Southee believes those memories still linger in the minds of the New Zealand players who featured in that test. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you have guys who played in those games, there will probably be a few guys in the New Zealand changing room with that in the back of their mind,\u201d Southee said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something you don\u2019t tend to forget too quickly … It\u2019s always there in the memory bank, so we\u2019ll see how it unfolds.\u201c<\/p>\n
Latham, Conway,<\/a> Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell all played in that match, along with Southee.<\/p>\n Black Caps assistant coach Luke Ronchi dismissed suggestions that events from four years ago would have any bearing on the current contest.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very different team compared to 2022,\u201d Ronchi said. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s different cricket. It\u2019s a different surface. That hasn\u2019t really come into it. It\u2019s four years ago.<\/p>\n \u201cThe boys are being in the moment, understanding what is needed each ball and how they want to go about it. That\u2019s all we can ask of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n The memories did not appear to affect Latham and Conway, whose opening stand set the tone before England capitalised late in the day, taking two wickets with the final two balls of play.<\/p>\n New Zealand won the crucial toss and made the most of the batting conditions<\/a>, with England forced to toil with the ball in extreme heat as temperatures reached the 30s.<\/p>\n Latham\u2019s century was the 17th of his career, moving him level with Martin Crowe on New Zealand\u2019s all-time list.<\/p>\n Only Kane Williamson<\/a> (33) and Ross Taylor (19) have scored more test centuries for New Zealand.<\/p>\n After losing the opening test by 115 runs at Lord\u2019s<\/a>, the Black Caps responded with a comprehensive 254-run win at the Oval<\/a> to level the series.<\/p>\n A series victory would be a significant achievement for New Zealand. <\/p>\n No visiting side has won a test series of three matches or more in England since 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Southee believes those memories still linger in the minds of the New Zealand players who featured in that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":495634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6450,46520,7022,110080,42574,13381,1320,5506,6095,1634,2740,7796,66957,9943,117,111,43,139,69,1118,43209,1963,248118,248117,7187,765,165,46001,19054,17013,102,2963],"class_list":["post-495633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-6450","tag-balance","tag-black","tag-bowling","tag-caps","tag-captain","tag-coach","tag-defeat","tag-engaged","tag-england","tag-former","tag-hangs","tag-ignites","tag-memories","tag-new","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-of","tag-psychological","tag-series","tag-seriesdecider","tag-southee","tag-team","tag-test","tag-their","tag-tim","tag-turned","tag-warfare","tag-with","tag-zealands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
