- Stokes: ‘I spoke too much’ about Ashes showdown
31st over: New Zealand 105-1 (Latham 48, Williamson 0) The new batter is Kane Williamson. It’ll be interesting to see whether Ben Stokes hooks Brydon Carse after one over to get Matt Potts on. He had a remarkable record against Williamson in the 2022 series: 32 balls, three runs, three dismissals.
Finally an edge goes to hand. Young pushes with hard hands at an excellent outswinger and edges low to second slip. Brook, who as well being the No1 batsman in the world is among the most reliable slippers, crouches to take a very good catch at boot height.
