New Zealand vs England: are there highlights available for cricket match? How to watch on UK TV, start-times

England have concluded a very successful day’s play during the first day in their Test match against New Zealand. Harry Brook top scored with 89 runs off 81 balls while Ben Duckett backed this up with 84 off just 68 balls and England rushed to score 325 after nearly 60 overs before they took the bold decision to declare.

However, this decision then paid off as New Zealand ended the day’s play on 32-3 with James Anderson taking two wickets.

England will be playing two Test matches against Tim Southee and his squad with the second starting next week. It had been thought the match currently underway would be delayed due to the devastating cyclone currently engulfing New Zealand. The cyclone has triggered the third ever national state of emergency in the country and the death toll is reportedly continuing to rise with a child included in the current reports.

England’s cricketers have been wearing the black armband as a mark of their respect for the victims of the cyclone. A moment’s silence was also observed for those currently affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.

As Ben Stokes prepares for another day’s action, here is all you need to know about how to watch the highlights from New Zealand...

When are New Zealand and England playing?

The first Test match started on Wednesday 15 February with play beginning at 1am GMT. New Zealand is 13 hours ahead of the UK and therefore the match started at 2pm local time - not the usual Test match start time of 11am.

The match will be played until Sunday 20 February if all five days are required and there are then only three days to go until the second Test gets underway. Ben Stokes and Tim Southee will meet again on Thursday 23 February for another five-day Test with play starting at 10pm GMT (11am local time).
