England 58 all out: Trevor Bayliss says players like 'deer in headlights'

Moeen Ali was one of five England players to make a duck in the collapse

England players were like "deer in the headlights" as they were bowled out for 58 by New Zealand in the opening Test, says head coach Trevor Bayliss.

In their first Test match since losing the Ashes 4-0 in Australia, England slipped to 27-9 before being dismissed in 20.4 overs at Eden Park, Auckland.

The sensational collapse was England's sixth lowest total in Test history.

"We were nowhere near good enough. New Zealand bowled well but we batted equally badly," said Bayliss.

"It was like deer in the headlights. Someone sneezes and everyone caught a cold today."

At one point England had looked on course for their lowest-ever Test total and to break a record that had stood for over 131 years.

Somerset bowler Craig Overton saved England from that ignominy with an unbeaten 33 as only he and opener Mark Stoneman (11) made double figures.

Left-arm seamer Trent Boult took 6-32 and new-ball partner Tim Southee 4-25 as five batsmen made ducks, equalling an England record.

"It swung around a bit but nothing different to any other first day of a Test match," said Bayliss.

"The ball was pitched up and swinging and we were caught behind the crease for a lot of dismissals. Trying to get forward and negate the swing would have been the way to go."

New Zealand had reached 175-3 by the close, with Kane Williamson 91 not out.

How the collapse unfolded

• 6-1: Cook c Latham b Boult 5 - no foot movement and edges outswinger to second slip

• 6-2: Root b Boult 0 - captain has his off stump knocked back as he attempts to drive one that swings back between bat and pad

• 16-3: Malan c Watling b Boult 2 - drawn forward and Watling takes fine diving catch in front of first slip

• 18-4: Stoneman c Watling b Southee 11 - another batsman not moving his feet, another edge to Watling

• 18-5: Stokes b Boult 0 - playing his first Test since September 2017, Stokes is cleaned up by a fine delivery that clips the top of off stump

• 18-6: Bairstow c&b Southee 0 - driving on the up and smartly taken in Southee's follow-through

• 23-7: Woakes b Boult 5 - forward defensive, played on the walk, and is beaten all ends up by another inswinger

• 23-8: Moeen b Southee 0 - a third batsman of the innings is bowled, Moeen inexplicably missing a low full toss

• 27-9: Broad c Williamson b Southee 0 - captain takes sensational one-handed catch, diving high to his left at gully, as Broad departs with wry smile

• 58 all out: Anderson c Nicholls b Boult 1 - fends short ball to gully

'Players will feel utterly embarrassed'

Analysis by former England spinner Graeme Swann on BBC Test Match Special

The players will feel utterly embarrassed by their performance today. Sometimes it just goes horribly wrong and there's nothing you can do about it.

It was a horrific day from start to finish. New Zealand bowled well but England's technique has been found wanting.

They didn't get out of their crease and they didn't cover their stumps.

In all of my time playing and watching cricket I've never quite witnessed anything like this morning. The first few overs passed without any incident and then it was just a snowball of England wickets.

How's stat?!

• This was England's lowest Test total versus New Zealand, eclipsing the 64 they made at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in 1977/78.

• England faced just 124 balls in their innings - the 16th shortest innings in the history of Test cricket.

• The total was England's sixth lowest in Test cricket and the joint 32nd lowest of all Test-playing nations.

• Craig Overton's 33 not out meant he scored 56.9% of England's total.
