Gutsy win, Caps.
Wagner took 4/62 and Southee, 3/45.
Poms v. Caps. Tests.
Yes, it was a brainfade of the worst order by Stokes - and from a player who had been batting so cautiously. It made no sense. They were 5/201 and apparently cruising to victory at that point. It seemed to unsettle Root, as well - and his wicket followed almost immediately.Donny wrote:Stokes & Foakes should've got the Poms home. Pies4shaw: "Stokes just threw his hand away trying to hit one of those useless Wagner pies into the grandstand."
Player of the Match was the best batsman in the world, Kane Williamson.

NZ have not lost a home Test series since losing to S. Africa in March 2017. But their last three, all since 2022, have been 1-1 draws. Their previous eight, on the way to becoming inaugural World Test Champions, were wins.
