New Zealand vs England: Neil Wagner the hero as Black Caps ... (Sky Sports)

England slumped to 80-5 chasing 258 for victory on the final day at Wellingtons Basin Reserve, but a sixth-wicket stand of 121 between Joe Root and Ben ...

Chasing 250 in the last innings is something we'd never worry about, but you've got to give credit to New Zealand." It was only the second loss England have suffered since captain Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum took charge of the red ball team as well. England's next Test match is against Ireland at Lord's, starting on Thursday, June 1. That seemed to have slightly swung the match back in England's favour. It was Neil Wagner's 4-62 which proved to be decisive in swinging the match in favour of New Zealand, and it was the seamer who claimed the vital final wicket of James Anderson to prevent the last man in for England becoming an unlikely batting hero, securing a win by the barest of margins and ensuring the series finished level at 1-1. New Zealand became only the fourth team in Test history to win a match after being made to follow on as they snatched a dramatic one-run win over England on the final day of the second Test in Wellington.

"No better game in the world than Test cricket. "What a test match," wrote Ashwin before quickly drawing similarities with the Madras Test. The Test match had shades of the famous tied game between India and Australia in Chennai in 1986. And of course, the Wellington 2023 Test match also joined the historic list of victories after being asked to follow on. It was a morning to remember for Test lovers across the globe. They spent their Tuesday morning watching New Zealand register a dramatic, thrilling, one-for-the-ages, come-from-behind 1-run victory in the second Test against England.

Manages to get a good chunk on it and gets it past mid-on for a four. 73.4 Southee to Jack Leach, no run, and that's the second short ball of the over. 72.5 Wagner to Anderson, no run, that was aimed to behead the batter, Anderson looked away but managed to tap it down to give no chance to the man at FSL. Just a faint tickle off the bat down leg and the keeper dived to his right to take it. 73.5 Southee to Jack Leach, no run, and the man at mid-on dived for his life there. You live by the sword and you die by it as well. That's the characteristics of this team, keep learning to fight for each other and find a way by doing the hard yards. Foakes got his act together and got them to the brink but he fell to a short ball as Southee gave his team one final chance. To fight away, to complete and ultimately just get across the line is a nice feeling. Trying to take one game at a time at the moment. It was a case of assessing the situations, we always knew that at some point in that partnership (between himself and Root), Tim was gonna have to roll the dice with something. With those bouncer plans, we had to make a decision and obviously it didn't come off for us.

But the Kiwis came back to pull one from out of nowhere. had it been a Jaffa to get a number 11 who has publically disapproved of batting, it wouldn’t have been this ‘got hit in the balls’ kind of funny🤌💕— Gaurav Nandan Tripathi 🜃 (@Cric_Beyond_Ent) Not easy to fight back that well and pull it back from the brink. [#NZvENG] [February 28, 2023] [#NZvENG] [February 28, 2023] [February 28, 2023] This time it was England.— Anil Kumar Sindhu (@Dr_Anilsindhu) It seems that this game always show the place to whoever feel overconfident. If anyone wanted proof that Test cricket was very much alive, this was it. The most famous one was of course India's epic win vs Australia in 2001 when they came back from a 274-run deficit to win by 171 runs. Being asked to follow on, New Zealand fought back with 483. At one point it did not even appear that New Zealand would save the game, let alone win it. Chasing a target of 258, England fell short by the narrowest of margins and lost by 1 run.
