Watch: Matthew Potts' Diving Effort Brings About Tom Latham's Dismissal

In the ongoing second Test of the three-match series between England and New Zealand, the former won the toss and opted to bowl first. Kiwi openers Tom Latham and Will Young saw out the opening spell of James Anderson and Stuart Broad and the duo stitched together a stand of 84 runs. However, Ben Stokes and James Anderson got two wickets in two balls to bring England back right in the contest. Stokes first dismissed Young for 47 on the final delivery of the 21st over.

And then on the first ball of the 22nd over, Anderson got the better of Latham. The left-handed batter scored 26.

Anderson bowled a short of length delivery and Latham was unable to keep the pull shot down, and Matthew Potts took a diving catch at midwicket.
