A proper twisting turning day of Test cricket started this match off, with a arm wrestle of a first session, a run of wickets in the second, and some tail-end fighting back in the third. England would have been worried earlier but will be fairly happy after Lawrence and Burns found some runs, while Boult returned with the ball for New Zealand to partner well with Matt Henry.
