New Zealand beat England by just one run in Wellington in a remarkable finish to an incredible Test match.
Set 258 to win, England looked in trouble at 80-5 before recovering to 201-5. Victory looked to have slipped out of their grasp again after Ben Stokes, Joe Root – just five runs short of his second century of the match – and Stuart Broad fell to leave the tourists 215-8.
But Ben Foakes then guided his team to the brink of victory before falling for 35 with England just seven runs short of their target.
Belief was restored yet again as James Anderson hit an unlikely four of Neil Wagner, but Wagner had the last laugh when Anderson edged him down the leg side to Tom Blundell.
