With 5 wickets in hand, England easily chased down the total. At one point, however, it seemed that the visiting team had the upper hand. New Zealand's dream is shattered by a solid partnership between Root and new wicket-keeper batsmen Ben Foakes. In this series there are still two matches to be played, so it may be possible to restore balance soon. It would be nice if England won to silence New Zealand.

Test cricket can defiantly revive if we have interesting test matches like this where 20 wickets fell on one single day. From New zeland side only Mitchel and Tom Blundell were the two batsmen who score runs rest of the batting line up collapsed in both teams. Result of the match would be in favor of New zeland if they have lead of 50 more runs.
