Summary
England on the back foot as 11 wickets fall on day three of deciding Test. The pitch, a batting paradise on Thursday and Friday, had dramatically altered in character after two days under the intense sun and was offering more movement and less reliable bounce as 11 wickets fell. New Zealand’s advantage at the innings break was considerable given the increasingly uncertain nature of the pitch, making England’s new ball burst a vital passage of play.
