Agony for Kane Williamson, ecstasy for Matthew Potts. Granted, it may not trip off the tongue like Ian Smith’s famous commentary at Lord’s five years ago, but both emotions were very much on show after the moment that changed day one in Hamilton.
Williamson had looked indelible during the opening exchanges of this third Test, cruising to 44 and driving New Zealand to an apparent position of strength at 185 for three after tea. But when he was bowled by Potts, having deflected the ball on to his stumps playing late to one that bounced, England’s fightback was sparked.
