Bayliss blasts abject England for 58 all out

England coach Trevor Bayliss was left "embarrassed" on Thursday by his side's collapse to 58 all out against New Zealand that left him struggling for answers.

"It was a very poor effort today, it just simply wasn't good enough," Bayliss said at the end of one of the worst days in England Test history.

It was their sixth lowest Test score and only 33 not out by No.9 batsman Craig Overton ensured they passed the world record lowest innings of 26 set by New Zealand in 1955. England had been 8-23, and the 9-27 before a final-wicket stand.

At stumps the Black Caps, seemingly untroubled by the conditions in the first day-night Test in New Zealand, were firmly in command at 3-175, a lead of 117 runs with seven wickets in hand.

"We've got the best team from England we can pick here," Bayliss said, admitting he was "hurt" by the performance.

"We've got to sit down and have a good chat about it. Is it a mental approach? Is it something in our preparation?

"Are we good enough at working out how to actually play when we do lose one or two early wickets?

"Embarrassed? Certainly, and I probably wasn't the only one in our change room. It's certainly not good enough."

New Zealand only needed two bowlers, Trent Boult – who finished with a career best 6-32 – and Tim Southee, who took 4-25, in an innings that lasted just 20.4 overs.

But Bayliss said that while New Zealand performed well with the ball, he believed the problem lay with the England batters.

"I thought the New Zealand bowlers bowled extremely well and we batted equally as badly," he said.

"I thought we made a lot of mistakes with our footwork. The ball was swinging a little bit but when the ball's pitched up it's as simple as it gets and a lot of our guys were out today playing from behind the crease to fairly full balls.

"Someone sneezes and the rest of the guys catch a bit of a cold.

"Then everyone was making the same types of mistakes: the feet not moving properly, decision-making not as it normally is."

Apart from Overton, opener Mark Stoneman's 11 was the only other England score in double figures, while captain Joe Root led a parade of five players out for a duck.

New Zealand's batting was far more solid with Kane Williamson not out 91 at stumps while Tom Latham, Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls all made it into the twenties.
