ICC World Test Championship 2025 Standings
Stokes was full of praise for Harry Brook, Ollie Pope and Jacob Bethell at the post-match presser as the batters made an indelible mark on the game after England found themselves struggling at 40/4 on day 1, before Brook smashed a game-changing 123.
“Amazing to be standing here winning the series after being 40 for 4 on day one. The way Harry Brook and Olllie Pope played on day one set up this game for us. Jacob Bethell has certainly shown us what he’s about and shown the world what he’s about,” said Stokes.
Both teams are effectively out of the race to make it to the World Test Championship final in Lord’s, but England’s win meant that they moved to fifth on the table, while New Zealand dropped a place to sixth.
The final Test will be played at Seddon Park in Hamilton, from Saturday, 14 December.
