4.15pm: Is that a good score? Probably not, in the grand scheme of things - but it's not bad from a platform of 43 for 4. Harry Brook pounded another hundred, his stand with Ollie Pope worth 174 this time around; but England struggled for partnerships and lost their last four wickets for 21 to be bowled out shortly after tea on day one. They went at more than 5 an over, in a bid to cheat the conditions. Let's see what the NZ approach is, with more than 30 overs still left in the day

Smith to Carse, OUT, slugged leg side... into the buckets of Will O'Rourke! Carse goes looking for the big hit, didn't get enough on this heave across the line and it's well held diving forwards at fine leg. Fourth wicket for Smith and England have been bowled out in a hurry on day one at the Basin

Smith to Carse, no run, length ball, slapped down to long-off. Carse is going to protect Bashir for a bit here

O'Rourke to Woakes, OUT, back of a length, Woakes throws the bat... Blundell thinks there was a nick on this. No one else seemed to appeal, but Latham has taken his keeper's word on trust and reviews. If there was a sound, there's not much else it could have been - and sure enough, UltraEdge has picked up the edge! Adrian Holdstock will reverse his decision and England are nine down

O'Rourke to Carse, 1 run, dropped! Phillips can't cling on - and again it looks like one that should have been taken. Similar to his drop of Brook at gully in Christchurch, the ball seemed to be on him before he could react
