Bethell Debut 50, Carse's Six-fer Guide England To 8-wicket Win Over NZ In 1st Test
World Test Championship Standing: Jacob Bethell's unbeaten fifty on debut followed by a career-best bowling effort from Brydon Carse (6-42) helped set up an eight-wicket win for England on fourth day of the first Test against New Zealand on Sunday here at Hagley Oval.
England’s eight wicket win helped them to a 1-0 lead in the three game series, and improved their World Test Championship Standing point percentage to 43.75. On the other hand, New Zealand drop their point percentage to 50 percent and their WTC Final qualification chances have taken a severe hit.
Having begun at 155/6 at Hagley Oval, just ahead by four runs on the fourth day of the first Test against England, New Zealand added 99 runs to their overnight total as Carse disrupted host's positive start with the bat in the morning session to bundle them out for 254 in their second innings on Sunday.
