New Zealand vs England: Five Highlights from Day One

New Zealand v England - 1st Test: Day 1
Kiwis were on a roll through the day at Eden Park, Auckland

#4 Fabulous in the Field

New Zealand v England - 1st Test: Day 1
Kiwi fielders supported the bowlers admirably

Kiwis were at their acrobatic best in the field, complementing the exceptional display of swing bowling by the Boult Southee duo.

Williamson's catch to dismiss Broad was one of the moments of the day. Broad's tentative prod at wide delivery was snaffled byKiwi Captain at gully. BJ Watling pouched Malan diving in-front of first slip.

In complete contrast to the hosts, English were shocking in the field. They missed a run out of the first ball of the Kiwi innings, Captain Root then dropped a sitter in slips to deprive them of an early breakthrough they so desperately needed.

To top it off, there were two very ordinary reviews taken to round off a shocking day for England.
