That's the end of the game and England wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. New Zealand was never in the game but that is more down to England's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said England proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
