England Wins Test Series Against New Zealand

England secured a historic Test series victory over New Zealand with a commanding 323-run win in the second Test at Wellington, marking their first series triumph in New Zealand since 2008. Harry Brook was the standout performer, scoring a remarkable 123 runs off just 115 balls, helping to turn the tide after England found themselves struggling at 43-4 on the first day. Captain Ben Stokes praised Brook's 'unbelievable bravery' and highlighted the pivotal 174-run partnership between Brook and Ollie Pope as crucial for their success. Gus Atkinson also made headlines by achieving England's first Test hat-trick in seven years. This victory boosts England's confidence after a challenging past two years in away matches, with Stokes achieving his 19th win as captain, surpassing legendary figures in win percentage. The final Test of the series will take place next week in Hamilton.
