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.
Resuming with 210 runs still needed to reach the victory target of 258, the tourists were left in disarray after being reduced to 80-5 on the back of losing four quick wickets inside the first 10 overs of the day at Basin Reserve
Joe Root and Ben Stokes came together to put on a sixth-wicket stand of 121 which got the chase back on track, but they both fell in the afternoon session soon after each other to leave the tourists seven down with 56 still required.

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.
