NOTTINGHAM, England \u2014 Harry Brook made an unbeaten half-century for England but New Zealand was on top at lunch on Day 3 of the third and final test after taking four wickets in the morning session on Saturday.<\/p>

Brook was 51 not out and Gus Atkinson unbeaten on 8 as the home team reached the interval on 314-6 at Trent Bridge, replying to New Zealand\u2019s first-innings 438.<\/p>\n

Resuming on 223-2, England lost its first wicket when Joe Root was trapped lbw for 21 by an inswinging delivery from Nathan Smith.<\/p>\n

Jacob Bethell followed soon after, caught at second slip by New Zealand captain Tom Latham off Will O\u2019Rourke\u2019s bowling for 74.<\/p>\n

Jamie Smith did not last long, snapped up low down at first slip by Daryl Mitchell off namesake Smith with his score on 1.<\/p>

Ben Stokes<\/a> was then dropped on 1 by Devon Conway, a difficult low chance as he dived to his right off the dangerous Smith.<\/p>\n

But Stokes, back in the team along with Atkinson after they were dropped<\/a> for the second test for disciplinary reasons, was eventually removed for 15. Zak Foulkes, a concussion substitute for Blair Tickner, claimed the wicket of the England captain with another sharp inswinging delivery.<\/p>\n

Atkinson then survived an lbw appeal just before lunch when a DRS review showed the ball was going over the stumps. Smith has figures of 3-85 and O\u2019Rourke 2-49.<\/p>\n

Latham (151) and Devon Conway (157) were the stars of the show with a huge 317-run partnership for the first wicket<\/a> in New Zealand\u2019s first innings.<\/p>
