Summary
Henry Moeran is alongside former England bowler Phil Tufnell & Stephan Shemilt to review the first day of England’s first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch.
England spinner Shoaib Bashir speaks to Stephan after his four-wicket haul and unexpected standout performance on a green wicket which had lots of movement and bounce.
They also discuss the England fight back after New Zealand built partnerships early on in the day and how Jacob Bethell will be feeling before he bats for England for the first time.
Live text commentary of England’s Test series against New Zealand is available on the BBC Sport website & app.
