Man of the Match
Devon Conway
Commentry
That's it from this game, New Zealand have taken a 1-0 lead in the series. The next game is played on Sunday. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Devon Conway!
England on the other hand, were quite erratic with the ball at the start and that meant they were always chasing the game. They needed wickets at regular internals but that did not come. In the end, it seemed like they were ateast 20 runs short of what could have been a winning score.
A clinical show then with the bat from the visitors and they have won three in a row in this tour. The openers set the tone, Conway was the key. He lost a couple of partners but found an able support in Mitchell. Both scored brilliant tons to take their side over the line.
