New Zealand 417/7 in 107.3 Overs | England v New Zealand Third Test Day 2 Live Score: England bounced back with quick wickets on Day 2

England vs New Zealand Third Test Day 2 Live Score: England fought their way back into the match with a flurry of late wickets after Tom Latham and Devon Conway put on a mammoth 317 for New Zealand’s first wicket on the first day of the third and final Test on Thursday.

Latham-Conway’s run celebration made a scary return to the England team after the disciplinary problems of captain Ben Stokes, who was part of an attack that was drawn from all parts of the ground on a flat, docile pitch at Trent Bridge.

With the series level at 1-1, Latham won the toss and continued on his way to a 17th Test century and an innings of 151 to help New Zealand reach 361-4 at stumps.

It was a welcome return to form for Latham after scoring just 34 runs in the previous four innings of this series.

The opening stand was New Zealand’s highest in a Test match in England – the first against England since 1930 – and the seventh of 200 or more runs by a Kiwi opener in Test history.
