Harry Brook was dismissed for 171 after leading England to a first innings lead before lunch on the third day of the first cricket test against New Zealand.

Harry Brook scored a brilliant century to drag England right back into the first test in Christchurch on Friday, driving the tourists to within 29 runs of New Zealand's tally of 348 on 319 for five at the end of day two.

Chris Woakes struck first for the English, removing skipper Tom Latham for just one while fellow opener Devon Conway fell soon after, caught at mid-on for eight off the bowling of Carse. Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra consolidated to take the Kiwis past 50, taking them to tea at 62/2.
