New Zealand pulled off a remarkable one-run win over England on Tuesday as lionhearted paceman Neil Wagner's heroics saw the hosts become just the fourth side in test history to claim victory after being asked to follow on.
Enter Wagner, who had bled more than eight runs an over in the third innings when England romped to a 267-run win in the series-opener at Mount Maunganui.
The unfazed Wagner came again and had Anderson caught down the leg side for four to trigger jubilation among his team mates and the home fans in the crowd. They also handed England only their second defeat in 12 tests since Stokes and head coach Brendon 'Baz' McCullum unleashed the team's attacking 'Bazball' revolution last year.
England pushed past 200 but the momentum shifted again as Stokes threw the bat at a Wagner bouncer and top-edged to square leg where Tom Latham took the catch. Foakes and Leach carried England to within seven runs but Foakes pulled captain Tim Southee to fine leg where a scrambling Wagner took a low catch on his knees, leaving the tailenders exposed.
