Read our privacy policy Harry Brook stood head and shoulders above the crowd with a magnificent century in Wellington, allowing England to take charge on day one of the second Test against New Zealand. Having rode his luck on the way to 171 in last week’s victory in Christchurch, Brook was imperious at Basin Reserve, smashing 123 on a day where 15 wickets fell as ball dominated bat. That looked more than competitive by the time New Zealand staggered to stumps at 86 for five, Brydon Carse snatching two late wickets and a smart catch as England built to a crescendo. Brook held Devon Conway in the cordon as Gus Atkinson struck with the new ball and Stokes bowled Tom Latham for his first wicket since July.
