4th ODI: New Zeland Wins the Thriller! Leads the Series!
New Zealand won the 4th ODI thriller by one wicket. The last five overs required 19 runs with 2 wickets in hand. In the 46th over, 5 runs were scored. The new equation was 24 balls and 14 runs, 2 wickets in hand. Collingwood gave just two runs and had Southee run out.
With 18 balls remaining, 12 runs required. Swann bowled a beautiful maiden over containing Gillespie.
12 balls, 12 runs, 1 wicket.
Collingwood gave away 9 runs including a six in the third ball. Mills hit a six over mid wicket that gave a chance to New Zealand.
It is a tense moment as the team needed 3 runs in the last 6 balls, but only one wicket in hand.
Wright had the ball in hand and Mills scored a run in the first ball. The next four balls were contained and no runs were scored by Gillespie. The 5th ball was a base ball stroke, but it hit the non-striker Mills.
Last ball, two runs, 1 wicket. Gillespie connected the ball this time and ran for a single. An attempt was made to run out, but no one was backing up and the pair completed the winning run. Celebrations in New Zealand camp!!!

3rd Test: England Win Series in Style! Beat New Zeland by an Innings and 9 Runs!
In the third and final test of the series, New Zealand started with the final test with the hope to level the series. But, it went against them and they lost the series 2-0 with the 1st test drawn.
New Zealand won the toss and put England to bat. Though Vettori's team picked the first 5 top order wickets for 86, Pietersen played an innings of his life. Strauss (37), Cook (6), Vaughan (16), Bell (0), and Collingwood (0) failed miserably giving a bright chance to New Zealand.
But, Pietersen along with Ambrose built the innings slowly and steadily. They both added 161 runs for the 6th wicket. Pietersen got out caught behind of O'Brien for well made 115 off 223 balls with 14 fours. Ambrose fell after adding 15 to the England total. At this stage of the game, New Zealand still had a good chance with England struggling 262 for 7.
On could easily say that it is one of those matches were the bowling team did not put pressure on the tail enders or bwol on the right areas. Broad and Anderson added66 for the 7th wicket in which Broad scored an useful 64. Milis and O'Brien picked 3 and 4 wickets respectively. England finished their 1st innings at 364.
New Zealand batting struggled like England at the beginning losing 6 wickets for 93, but like England, they were not able to bounce back. How top scored with 40. Taylor (21) and Hopkins (15) were the other two digit scorers.
Anderson was in song. The similar dismissal of Redmond and McCullum were master piece. He pitched up and middle stump and left the batsman. Both of them missed the line and the off stump uprooted. He picked all the 6 wickets that fell at the end of Day 2.
On Day 3, Sidebottom picked a wicket and Broad picket 2. Anderson added one more to his tally to finish his figures at 7 for 43 in his 21.3 overs which had 8 maidens.

England forced the follow on with a lead of 241 runs. New Zealand, though did a better job than the first innings, but could not make up the last 9 runs deficit to make England bat again.
McCullum scored 71 and Oram was not out on 50. Flynn scored 49. But all these were not enough to avoid the innings defeat. Sidebottom picked 6 wickets in the 2nd innings, Anderson and Broad picked 2 each.
Anderson was declared man of match; Strauss and Vettori were decalred joint winners of Man of the Series.

2nd Test: England win by 6 Wickets
New Zealand messed up their batting in the second innings, which resulted in England leading the series 1-0. After deciding to bat first, though New Zealand struggled losing 4 wickets for 123 runs. Taylor's briliant 154 helped New Zealand to post a decent total on the board. Mill's added 57 to his part and took New Zealand to 381.
England's first innings was not that great. The first four players 135 runs in total and then no one touched double digit except Broad, who scored a decent 30. Vettori picked 5 wickets. England were all out for 202 giving 179 runs lead to New Zealand.

With the lead of 179 in hand, any team would have tried to add another 200 to 250 and put pressure on the last innings. But, wonderful bowling by Panesar helped England bundle the New Zealand for 114. Panesar picked 6 wickets giving away 37 runs in his 17 over spell which had 5 maiden overs and giveen as the man of the match. JM How was the top scorer for New Zealand with 29.
Chasing 294, England should thank Strauss this time for leading the fight with a wonderful century. The jouney was easy for them and target never looked dangerous. He was supported well by skipper Vaughan (48), Pietersen (42).

Strauss Take England to 1-0 Lead!
Struass century in the 2nd innings gave a victory to England in the 2nd test. Chasing a target of 294, Strauss played sensibly and scored a brilliant century off 186 balls with 12 fours. Skipper Vaughan scored an useful 48 and Kevin Pietersen scored 42. The second wicket partnership of 90 runs between Strauss and Vaughan proved vital for England. Third wicket partnership of 85 also added problems to New Zealand as they were not able to break the partnership.
Panesar who captured 6 wickets in the 2nd innings declard man of the match.

1st Test: England v. New Zealand: Ends in a Draw!
The first test between England and New Zealand played at Lords ended in a draw on the fifth day. Rain played the spoil sport for most of the time. The entire game saw only 284.1 overs all the five days put together as aginst the 444 overs leaving out the 6 overs for side change. There was a shortage of 160 overs which would have given a result.
Jacob Oram scored a quick fire century to help New Zealand go for a draw. Trailing by 42 runs in the 2nd innings, New Zealand were 269 for 6 when the play was called off. At one stage, they were struggling at 115 for 4, but the 137 run partnership betwen Oram and Flynn (and McCullum who got retired hurt) gave hope for New Zealand to go for a draw. He scored 101 in 121 balls with 15 fours and 2 sixes.

England Wins Series!
Losing the first test and struggling at 0-1 in the test series, England bounced back beautifully to win the series 2-1. Their form has not been good in the recent past and this should givem them a good relief, especially winning the series abroad.
Monty Panesar took 6 for 126, his career best figures which helped England to win the test and the series. Sidebottom rocked in the first innings and Panesar did the same in the 2nd innings.
Resuming the day 222 for 5, England struck in the 9th over last ball. Taylor was catught by Collingwood for 74. McCullum was bowled in a gap of 3 over and became the 5th victim of Panesar.
A steady 48 run partnership didn't bother England too much because as they were already breaking partnerships often. Panesar removed Patel through a flight delivery which was swept fine but Broad dived and finished with a splendid catch. He was out for 18.
Vettori gave a simple catch to Ambrose and last batsman to be dismissed was Martin. Sidebottom uprooted the off-stump of Martin with that the wonderful series came to an end along with the Test Career of Stephen Fleming.
A positive for New Zealand was the few runs from Southee. In the first test, he took 5 wickets in the first innings and then scored 77 not out in the second innings. He provided good entertainment towards the end of the innings. He scored 77 off 40 balls with 4 fours and 9 sixes. He hit 5 sixes off Panesar including three sixes in the same over and 2 off Anderson.
