Summary
Henry Moeran is alongside former England spinner Phil Tufnell & the BBC’s Chief Cricket Reporter Stephan Shemilt for reaction to England victory over New Zealand in the first Test of the series in Christchurch.
Brydon Carse reflects on a match which saw him take 10 wickets overseas, an achievement neither James Anderson nor Stuart Broad have done.
England captain Ben Stokes looks back on the dominant win in the town of his birth.
They also discuss Carse’s work ethic, the confidence debutant Jacob Bethell will take from his half century which got England over the line, and the problems New Zealand will need to put right to bounce back in the second Test.
Live text commentary of England’s Test series against New Zealand is available on the BBC Sport website & app.
