Analysis
The last time the sides met before the ongoing series was in Hamilton in November 2019, in the 2nd match of a two-match series on England’s tour of New Zealand. In that game, the hosts batted first and were bowled out for 375. Opener Latham scored a ton and was assisted by Taylor, Watling and Mitchell, all of whom got fifties. For England, Broad (4/73) was the most impressive bowler, while Chris Woakes (3/83), Sam Curran (2/63) and Jofra Archer (1/75) were the other wicket-takers.
England replied with 476, largely owing to the innings of 101 by Burns and 226 by Root. Wagner took 5/124, while Southee returned figures of 2/90. The visitors tried to capitalise on the handy 101-run lead in the first innings. But despite getting a couple of early wickets to leave New Zealand reeling at 28/2, they were unable to force the issue, thanks largely to tons by Williamson and Taylor. England’s cause was not helped by a rain intervention. The match ended in a draw and New Zealand finished with 241/2 in their second knock. New Zealand won the series thanks to a dominant innings win in the previous Test.
