England find themselves behind after a historic capitulation in the first day of the pink ball Test at Eden Park, but they might be in a better position if a decision had gone their way.
Kane Williamson was on 64 – more than England's entire first innings total of 58– when he became subject to a controversial run out decision.
Ross Taylor drove a ball straight back towards Williamson's non strikers end, hitting the stumps with the New Zealand captain well out of his crease.
"I would have liked to see us appeal a bit harder. But look, that's the game. Decisions are right and wrong in the history of the game, we've just got to get on with it."
New Zealand lead by 117 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the innings.
