- England finish day one on 283 for three v New Zealand XI
- ‘I don’t really fear too many people now,’ says Sibley
Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley could scarcely have wished to make a better first impression on their first day for England, compiling promising centuries such that their captain, Joe Root, spent a good chunk of it waiting in the pavilion.
England’s plan in Test cricket under their new head coach, Chris Silverwood, sees Root back at No 4 and it is hoped that a top three reinforced by the obdurate Sibley can stop – or at least significantly reduce – his early arrivals at the crease.
