New Zealand vs England, 1st Test at Mount Maunganui, NZ v ENG, Feb 16 2023 - Match Result

4.05pm: "Don't call it that, you'll upset Baz." Sadly for England's head coach, Bazball continues to be a roaring success. England's winning run extends to six on the bounce, and you can be pretty sure of what the approach will be when these teams rock up in Wellington in a few days' time. Whatever your preferred terminology, it's a heck of a lot of fun to watch. We'll be back for more on Friday. Until then, thanks for your comments. From myself, Miller and Binoy, it's cheerio for now. Bye!

3.55pm: Right, all set for the presentations at the Mount. Harry Brook is Player of the Match: "There was not standout performer, we all contributed especially the bowlers on a docile pitch in the first innings with the sun out. [Second innings attack on Wagner] Think it helped they went bumpers early. It was a good pitch and I stuck to my strengths. The way we've been playing over the last 8-9 months, putting as much pressure on the bowler as we can and hit them off their strengths. Having the most fun, really excited to go out and play like however I want. Was lucky enough to start in Pakistan where I've had a bit of success, then carry it on out here."

New Zealand captain Tim Southee: "Disappointing, but credit to England. Strategically they played it pretty well, we were on the receiving end of a couple of night innings that wasn't ideal. [Toss] Made that decision and thought it was the right one. The way they batted meant they got into a position where they could declare. Probably could have bowled a bit better. Their style presents opportunities but it's about trying to stem the bleeding in between. Broady, that spell last night was pretty impressive, if we'd got through that last night we knew there's not many demons out there. [Next Test] Different challenge at Basin Reserve, we haven't been there in a long time and guys are looking forward to getting back to the red ball."

England's Ben Stokes: "Another great performance. Very clinical with the bat and ball. Look at the attack we've got, with the pink ball under lights we executed as we wanted to. When you've got Anderson and Broad in your attack, you're always going to put the opposition under pressure. Most impressive thing was how we countered everything NZ threw at us. [Targeting opposition] It's just going with what you feel is going to work. There's an opportunity to take wickets [with the short ball] but also score runs, so they took it on. Some days it's not going to work but it came off for us here. [Pink ball] It's a tactical thing around day-night games, looking to bowl with the new ball under lights. The pace we batted allowed us to set it up, inflict some damage under lights and again last night. Pretty blessed to be in charge of this bowling group. We take the scoreboard out of the equation, as long as we're taking ten wickets. Not worrying how many runs we go for. Brooky carrying on from his amazing series in Pakistan, he's a fantastic talent. Senior guys can take credit for allowing these young guys to go out and show what they can do."

3.45pm: It was coming for quite some time... Fifteen years, in fact, since England's last success in a Test match in New Zealand. The damage was of course done last night, and when the hosts shipped three wickets in nine balls this morning, it looked as if it would all finish in a rush. Daryl Mitchell and Blair Tickner hung around for 10.4 overs, adding a few quid more to the bar takings at Bay Oval, but it only added up to a brief delay. Now ten wins out of 11 for England under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, as the Baz bus rolls on

"(Without wanting to prejudge the result….) Who do we think for MotM? I reckon there's quite a few England players you could argue for it - Duckett, Brook, Broad, Robinson?" All outcomes still possible here, Rob L. Just another five sessions of stonewalling from these two and we could get a draw...

So Anderson gets another crack at Tickner

Like the NZ scorecard, this ball has seen better days. Umpires calling for the box of replacements

"Kiran, have NZ failed then in allowing their best minds to work for other countries, eg Vettori and McCullum?" They've only really failed in that regard, Darren Pickerin, by not having a bigger bank balance

James Anderson replaces Leach

Field comes in to prevent one

Here's Kiran: "Aviral, I think NZ do such an amazing job of overachieving given their population and resources, that's why they have some of the best minds in the sport (Crowe, Fleming, McCullum, Vettori). It's hard to sustain, and I personally prefer to give them grace."
