James Anderson produced yet another masterclass with the new ball as England reduced New Zealand to 37-3 before the close of play on day one in Mount Maunganui, picking up 2-10 in a typically outstanding seven over spell.
Anderson and Stuart Broad first bowled together in an England shirt on a tour of New Zealand back in 2008 and 15 years later the pair led the attack for the 133rd time. Along with Ollie Robinson, they were excellent as the hosts' top order struggled against the pink ball under lights after Ben Stokes boldly declared with England 325-9.
Anderson and Broad remain crucial weapons for Stokes even at the age of 40 and 36 respectively and Steve Harmison, who was on that New Zealand tour in 2008, says it is "ridiculous" that they still remain at the top of their game.
