England Clinches Test Series Against New Zealand

England secured a commanding 323-run victory over New Zealand in Wellington, clinching their first series win in New Zealand since 2008 with one match still to play. Joe Root scored his 36th Test century, contributing to England's declaration at 427 for six, setting a daunting target of 583 for the hosts. Despite a valiant 115 from Tom Blundell, New Zealand struggled against England's aggressive bowling, collapsing for 259. Ben Stokes starred with the ball, taking three wickets for just five runs to finish off the innings. This win follows an earlier eight-wicket victory in Christchurch, marking England's first away series win in two years. The series victory also revitalizes England's momentum ahead of the upcoming Ashes series.
