By 11th over: New Zealand 29-2 (Conway 9, O’Rourke 0) Josh Tongue couldn’t take a nought-for if he tried. In fact, it’s happened only once in his Test career. That was the first innings of his debut against Ireland in 2023; in the second innings he bulldozed Ireland’s top order to take a five-for. Turns out first impressions don’t always last.
With Rachin Ravindra on a king pair, Will O’Rourke comes out as nightwatchman.
