Read our privacy policy England were cruising towards a series-clinching victory in Wellington, where the 36th century of Joe Root’s career left New Zealand facing a heavy defeat in the second Test. An increasingly bedraggled New Zealand then stumbled to 59 for four, Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse sharing the wickets, before Tom Blundell held up the charge. The winning line looked impossibly far but New Zealand would have hoped to improve on their dire first-attempt of 125 all out. Atkinson, who ended New Zealand’s first innings with a hat-trick on Saturday, had Daryl Mitchell caught behind.
