- Stokes: ‘I spoke too much’ about Ashes showdown
35th over: New Zealand 121-1 (Latham 54, Williamson 8) Latham reaches his fifty with a gorgeous drive through mid-off when Atkinson overpitches. He barely celebrates at all, just a quick raise of the bat, and he’ll be desperate to convert this into a first Test century in two years.
That dream almost dies when he is dropped by Duckett for the second time today. It was a really tough chance, diving low to the left at third slip, and Duckett couldn’t hang on.
