NOTTINGHAM, England, June 27 – New Zealand are in front in the deciding third test at Trent Bridge after securing an 84-run first innings lead over England on Saturday.
• Nathan Smith, New Zealand’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 14, took 4-91 as England were bowled out for 354 just before tea.
• New Zealand had gone into the test without bowlers Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson and lost Blair Tickner during their first innings when he was concussed by a short ball from Jofra Archer.
• Concussion substitute Zak Foulkes stepped up and finished with 3-35, including the key wickets of Ben Stokes in the morning session and Harry Brook in the fifth over after lunch, bowled by a leg-cutter which clipped off stump for 58 from 80 balls.
• England’s only other significant contribution came from the recalled Gus Atkinson, who was dropped by Ben Sears mid-on off O’Rourke but then edged Will O’Rourke to Daryl Mitchell at slip for 23.
