    What's the story

    The opening day of the second Test match between New Zealand and England, at Wellington's Basin Reserve, saw the hosts restricting their opponents to a score of 280.

    The achievement came on the back of an effective bowling strategy from the Black Caps.

    Pacer Nathan Smith, who is playing just his second Test, led the Kiwi attack with figures of 4/86.

    Here are his stats.

    Smith showed his class as England suffered a horrible top-order collapse.

    He sent back Jacob Bethell and Joe Root cheaply after Matt Henry dismissed both openers with the new ball. This reduced England to 43/4.

    Pacers Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse were his final two victims as England were all out for 280.

    While William O'Rourke (3/49) dismissed three batters, Henry finished with 2/43.

    Harry Brook shines for England with a century

    Despite having a tough day against New Zealand's strong lineup, England had a ray of hope in Harry Brook.

    He exhibited phenomenal batting skills by scoring a brilliant 123 runs, emerging as the star performer for his side.

    Brook's resilience was on full display as he carried England's innings single-handedly under pressure from the Kiwi bowlers.

    Notably, he was well supported by Ollie Pope's 66.
