With Bay Oval hosting its first Test little was known about how the wicket would play and while there were rare occasions when the ball kept low or reared off a length, it was still a good batting surface. “His application at the crease and his focus ... he faced nearly 500 deliveries which was an incredible effort,” Williamson said.
New Zealand kept England in the field for more than 14 hours and by the end of their innings the visitors looked exhausted. The physical toll on their bowlers could be telling with the second match starting at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Friday.
