\"NeilNew Zealand will take a long time to forget the 2019 ICC World Cup final<\/a> against England which they should have won but ended up losing due to some controversial laws. <\/p>\n

The Kiwis had a chance to get revenge in a test series facing England at home and they did just that by pulling of a tremendous win in the first test at Mount Maunganui.<\/p>\n

England batted first and did pretty well for themselves as a lot of batsmen got starts but did not kick on to make a big score.<\/p>\n

Rory Burns<\/strong> (52<\/em>), Joe Denly<\/strong> (74<\/em>) and Jos Buttler<\/strong> (43<\/em>) made useful contributions but it was Ben Stokes<\/strong> (91<\/em>) who once again proved to be a pain for the Kiwis. <\/p>\n

England made a respectable 353 and took charge of the game by taking 4 quick wickets to have the Kiwis struggling at 127-4. However, a great partnership by wicketkeeper BJ Watling<\/strong> and Mitchell Santner<\/strong> took the game away from England. Watling went on to score an impressive double century (205) while Santner finished on 126 to take New Zealand\u2019s first innings score to 615 and give them a sizeable first innings lead.<\/p>\n
