WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand has completed a dramatic fightback on the last day to beat England by 1 run in Wellington and become only the fourth team in history to win a cricket test after being forced to follow-on. On a day of constant twists and turns, Joe Root scored 95 in a partnership of 121 with Ben Stokes (33) which appeared to have batted England to victory and a 2-0 win in the two-test series. When they were both out with 56 runs needed, Ben Foakes made 35 but he was out with England still needing seven runs. James Anderson clubbed a four to cut the deficit to two runs but then was out.
