opener later turned down Devon Conway James Anderson to end a miserable day.
Ben Flash
Ben Duckett became the latest Bazballer to flirt with Gilbert Jessop’s record 76 for England’s fastest century, accelerating to his fifty balls from 36 – the fastest for an England rookie – and still chasing Jessop’s goal in 84 of 67 innings before he became Blair Tickner’s debutant. the first test gate as he rode for cover.
No Joe
Joe Root’s reverse lean, first demonstrated last summer in the Trent Bridge Test against New Zealand, has become a staple for the former England captain in the baseball era. And he never got around to it before he was caught here trying to shovel Wagner across the infield.
Just as he was about to become the second batsman in England history to score hundreds of points in four consecutive Tests, Harry Brook was the victim of a bizarre dismissal at the age of 89 when he short-handed Wagner and returned the ball after seeing as his buttocks bounced. and on stumps.
I can not
Captain NO ☝️
James Anderson catches Kane Williamson for stumps to reduce New Zealand to 23/2…
The England team’s spirited claim to full use of the pink ball in the light paid off when Anderson took a key wicket to Kane Williamson in six after Ollie Robinson had previously sent off Tom Latham.
The last 90 minutes of the day fully justified England’s bold claim after only 58.2 overs – the second most in Test history after Pakistan’s 44.5 over attempt at Lord’s in 1974.
Although England seemed to fall behind at the end of their tumultuous innings – with a pace of 5.57 runs and up – nine wins out of 10 Tests under coach Brandon McCallum and captain Ben Stokes mean that this fiercely aggressive style is now maintained without being criticized. . . It should also be remembered that England used up all 90 overs to score 241 of four on the opening day of the first Test at the same venue just over three years ago. How times have changed.
It’s not just record flirting, which seems to be commonplace in this era of baseball, as England scored 134 and 145 in the first two sessions, which went by with little to no comment. This high-octane hit is now the new normal, but it’s still the exception in the testing arena where 100 runs per session is a good effort.
As England have scored all five of their previous pink ball tests overseas, this effort needs to be seen in context.
Also, no one who watched the opening day of this two-match series could complain about not being entertained. Bazball can’t always run smoothly and there will be bad days as well as good days. However, for now, England is just stepping in and enjoying the ride. may be long
Player of the Day: Harry Brook

He failed to break Jessop’s record and score a fourth century in consecutive Tests, although he will try again here in his second innings. But the 23-year-old’s accurate shot is a sight to behold, the six shots he landed in 45 over a peak on grassy banks in Southey.
– Johnny Bairstow, who is recovering at home from a broken leg, tweeted that he approved of James Anderson’s wicket against Kane Williamson.
What is England to do now?
Finish the New Zealand innings as fast as you can to get as much of an advantage as possible, then hit big in the second inning. If you do this, you will be at home in this test.
