For the second time in three days England donned their pyjamas and calmly put New Zealand to bed. Afterand Harry Brook powered the home side to a daunting total of 198 for four the bowlers savaged the visitors’ batting order, Gus Atkinson taking four wickets including three in the night’s final over. Halfway through their reply New Zealand were 77 for five and their task was already forlorn; less than four overs later the game was over, England winning by 95 runs.
His partnership with Bairstow was match-defining, worth 131 off 64. Bairstow’s was an innings of three thirds, featuring a slow start – he scored 26 off his first 28 balls – and a pedestrian end of 13 off 13. In between he scored 51 off 19, a period when he and Brook were virtually unplayable. “We were just batting,” Brook said.
