But the New Zealand government takes climate change seriously, and last year released its first emissions reductions plan to meet a goal of net zero emissions by 2050. Renwick, from Victoria University, said an obvious solution would be to move people away from coastlines and rivers that are risk of more frequent flooding. “The whole area is usually very dry and very close to drought this time of year. New Zealand lies in the South Pacific Ocean, and is vulnerable to tropical cyclones that typically form in the north but can affect any part of the country in their path. “I don’t think there’s any part of New Zealand that isn’t at risk of extreme rainfall,” he said. “New Zealand is very good at building communities on floodplains – there’s a large fraction of the population that live close to rivers that tend to flood,” Renwick said.

New Zealand's capital Wellington was swayed by a strong earthquake Wednesday, with residents reporting feeling a sudden jolt and buildings quivering.

And yet, the startling speed of Duckett's and Brook's innings were such that England had already posted more runs in two sessions than most teams would usually ...

If there is occasionally a sense that England are in danger of over-reaching themselves with this bold new attitude, it had been heightened one over prior to Root's dismissal, when Ollie Pope - quietly in control of his own tempo on 42 from 65 balls - was undone by arguably the first spell of sustained pressure that New Zealand managed all day. Instead, having posted a 36-ball fifty - the fastest by an England Test opener - he climbed through one too many drives and picked out Michael Bracewell in the covers to hand Tickner his maiden wicket. A remarkable 62 of Brook's runs came in boundaries - 14 fours, the majority scorched through point, and one towering six down the ground off Tim Southee as he turned on the style late in the session, with the floodlights beginning to kick in. And though both men endured some rough treatment, most particularly from Duckett in the first session and Brook in the second, they also chipped in with a maiden wicket apiece as England's attacking ambitions got the better of a succession of free-flowing batters. England by that stage had romped along to a typically freestyle 325 for 9, at a rate of 5.77 an over, and with arguably only Ollie Pope the victim of anything that could conventionally be described as old-school bowling "pressure". Ollie Robinson - already regarded by his team-mates as the equal of his seniors James Anderson and Stuart Broad - wasn't kept waiting long to live up to his heightened status.

His partnership with wicketkeeper Ben Foakes (38) ensured England racked up another 145 runs in the second session, smacking down the hosts after they had rallied with three wickets. The 23-year-old Yorkshireman has now racked up an astonishing 569 runs, including three centuries, in his seven innings in test cricket. Umpire Aleem Dar ignored the lbw appeal but it was confirmed on review. Duckett and Pope got England off to a rollicking start, the tourists smashing 134 in the first session for the loss of only Crawley (4) and Joe Root (14). Quick-fire half-centuries by Ben Duckett (84) and Harry Brook (89) took the wind out of the hosts’ sails and set the platform for a sporting declaration by Ben Stokes. Tim Southee won the toss and sent England in to bat on a green-tinged wicket but the home captain may have rued the call at the end of the night with his team trailing by 288 runs.

New Zealand is still searching for people missing in the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle amid fears the death toll will continue to climb. Five people are.

“I’ve just returned from Gisborne where the damage is extensive and people are in a state of shock. “We can’t continue the way that we have been going.
