New Zealand produced one of the most thrilling performances with the ball in Test cricket in recent times as they beat England by just one run in the 2nd Test on February 28. Starting the day at 48/1 and needing to achieve a target of 258 runs, England were hit early when both overnight batters Ollie Robinson and Ben Duckett fell in quick succession. Ollie Pope soon departed too as wickets continued to tumble. One of the biggest moments of the innings was when the in-form Harry Brook was run out for a duck without facing a delivery. At 80/5, England looked in real trouble when former captain Joe Root stepped up along with current skipper Ben Stokes with the two stitching a 121-run partnership. But New Zealand fought back hard, breaking the stand and dismissing both the set batters to leave England reeling again. The most memorable phase of play was when James Anderson hit a four with England needing seven runs with one wicket in hand and was later dismissed by Neil Wagner. New Zealand Beat England by 1 Run in Thrilling Second Test Match, Level Two-Match Series 1–1.
