New Zealand beat England today in the 2nd Test match by 8 wickets. With that, they take the series 1-0. This is the Black caps’ 3rd Test Series win in England and the first one since 1999. 

Today England lost their first Test series at home since 2014, when Sri Lanka famously beat them 1-0.

New Zealand’s win is a reflection of their current strength as a Test team. It is remarkable to note that they made 6 changes to the side which played in the first test, including the forced exclusion of their captain and best batsman Kane Williamson.

Kiwis will now be extremely confident going in to the World Test Championship Final which starts this Friday (18th), as they take on India to decide the Test Champions of the World.

With this win, Blackcaps overtook India to become the No.1 test Ranked side in the World
