England beat New Zealand by 267 runs in first Test at Mount Maunganui

Mount Maunganui: England have continued their remarkable recent run under new coach Brendon McCullum by claiming an impressive 267-run victory over New Zealand in the first Test at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand on Sunday.

It was the first time England have won a Test on New Zealand soil for almost 15 years. It means England have now won 10 of their most



recent 11 Test matches, since McCullum took over as coach early last year.

It has helped England move up to third place on the MRF Tyres Men's Test Team Rankings behind only ICC World Test Championship leaders Australia and India.

The second Test commences in Wellington on February 25.
