Harry Brook's scintillating century was backed up by crucial late wickets from Brydon Carse on the first day of England's second Test against New Zealand in Wellington.
Woakes, Gus Atkinson and Ben Stokes claimed a wicket each, but Kane Williamson survived a tight caught-behind review and being bowled off a no-ball, both off Carse. In between Brook played his astonishing knock, supported by Pope, who again made a vital contribution batting at number six. They scored at more than a run-a-ball, vindicating an England ethos of attack being the best form of defence.
To negate the relentless New Zealand bowlers, Brook busily moved around in his crease. When the Black Caps missed their lengths, Brook pounced. He hit five sixes, three of which were audacious lofts over long-off from pace bowling. One went out of the ground.
