Harry Brook smashed a century and England then took five New Zealand wickets in the final session to put the visitors on top after the first day of the second Test on Friday.
He again rescued England, who had crumbled in the first hour to 43-4 after being sent in on a green Basin Reserve pitch. "Just the circumstances really. The pitch was doing quite a bit, seaming and swinging, and I put my attacking mode on, really took it to them," Brook said. Devon Conway was caught behind off Gus Atkinson for 11 before fellow opener Tom Latham was clean-bowled by captain counterpart Ben Stokes for 17.The lively Carse then claimed danger man Williamson, caught by diving wicketkeeper Ollie Pope for 37.Williamson had survived some near scrapes early in his knock, including being bowled by a superb delivery from Carse, before the anguished seamer was found to have bowled a no-ball by overstepping the mark.
"He's world-class and today he was keen to take the game on and it paid off for him. He played some ridiculous shots so full credit to him."
