New Zealand vs England 1st Test Live Scores | NZ vs ENG 1st Test Day 3 Live Scores & Commentary

Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the third day's play of the first Test between New Zealand and England. After posting 348 runs on the board the NZ pacers started well. They got the ball to move much more than their counterparts and it's fair to say that they also bowled better than the English seamers. However their fielders couldn't back them up. After reducing the tourists to 71/4 they let England off the hook.

They dropped 6 catches in total (Latham - 3 Conway - 1 Phillips - 1 and Conway - 1). Harry Brook was dropped four times and he made merry - stitched a 151-run partnership with Pope and notched up a century. Currently England will be the happier side as they are just 29 runs behind with five wickets in hand. Can New Zealand bounce back? Let's find out. Promises to be an exciting day of Test cricket.

With the highs of whitewashing India barely having sunk in New Zealand get ready to take on a purposeful England side - a side that’ll be keen on putting some of the chatter about Bazball not quite being as effective whilst they travel to bed. Both teams compete for a newly carved Crowe-Thorpe trophy in a 3-match series and we’re at the beautiful Hagley Oval at Christchurch for the 1st Test. BTW Live. Cricket Live. crictalks Live Cricket.

News snippets of note leading up to this game are that Jacob Bethell will be making his debut with regular keeper Jamie Smith on paternity leave and that Ollie Pope is set to take on the gloves and slide down to number six. New Zealand too are set to have a debutant with all-rounder Nathan Smith getting a cap.

Also quite interestingly but not very unexpectedly Kane Williamson slots straight back into the side in place of Will Young who was Man of the Series against India just a couple of weeks ago. Early pictures of the pitch showed it was quite green but that’s hardly anything to go by as pitches in New Zealand have produced some great contests of late.

Ben Stokes | England captain: We're going to have a bowl. Wicket generally gets better as cricket's played on it. Nice covering of grass on it hopefully we can get the most out of it with a new ball. It's about how both teams try to get the game on and push the limits. Hopefully the results pan out the way they did last time and we have a winner. It's an amazing thing to be playing for in this series (Crowe-Thorpe trophy) two legends of the game so to be able to commemorate is special. Unfortunate for Cox to get injured but it gives another exciting youngster to get a crack.

Tom Latham | New Zealand Captain: We were going to have a bowl first but if you get through the first bit it gets easier to bat. The public has got right behind us having a series against England now is great timing. Sold-out crowds here and at the Basin should be great. Any time someone makes their debut it's a special time. He (Nathan Smith) fits the balance of our bowling nicely. Iqbal Sports Live. km Punk Live. Crictalks Live. By The Way.
