New Zealand vs England 1st Test

The recently-concluded five-match T20I series saw some close encounters between the two World Cup finalists. Eventually, the visitors held their nerves and came out on top in the series-deciding super-over to pocket the T20Is 3-2. To prepare for the two Test matches against the hosts, the English team played a two-day tour game against New Zealand XI and a three-day practice game against New Zealand A. The England batters made full use of the opportunity as they batted their way to 376-2 declared and 405 in their two innings. The bowlers also had a great outing on the field as they reduced New Zealand A to 169-8 in their second innings of the three-day match.
