Pope & Root Put England On Path To 3-0 Clean Sweep Against NZ; Need 113 Runs To Win 3rd Test

By IANS News June 27, 2022 • 00:55 AM View: 2332

A century partnership between Daryl Mitchell (56) and Tom Blundell (88 not out) rescued New Zealand but England were cruising towards a clean sweep in the three-match series, needing 113 runs to win the third Test with eight wickets in hand.

With England needing 296 runs to win the Test, the hosts rode an unfinished partnership of 132-run between Ollie Pope (81 not out) and former skipper Joe Root (55 not out) to reach 183/2 in 39 overs at stumps on the fourth day of the match.
