England roared back in the final session, turning the game on its head with sharp bowling and smart tactics. Kane Williamson’s dismissal by Matthew Potts, albeit with some luck, triggered a Kiwi collapse from 185/3 to 212/6, as the middle order faltered under pressure. England’s bowlers – Potts, Brydon Carse, Gus Atkinson, and Ben Stokes – executed their plans brilliantly, forcing poor shot selections from the hosts. However, Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry steadied the ship with a gritty 41-run stand before Tim Southee’s fireworks, including three towering sixes, pushed New Zealand past 300. Santner capped off the day in style with a big hit to reach his fifty, setting up a thrilling Day 2!
