England star Stuart Broad brings NightHawk "chaos" after comical New Zealand mix-up

England fans have finally been afforded their first look at Stuart Broad as the NightHawk, 11 Tests into the new dawn under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

After England bowled the hosts out for 306, they faced 16 overs under lights with New Zealand's seamers brandishing a new pink ball. England, of course, attacked and after openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett shared a promising 52-run partnership, they both fell in quick succession.

Crawley's dismissal saw Broad sent out at number four in his first deployment as NightHawk, a role dreamt up by Stokes and McCullum last summer - and first used in Pakistan when Rehan Ahmed filled the role while Broad was on paternity leave.
