England took an imposing 151-run first innings lead over New Zealand in the first Test Saturday on the back of a majestic 171 from Harry Brook. The applause as Brook left the ground was as much for New Zealand holding a catch as it was for a magnificent innings.

Kane Williamson has slipped seamlessly back into the New Zealand cricket team by top-scoring with 93 as the Black Caps reached 319-8 on the first day of the first test against England.
