England vs New Zealand, Third Test Day 2 Live Score: England fought its way back into the match with a flurry of late wickets after Tom Latham and Devon Conway had put on a mammoth 317 for New Zealand’s first wicket on Day 1 of the third and final test on Thursday.
The Latham-Conway run fest made for a nightmarish return to the England team after disciplinary issues for captain Ben Stokes, who was part of an attack that was flayed to all parts of the ground on a flat, docile pitch at Trent Bridge.
With the series level at 1-1, Latham won the toss and went on to power his way to a 17th test century and an innings of 151 to help New Zealand reach 361-4 at stumps.
It was a welcome return to form for Latham after he had scored only 34 runs in four previous innings this series.
The opening stand was the highest by New Zealand in a test match in England — the country’s first against England since 1930 — and the seventh of 200 runs or more by Kiwi openers in test history.
