England beats Kiwis, sweeps series


Team England which was dominating since the 1st test clean New Zealand in the three-match test series. Ben Stokes-led team registered an aggressive seven-wicket victory in the third and final test on Monday.

After the first session was washed out due to rain on the final day, Team England scored 296/3 in the middle session after resuming on 183/2.
Ben Stokes, England captain, said, It’s gone really well. To walk away with 3-0 series win over the best team in the world is a special start. When I took over this job, it was about changing the mindset of the guys towards Test cricket, was about having fun. Huge amount of credit to Brendon (McCullum) and the backroom staff. Trent Bridge was fantastic. Being 55/6 and to do what we did the manner we did (here), that was something special. Pottsy has taken it like fish to water. This game, he’s been incredible. Broady, even at 36, bowled 50 overs this week. I wanted to push the lads to see what they were capable. Fantastic to see Leachy taking 10 wickets. I have never seen a happier dressing room for an individual’s success. Different opposition (India), we still have a series to draw. We’ll come out with exactly the same mindset.
