Harry Brook’s astonishing lone salvo with the bat spared England’s blushes but New Zealand drew first blood in the three-match ODI series with a four-wicket win in Mount Maunganui.
Brook walked to the crease with England reeling on five for three and they slipped further into the mire on 33 for five, with their lowest ODI total of 86 against Australia in 2001 some way off.
