England Won The Series 🔥

Leach, Bairstow propel England to complete whitewash over New Zealand



LEEDS: England’s spinner Jack Leach shone with two five-fers before the right-handed batter shone with a century and a half-century to power the home side to complete the clean sweep over New Zealand.


Set to chase 296 in the third and final Test, the English batters displayed brilliance as they sealed a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over the touring side.


In the run chase, the hosts had an unwanted start as they lost their opener, Alex Lees, cheaply, who walked back to the pavilion following a mix-up between the wickets after scoring a mere nine.


Zack Crawley then ran into the newly-joined Ollie Pope and added 34 runs for the second wicket before the former, who is struggling to score big, as he fell into the touring side’s plan after scoring 25.


With the home side struggling at 51-2, Pope and Joe Root then anchored the run chase as they put on a brilliant show of sheer resilience and dominance. The pair batted for more than 26 overs; both scoring fifties and added 134 runs to the team’s total before the conclusion of Day 4.
