Nathan Smith becomes the 23rd @BLACKCAPS cricketer to earn honours board status at @HomeOfCricket. His accurate and nagging stump-to-stump bowling has secured five wickets in England's second innings during the first test.

The @BLACKCAPS look clinical and competitive after the resumption at @HomeOfCricket. Will O'Rourke bristling with aggression and Nathan Smith asking questions just outside off stump.

Glenn Phillips warming up with the ball for @BLACKCAPS at @HomeOfCricket. Looks like he has the nod at number 7. Settled weather at present. Looking good for a start on time under patchy skies.

What an incredible story.
With rare intensity, Martin Greenfield suffered the wounds and won the triumphs associated with immigration to America: agony abroad, poverty in a new home, workaholic entrepreneurship, fortune, and finally, a late-life reckoning with youthful tragedies. nyti.ms/3Pxj8Fb
