The hosts won the first game at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui by an innings and 65 runs but England held the upper hand for significant periods in the second Test and Root was pleased with the way his side had reacted. He also got significant support from opener Rory Burns, who scored 101, and 21-year-old Ollie Pope as England scored 476, their first score over 400 in a Test in more than a year.“We want to become resilient in these conditions and make sure that we can back up performances like this and become a much harder side to beat and then go on and win games when it gets flat or it gets hard,” Root added.
