Despite tom blundell

Despite Tom Blundell: England captain Ben Stokes has credited their dominating style of cricket for securing the first Test series win in New Zealand since 2008 with an emphatic 323-run win in the second Test at the Basin Reserve on Sunday.

England have taken an unassailable 2-0 series lead over New Zealand, ahead of the final Test in Hamilton.

Despite Tom Blundell’s valiant hundred (115 off 102), the England bowlers were all over the home side on Day 3 as they got off to a poor start in the chase as Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes ripped through their top-order, leaving Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra walking back to the dugout for single digit scores.
