Zak Crawley reeled off a rapid-fire 94 on the first day of England cricket’s Test warm-up in New Zealand, a standout effort as the bowlers dominated in Queenstown.

It was a revolving door at the picturesque Sir John Davies Oval with the tourists dismissing the Prime Minister’s XI for 136 in green, seaming conditions before being bowled out for 249 in response.
