England 314/6 in 68.0 Overs | England vs. New Zealand Third Test Day 3 Live Score: England lose their breath as wickets tumble

Smith hurts England again – If Steven doesn’t, Nathan will. New Zealand seem to have sat with their analyst all night as what they failed to do in 45 overs on Friday, they started doing from the first ball on Saturday – bowling at the stumps. Nathan Smith struck on his second ball of the morning, catching Joe Root LBW before also dismissing Jamie Smith. At the other end, Will O’Rourke got rid of the other batter, Jacob Bethell, overnight and suddenly this pitch was playing like a minefield. The Test captain and the white ball then came together to try to resurrect the innings before Zakary Foulkes bowled a beauty to get it over the wicket. And from then on, scoring was just difficult, every ball was expected to do something.
