New Zealand started the final session 423/5 with the partnership of Kane Williamson and Tom Blundell kept on frustrating the visitors. Just when the contest was turning far away from England, it was Harry Brook that brought them back into this encounter with a majestic wicket of Williamson. Once he was dismissed, wickets kept on tumbling for them and there was no turning back. Jack Leach was the pick of the bowlers for England and bagged a five-wicket haul. Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad, Joe Root, and Harry Brook claimed a wicket a piece.
