The beauty of the rare three-test series for the Black Caps. Think back to the New Zealand summer when the Black Caps lost the opening test to Bangladesh and there went their chance of a series win. Also worth noting, in an almost 12-month long hangover, the Black Caps have now lost four of their seven tests since claiming the World Test Championship title. What does history sayThe Black Caps have played nine tests in Nottingham, going back to 1969, and have just one victory coming in 1986. The Black Caps were then bowled out for 123 with a 40 at the top of the order by Jamie How the only highlight - James Anderson dismissed New Zealand's top seven batsmen to finish with 7-43.
