After 15 years, England won the Test on New Zealand soil

New Zealand had to do the impossible to win the Mount Manganui Test. However, nothing like that happened on Sunday, the fourth day of the Test. New Zealand were bowled out for 126 in the first session of the day by James Anderson.

England won by a big margin of 267 runs. As a result, the visitors tasted a Test win on Kiwi soil after 15 years. Before this, England last won a Test in New Zealand in 2008. And England won 10 of the 11 Tests played under coach Brandon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.

On the fourth day of the New Zealand-England first test, it was almost certain who was going to win this test. In this way, to chase the target of 394 runs, New Zealand had to make a record. Because, in Test cricket till date, only six teams have won with a target above 390 runs. And no team could win by chasing more than 345 runs on New Zealand soil.

New Zealand had to do something miraculous to save the match. Nothing miraculous happened today on day four of the Mt Manganui Test. The Kiwis could not even put up a minimal fight. New Zealand were bowled out for 126 in the first session of the fourth day by James Anderson. The hosts lost against England by a big margin of 267 runs.

Broad bowled 4 of New Zealand's first 5 batsmen. This time Anderson hunted the last 4 wickets. In this Test, Broad-Anderson set the record for the most successful bowling pair in Test history, surpassing the pair of McGrath-Warne.

 
Anderson took 4 of New Zealand's 5 wickets on the fourth day. Darryl Mitchell was the only batsman for the hosts. He was unbeaten on 57 runs.
 
Jack Leach took the first wicket of the day at Mt Manganu on Sunday, but it was Anderson who put the real ball on the Kiwis. Among the Kiwi batsmen, if Darryl Mitchell did not put up some resistance, they might not have been able to cross 100 runs in the fourth innings. Mitchell's unbeaten 57 only narrowed the gap.
Earlier, England declared their innings for 325 runs in their first innings and New Zealand scored 306 runs thanks to Tom Blundell's 138 runs. In the second innings, England again batted with their baseball strategy and scored 374 runs, and the Kiwis had a target of 394 runs. But the Saudi team could not do that.

Cricket lovers have witnessed several records in this test match. The highest six in international Test cricket has now changed hands. England captain Ben Stokes now owns the highest number of sixes in Tests with 109 sixes. Meanwhile, Anderson and Broad became the second pair after McGrath and Warne to take 1000 wickets in Tests
