England make dream start under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum as NZ skittled for just 132

The returning James Anderson and debutant Matty Potts starred for England as they bowled New Zealand out for just 132 in the first Test of a new era under the new head coach and captain combination of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.

It was a dream start for England as Anderson and Stuart Broad made early inroads with the new ball, before Potts came to the fore. Anderson picked up the first wicket in just the third over of the match when a stunning catch from Jonny Bairstow saw Will Young dismissed for just one.

Anderson and Bairstow combined again one over later to remove Tom Latham for one, before Broad got in on the act to dismiss Devon Conway for three. Potts then took centre stage on his debut, bowling a remarkable spell before lunch.
