England vs New Zealand First Test at Hamilton

NZ vs ENG, 1st Test: New Zealand thrash England in first Test

New Zealand scored an emphatic 189-run win over England in the first Test, with fast bowler Kyle Mills taking four wickets to help dismiss the tourists for just 110 in their second innings on the final day in Hamilton.
The hosts declared their second innings at 177 for 9 early in the opening session, setting England an attainable 300 runs for victory from a minimum 81 overs.
However Mills took his four wickets before the lunch break, destroying the England top order and any chance of victory for the tourists, with Chris Martin taking two wickets in one over after lunch to send New Zealand well on their way to a memorable win. It was New Zealand's biggest victory margin in terms of runs against England, surpassing the 83-run win at the Oval in 1999, and was just their eighth Test win in 89 matches against England since they began playing each other in 1930.
The only shining light for England was the performance of paceman Ryan Sidebottom whose four wickets in the first innings and six in the second, including a hat-trick, gave him his first Test match 10-wicket haul.
The second Test of the three-match series begins on March 13 in Wellington, with the final Test in Napier starting on March 22.

England vs New Zealand First Test at Hamilton

Venue

Seddon Park is a Cricket Stadium in Hamilton, 4th largest city in New Zealand and is renowned for its "village green" setting, affording a picnic atmosphere for spectators. It is the second largest proper Cricket Ground in New Zealand. The Stadium was named after the former New Zealand Prime Minister Richard John (King Dick) Seddon. It has also been known as Trust Bank Park, WestpacTrust Park and Westpac Park. In 2006, Westpak Trust Bank NZ decided to end its sponsorship of a number of different sporting events and grounds in New Zealand and the stadium has reverted back to its original name of Seddon Park starting in the 2006/2007 season.
