Joe Root had a chance to create history. If Root had scored 75 runs, he would have become the first batsman in the history of Test cricket to complete 2000 runs, but he was out after scoring only one run.

Only Harry Brook faced the New Zealand bowlers bravely for some time. He scored 56 runs playing 71 balls and was the only batsman to score a half-century for the English team. It was thanks to him that England somehow touched the 100-run mark.
Captain Ben Stokes also flopped badly, scoring only 12 runs. In the last 11 Test innings, Stokes has been able to cross the 20-run mark only twice and on both those occasions he scored fifty. Kyle Jamieson wreaked the most havoc for New Zealand, who has taken 4 wickets so far. William O’Rourke and Nathan Smith took two wickets each.
