On the first day of the third and final Test in Hamilton, England’s bowlers excelled despite a strong start from New Zealand’s opening duo. Captain Tom Latham scored 63, but a batting collapse left the home side at 315-9. Matthew Potts took 3-75, while Gus Atkinson also impressed. The day’s highlight was a remarkable catch by Harry Brook. England, having already secured the series, aims for a clean sweep against New Zealand, a rare achievement for visiting teams.
