HAMILTON: New Zealand steadily squandered a good start, slumping from 172/2 to 231/7 before rallying to 315/9 at stumps Saturday on the first day of the third Test against England.
Mitchell Santner hit the last ball of the day for six to reach his fourth Test half-century and was 50 not out while Will O'Rourke had yet to score. The New Zealand tail added 76 runs in the last eight overs of the day to bring some balance back into the game after the failure of the middle order.
After a 105-run opening partnership between Tom Latham and Will Young, New Zealand enjoyed the rare experience of holding the upper hand over England in a series which so far has been one-sided in favor of the tourists.
