England draws closer to sweeping the series

During a thrilling Day 4 in Wellington, Kane Williamson surpasses Allan Batter's 132 runs to become the Kiwis' all-time leading Test run-scorer. On the final day of the second Test, England must defeat New Zealand by 210 runs to win the match and the series. Ben Duckett (23 not out) and nightwatchman Ollie Robinson (one not out) survived the anxious final overs at the Basin Reserve as England were 48-1 at stumps. After chasing down 277, 299, and 296 in three straight Tests to defeat New Zealand at home last summer, England will be confident in their ability to collect the remaining runs on Day 5.

Williamson helped his team reach 483 all out in their second innings. Tom Blundell also made an important 90, which helped New Zealand set England a victory target of 258 runs in Wellington. Now it all comes down to how England performs with 210 runs between them and a win.
