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.

England took charge of the first test against New Zealand on Saturday, riding Harry Brook's 171 to a first-innings lead of 151 before reducing the Black Caps to 155 for six at close of play on day three in Christchurch.

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.
