Coming to bat, Ben Duckett, even though, started raining runs (27 off 18), left along with the other opener, Zak Crawley. Later, debutant Jacob Bethell played a 50-run innings of 37 balls, with eight boundaries and a six, that swiftly guarded the Englishmen towards victory. New Zealand started the day at 155/6 with a slim four-run lead, but England's bowlers quickly wrapped up the innings for 254, with Mitchell's resistance ending after Woakes' sharp catch. Tim Southee's quick cameo added some late excitement. England had a brief scare when Ben Stokes left the field with back stiffness, though he assured fans he'd be ready for the second Test in Wellington. With a 1-0 lead in the series and standout performances from Root, Carse, and Bethell, England look set to maintain their dominance.
