England v New Zealand 3rd Test Day 4: Live Scores and Updates from Nottingham

23:25 IST:

The ball did the talking – New Zealand had been fighting since the morning session, but Brook was the splinter they just couldn’t pull out. The intent was clear from the moment he walked in, the bat was swinging and the runs coming in a way that made England’s lower order look a little less fragile. But Foulkes, a shock sub for the Kiwis, got his man and broke the 32-run stand and New Zealand were suddenly firmly back in the game. From there, New Zealand didn’t let their tails wag for long. There wasn’t much lateral movement with the second new ball, but the ball did get stiff at times and made the batsmen uncomfortable. Although Archer and Atkinson faced decent resistance once it was broken, they were soon bowled out for 354 to hand an 84-run lead to the Kiwis.
