England VS. New Zealand Third Test Highlights, Nottingham

The partnership of 317 between Tom Latham and Devon Conway is New Zealand's highest opening stand against England surpassing the 276 between Stewie Dempster and John Mills at Wellington in 1929-30.
The stand is the second highest for any wicket at Trent Bridge. The 329 between Geoff Marsh and Mark Taylor for the first Australian wicket against England in 1989 leads the way.
The partnership is the seventeenth of over 300 for the first wicket but only the third of which where a team has been subsequently dismissed. The other such occasions were England against Australia at Melbourne in 1911-12 and England vs. South Africa at Johannesburg in 1948-49.
New Zealand's first innings 438 is the lowest, completed team score after a 300-run opening partnership.
Based on losing all ten wickets for no more than the 121 which New Zealand did in this match after a high opening stand, the 317-run partnership is therefore the highest opening stand in Test history after which there has been a significant collapse. Previously, Pakistan reached 298-0 before being dismissed for 417 against West Indies at Karachi in 1997-98.
New Zealand's first innings saw their second occasion of both openers scoring 150 or more. Their last occasion was against West Indies at Georgetown in 1971-72.
Latham and Conway became the ninth pair to share in two or more 300-run partnerships. They join Graeme Smith & Herschelle Gibbs; Hashim Amla & Jacques Kallis (both three); Bill Ponsford & Don Bradman; Ricky Ponting & Michael Clarke; Joe Root & Harry Brook; Kumar Sangakkara & Mahela Jayawardene; Kane Williamson & Henry Nicholls and Younis Khan & Mohammad Yousuf (1435)
The New Zealand first innings was the fourth occasion where both openers made 150 or more with no other player scoring fifty. This is based on all eleven players batting. The other occasions were England vs. Australia at Melbourne in 1924-25; Pakistan vs. West Indies at Karachi in 1997-98 and Sri Lanka vs. Zimbabwe at Harare in 2003-04.
Latham became the tenth New Zealand player to score 1000 Test runs against England.
Tom Blundell became the eleventh player - and third in this series after Daryl Mitchell and Latham - to reach 1000 Test runs against England.
Blundell did, however, go past the New Zealand record of byes conceded in a career (403) of B-J. Watling.
Daryl Mitchell became the third New Zealand player to score a century and take five or more catches in the same Test. This figure excludes wicket-keepers. The other players were Kane Williamson (vs. Sri Lanka at Colombo PSS in 2012-13) and Tom Latham (vs. Bangladesh at Christchurch in 2021-22 when Tom Blundell was the named wicket-keeper).
England's first innings 354 is their joint-ninth lowest, completed total which included a 175-run or more partnership. Their lowest is 248 against Pakistan at Lahore in 2005-06. England's other total of 354 was against Pakistan, also at Trent Bridge, in 2010.
After announcing his international retirement during the match, Ben Stokes finished his career with 7273 runs and 252 wickets making him statistically the second-most successful Test all-rounder of all time behind only Jacques Kallis (13289 runs and 292 wickets).
Stokes's 115 catches place him sixth in the all-time list of England fielders whilst his 122 Tests make him England's sixth most capped player.
Stokes's last innings was his third as opener but his 30 was his lowest innings in that position - and the first time he had been dismissed - having made fifties in his other two innings, both against West Indies. At Old Trafford in 2020, he made an unbeaten 78 and at Edgbaston in 2024 an unbeaten 57.
Stokes's highest Test score (258 vs. South Africa at Cape Town in 2015-16) is also England's highest score at number 6.
Stokes, though, finish his career with most dismissals bowled for England(45), one ahead of Stuart Broad.
For the second time in his career, Jamie Smith scored a fifty and took six catches in the same Test. He did so against India at Lord's in 2025.
Zak Foulkes became New Zealand's first concussion substitute when he replaced Blair Tickner.
Foulkes produced the best match analysis (6-87) by a substitute surpassing Kasun Rajitha's 4-60 (in one innings only) for Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh at Chattogram in 2022.
Joe Root's run out in the second innings was his first such dismissal since January 2021 against Sri Lanka in Galle. His last run out in a Test in England was in July 2020 against West Indies at Old Trafford.
Nathan Smith's 16 wickets is the joint-fourth best in a three-Test series for New Zealand against England. Sir Richard Hadlee's 19 in 1986 and Jack Cowie in 1937 lead the way.
New Zealand's series win is their fourth in England.
New Zealand became the first team to come from behind to win a three-Test series in England. Other occasions of England winning the deciding Third Test after losing the first Test in a series were against Australia in 1888; West Indies in 2020 and South Africa in 2022.
