Records shattered by New Zealand on Day 1 of ENG vs NZ 3rd Test
The 317-run partnership between Conway and Latham is the third-highest first-wicket partnership for New Zealand in Tests. The duo also hold the record for the second highest opening stand as well, having scored 323 runs in December 2025 against West Indies. The 317-run stand is also New Zealand’s highest partnership for any wicket against England. As for the hosts, it was only the third time since they conceded 300+ opening partnership in Tests so far.
The second 300+ run stand between Conway and Latham makes them the only second opening duo to achieve the feat after Greame Smith and Herschelle Gibbs – who have done so on three occasions. The two batters also became only the third opening pair to post a 300-plus stand in a Test in the UK. While the partnership was New Zealand’s second-highest for any wicket in away Tests, it was also the first 300+ stand by a visiting pair vs England since 2012.

Meanwhile, England sank to a new low as the 361-run total amassed by New Zealand on Day 1 of ENG vs NZ 3rd Test was the most runs scored by any team against England since Brendon McCullum took over as head coach. This is also the most England have conceded on the first day of a Test since South Africa got to 362/4 at The Oval in 2003.
