:Neil Wagner took four wickets and held two crucial catches as New Zealand pulled off a 'Mission Improbable' by beating England by one run in the second test on a nerve-jangling day five after being made to follow on.
Enter Wagner, who had both out slogging then nervelessly held catches in the deep to help remove Stuart Broad and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes for 35. "It's a special one this and we'll celebrate it well," said Wagner, who finished with 4-62 in the fourth innings. Though Root and Stokes were culpable in their dismissals, the pair deserved enormous credit for steadying the chase after four wickets fell quickly.
Broad tried to slog his team over the line but ramped Matt Henry straight to Wagner at third man to be out for 11.
