Debutant Matt Potts has promised England would continue to “throw punches” at New Zealand after a rollercoaster first day on which they surrendered a position of real strength.
England had New Zealand 45 for seven but allowed them to wriggle to 132 all out, then were 92 for two in response, only to lose five wickets for eight runs. They finished the day 132 for seven, 16 behind.
