New Zealand dominate first day at Trent Bridge but did tourists miss chance to bat England out of series-deciding Test?

Day one of the series-deciding third Test undoubtedly belonged to New Zealand as they posted the most runs of any Black Caps side in a single day in England.

A huge opening stand of 317 between Tom Latham and Devon Conway had England in deep trouble, out of ideas and toiling in the scorching Trent Bridge heat, but by stumps, England had taken 4-44 to claim a foothold.

Captain Ben Stokes, back to lead the side after a turbulent fortnight that saw him stood down for last week's defeat at the Kia Oval, delivered the breakthrough to remove Latham, before Joe Root's part-time spin drew Conway into a rare misjudgement.

England closed with two wickets in as many balls, as Gus Atkinson bounced out Rachin Ravindra before Jofra Archer had Henry Nicholls caught behind.

It saw New Zealand fall, albeit slightly, from a commanding position of 317 without loss to 361-4 at the close of play after a finale few dared think possible.
