New Zealand’s decision to bowl did not go as planned, as Ben Stokes’ historic knock took the hosts to 368. He had the support of opener Dawid Malan, who also scored a half-century.

Pacer Trent Boult starred with the ball for New Zealand as he returned with figures of 5-51 in 10 overs.

The Kiwis put on a hapless performance with the bat and got dismissed for 187 in 39 overs. Glenn Phillips was the only batter to provide some resistance to England bowlers.

He scored 72 from 76 deliveries with five fours and two sixes to his name.
