The second day of the third men's Test between England and New Zealand unfolds at Trent Bridge, where players contend not only with the match but also with soaring temperatures expected to reach the mid-30s Celsius. Fans and commentators alike feel the heat, with local journalist Will Unwin urging attendees to share their experiences from the crowd.

Yesterday’s play showcased significant performances, particularly from Devon Conway and Tom Latham, whose partnership marked the first 300-plus effort by a touring side since Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis achieved the feat at the Oval 14 years ago. This historic achievement adds pressure on Ben Stokes's team as they return to the field.

As the day begins, England celebrates breaking the monstrous opening stand, successfully navigating through New Zealand’s top four batsmen. However, the challenge remains, as Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell take to the crease, with little history of large partnerships against England, providing a glimmer of hope for the home side.

The action resumes at 11am BST, with fans eager to see how the heat and pressure affect both teams' performances. Stay tuned for updates as the match progresses.
