The English batsmen came to bat in the second innings after scoring a century in the first one but had to face embarrassment after he departed on a diamond duck.
New Zealand’s famous win at the Wellington is the current hot topic in the cricketing world as the hosts registered an unexpected win after playing in a follow-on. NZ became the only 3rd team to win playing a follow-on after England (twice) and India.
The right-handed batsman departed at the non-strikers’ end after Joe Root called him for a run after the ball went towards the gully, Bracewell collected the ball, threw it over to the wicket-keeper Tom Blundell who made no mistakes, and took the stumps off.
