Kane Williamson’s reaction
It was challenging and we had to work hard to put some partnerships together. The ball did a little bit throughout, but as we know the wicket here is generally fair for ball and bat. The guys applied themselves really well. Both teams fought hard and got some rewards. It’s pretty evenly poised after day one. It’ll depend on how the surface changes throughout.
It’s nice to be back with the team. It was an incredible effort in India and a really proud moment. They played so bravely in conditions that are foreign to us. It was an amazing achievement.
[On Shoaib Bashir] He bowled nicely, he got a bit of drop into the wind and he’s a tall guy so he got some bounce too. He got some nice rewards.
