New Zealand v England: first Test – live (The Guardian)

10th over: England 69-1 (Duckett 49, Pope 12) Jeez, Duckett is batting outrageously well. He times Tickner for four boundaries in five balls – mid-on, ...

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the first Test between New Zealand and England in Mount Maunganui. 7th over: England 41-1 (Duckett 24, Pope 10) Duckett continues his extremely impressive start, dismissing a Southee inswinger to the midwicket boundary. Duckett slugs a pull for four later in the over, his fifth boundary in only 24 balls on the first morning of a series. His career average is 28, which isn’t great but is comparable to all the other openers, and his Baz average is 27. It’s a horrible time to be young and queer in the UK at present, with the full force of the British establishment painting you as public enemy number one. A pull round the corner for a single brings up the fifty at exactly a run a ball. We may not be Bazworthy to quote Chris Lintott, but what a pleasure it is to watch Test cricket in the sunshine, especially after the week NZ (and other parts) has experienced.” To be honest, I’d forgotten this was the first Test cricket of the year. That brings up England’s hundred at more than a run a ball, and Duckett pulls the next ball to the fence to move to 76 from 58 balls. “Looking forward to (hoping for) the boos from the home crowd when Kuggeleijn gets tossed the ball,” wrote Paul Cockburn a few minutes before Kuggeleijn came into the attack. 16th over: England 106-1 (Duckett 76, Pope 20) Kuggeleijn drops a fraction short – if that – and Duckett slugs a pull through midwicket for four. 17th over: England 108-1 (Duckett 77, Pope 21) Mount Maunganui has a reputation for being flat and this is no exception.

The New Zealand squad is looking strong, with Kane Williamson looking to be a key player since the batsman stepped down from the red-ball captaincy. New head coach Brendon McCullum will be most pleased with his side’s performance and will look to make his mark in New Zealand to keep the momentum going.

Cricket: All you need to know ahead of the first Black Caps v ... (New Zealand Herald)

All you need to know ahead of the first test between the Black Caps and England. Schedule. New Zealand v England, from 2pm, Bay Oval, Mt Maunganui.

The game will be broadcast and streamed live on Spark Sport and the Spark Sport app. BJ Watling (now retired) scored 205 and Mitchell Santner (not in the current squad) made 126 as the Black Caps made 615 for nine declared. Between them, they combine for 1241 test wickets as Anderson (675) edges closer to Shane Warne’s 708 as second on the all-time list. Matt Henry will miss the first test as he awaits the birth of his child. The ACC will be covering every ball live on Spark Sport from 2pm each day. Stuart Broad and James Anderson first played in the same test together 15 years ago against the Black Caps at the Basin Reserve, between them taking 10 wickets as England went on to win by 126 (one of Broad’s victims being one B B McCullum). A little bit has changed to this Black Caps side since their last home test against South Africa almost a year ago. The second test begins at New Zealand’s premier oval, the Basin Reserve on February 24. Neil Wagner (he’s playing today!) finished the match with eight wickets. Trent Boult is no longer considered for test selection after not taking a centralised contract with New Zealand Cricket while Kyle Jamieson is also out for the series after suffering a stress fracture in his back, which derails his comeback from a back injury. It is February 16 and the official home test season is ready to begin! Since then they lost three tests to England and drew twice in Pakistan.

The first ball of this Tickner over is driven for four down the ground. Two things to note from that shot. 1. Duckett really is batting well, that was by no ...

The England pacer said "they're trying to get crowds and change the game a little bit. Some felt it in Mount Maunganui, and it was described as the biggest tremor in Wellington in a generation. Regarding the wicket, there is an even covering of grass, it looks flat and it will likely be a low and gentle-paced pitch. He shows no signs of nerves as just a Duckett single and a Pope two come off his first six balls in the Test arena. Without him, and the unavailability of Jamieson and Henry, much will rest on the shoulders of Southee and Wagner. Southee takes the new ball and from the off there is swing - Crawley avoiding temptation he surely has to waft at it. early days, I know, but the left-hander is looking good and untroubled so far, that shot - an on-drive - a great sign. The next shot is the same and far better timed but there's a man at deep mid-wicket now and it's just for one. Three runs (a single and a two) from the bat of Duckett get this Southee over under way and that's the 50. He's hitting the gaps with ease at the moment and it must be a bit demoralising for the hosts to bowl to him at the moment, the ones and twos keep on coming as Wagner struggles with his line. The first ball of this Tickner over is driven for four down the ground. The opener then pulls for four as the Kiwi pitches one too short in a nothing area and the 100 is up within 16 overs.

Harry Brook, Ben Duckett set England's tempo with rapid fifties (ESPNcricinfo.com)

And yet, the startling speed of Duckett's and Brook's innings were such that England had already posted more runs in two sessions than most teams would usually ...

If there is occasionally a sense that England are in danger of over-reaching themselves with this bold new attitude, it had been heightened one over prior to Root's dismissal, when Ollie Pope - quietly in control of his own tempo on 42 from 65 balls - was undone by arguably the first spell of sustained pressure that New Zealand managed all day. Instead, having posted a 36-ball fifty - the fastest by an England Test opener - he climbed through one too many drives and picked out Michael Bracewell in the covers to hand Tickner his maiden wicket. A remarkable 62 of Brook's runs came in boundaries - 14 fours, the majority scorched through point, and one towering six down the ground off Tim Southee as he turned on the style late in the session, with the floodlights beginning to kick in. And though both men endured some rough treatment, most particularly from Duckett in the first session and Brook in the second, they also chipped in with a maiden wicket apiece as England's attacking ambitions got the better of a succession of free-flowing batters. England by that stage had romped along to a typically freestyle 325 for 9, at a rate of 5.77 an over, and with arguably only Ollie Pope the victim of anything that could conventionally be described as old-school bowling "pressure". Ollie Robinson - already regarded by his team-mates as the equal of his seniors James Anderson and Stuart Broad - wasn't kept waiting long to live up to his heightened status.

'New peak for Bazball': Poms stun cricket again with Root's wild exit, day 1 declaration.

(England in 1939 declared 55.2 overs into a Test but it was in the era of 8-ball overs.) Southee, leading his country at home for the first time, put the tourists in to bat with the hope of exploiting the pink ball’s swing on a green-tinged pitch that had been covered for days because of Cyclone Gabrielle. He fell short, for now, of becoming just the second England batsman after Ken Barrington in the 1960s to hit centuries in four consecutive Tests.

Conway and nightwatchman Wagner were able to see out the final few overs and New Zealand will begin day two trailing England by 288 runs. And the trio were truly excellent, causing all sorts of problems for New Zealand's top order and claiming the huge wickets of Tom Latham, Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls. However, Duckett chipped a delivery from debutant Blair Tickner straight to short cover and England proceeded to lose several cheap wickets. Ollie Pope then shared a 99-run partnership with the irrepressible Duckett, who threatened to break Gilbert Jessop's 121-year-old record for England's fastest Test hundred. He added 89 runs with wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and, like Duckett, also threatened Jessop's record at one point. And after

England take charge of opening Test versus New Zealand (City A.M.)

England concluded the first day of the first Test against New Zealand with the upper hand after Ben Stokes exorcised some decisive captaincy.

It’s probably going to be a bit more of a graft tomorrow.” It’s filtered throughout the team,” Brook, who at one point smashed 65 off 39 balls, said. In the day-night Test match the pink ball tends to swing more under the lights, and Stokes wanted an hour running it in with tomorrow’s forecast set to be sunny.

Just 76.2 overs into this game and they are in a strong spot to make it 10 victories from 11. Jessop has never had as much airtime as he has over the past few months with Brook, Duckett, Crawley and Jonny Bairstow coming close to eclipsing his 121-year-old record. It's the hardest time to bat and we've got three of the best bowlers to ever play the game. It is because of the mindset he has imparted on his side that England are able to pound 325 inside 59 overs on day one of a Test. It may have come as a surprise to some but, in truth, it was just so Ben Stokes. When Stokes called his side in after just 58.2 overs at Mount Maunganui, he had just initiated the second-earliest first-innings declaration in Test history.

New Zealand v England: first Test, day two – live (The Guardian)

Over-by-over report: Join our writers for updates from the second day of play at the Bay Oval.

Instead they were their usual aggressive selves yesterday, then forced that home with a confrontational declaration, meaning New Zealand have a lot to do today to stay in the contest. “A good watch even at three o’clock in the morning,” says Alastair Cook of the Testvangelists. But nah, having an excuse to sit up and discuss crisps on the internet is a blessing, even if I’m done at 4.20, up at eight to do radio, then enjoying the final day of half-term while cooking for It’s like being told the Quavers aren’t Quavers, they’re manna, and they don’t taste of salt n’ vinegar, they taste of anything you want them to, which is the best flavour ever, that you haven’t had yet, that makes you see the world with different eyes and experience it with different soul whenever you’re lucky enough to see it cooking. If England are going to play this kind of cricket, the least I can do is support them with requisite calorie-consumption. 21st over: New Zealand 57-3 (Conway 29, Wagner 11) “Oh no!” laments Wagner as he swipes uppishly, but he has Robinson lumbering around the rope to save two, then he takes two more also into the on side. It’s a funny thing really, I remember Alex Ferguson saying towards the end of his career that when you’d been around as long as he had, there was always a record on the horizon, and Branderson are on 999 combined Test wickets, two behind the 1001 set by McGrwarne. Ran into a barmy army bloke at Mount Hot pools today about to walk up the mount before the Test, if you’re reading this, i hope you made it up and down and found the beer van to hydrate after your tramp! “Gday Danny,” begins Niall Allen, who doesn’t know that I went through a phase, aged about eight, telling people to call me that and now I’m 43, my mates still like calling me it to remind me of my behaviour. Then Wagner swipes around the corner and picks out Leach, who has four goes at taking the catch before he finally snaffles, then just as England are pulling out the George Peppard cigars to love it when a plan comes together, out comes the umpire’s right hand to signal no ball. I’ve never been able to decide whether, when I make my d’boo, I’ll wear a cap because it’s traditional, or a sunhat like SJ, because Warne and the West Indians of my childhood did. 26th over: New Zealand 82-4 (Conway 37, Mitchell 0) Anderson’s bowled tightly this morning, but hasn’t looked as threatening as Broad, and Conway comes down to his fourth delivery, looking to mess with his line by shimmying towards the bowler.

England strike under the lights after Harry Brook, Ben Duckett cut ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

New Zealand 37 for 3 (Conway 17*, Wagner 4*) trail England 325 for 9 dec (Brook 89, Duckett 84) by 288 runs. Another day, another display of genre-busting ...

As it is, he can still boast some of the most startling form of all time - 569 runs at 81.28, and an astonishing strike-rate of 94.51 that was bolstered here by 14 fours, the majority crushed through point, and a towering six down the ground off Southee that evoked nothing less than Kevin Pietersen in his pomp. The second session belonged to Brook, though not before England had offered New Zealand a glimpse of respite. Instead, Southee turned to Blair Tickner, the first of his two debutants, whose opening gambit was loose and nervy - not least his third over, which Duckett drilled for four fours in five balls. Introduced for the fifth over, he duly struck with his third ball as Tom Latham fenced limply to short leg, whereupon the ageless Anderson switched ends to pluck out two of New Zealand's batting mainstays with the typically miserly figures of 2 for 11 in seven overs. England's innings wasn't quite as eye-popping as their last first day of a series - their 506 for 4 in Rawalpindi in December - but its denouement was notable in its own right. England by that stage had romped along to a typically freestyle 325 for 9, at a rate of 5.77 an over, and with arguably only Ollie Pope the victim of anything that could conventionally be described as old-school bowling "pressure".
