England left red-faced by New Zealand bowlers

Captain Kane Williamson’s unbeaten 91 set New Zealand up for a commanding lead after England were skittled for one of the lowest scores in their history in the first Test in Auckland. At stumps on Day 1 in the first day-night Test in New Zealand, the Black Caps were 175-3 and 117 runs ahead with seven wickets in hand. England were left red-faced when they failed to cope with a swing bowling masterclass by Trent Boult and Tim Southee to be all out for just 58 after a mere 20.4 overs in Auckland. They were flirting with the world-record low of 26, set by New Zealand on the same ground against England in 1955, until No 9 batsman Craig Overton spared their blushes with an unbeaten 33 at the end. Apart from Stuart Broad taking his 400th Test wicket it was a bleak day for the tourists, who registered the sixth-lowest total in Tests.
