Brook notched up his second century of the series. Joe Root scored his 36th Test ton and Gus Atkinson claimed a hat-trick. These were the highlights of this Test, however, England were clearly the superior side across all departments. They have been superior across the two Tests, in fact. Meanwhile, after winning the Test series by a 3-0 margin back in India, NZ have been humbled in home conditions by England. With one more Test to go, NZ will be looking forward to getting a consolation win in Hamilton. Given the form England are in, it's not at all going to be easy. We'll be back on December 14th with the live coverage of the third Test. Do join us. For now, this is Nikhil signing off on behalf of MS Ramakrishnan, Anurag and Siva. Goodbye!
