New Zealand have won the first test against England by an innings and 49 runs at Eden Park.

It was the first pink ball test in New Zealand and the hosts bossed the match throughout.
England started their second innings 369 behind and were dismissed for 320.

New Zealand need three wickets in the final session and chipped them away.

At the end they had 18.5 overs to spare.

Craig Overton went lbw to legspinner Todd Astle, after chasing a second chance through the DRS; Neil Wagner, full of energy, got a short lifter onto Chris Woakes and he popped a catch to short leg after a valiant 52, his fourth test half century.

And Jimmy Anderson fell driving a catch to deep mid off from Astle, who finished with three for 39.

England now go to Christchurch's Hagley Oval needing a win to square the two-test series, starting on Friday.

For a time, obdurate defence seemed to have given England a good chance of hanging on for a draw until the last over of the middle session.

Ben Stokes, who had done so well in getting to 66 batting through the first two sessions with staunch defence, tried to upper cut a short ball from seamer Wagner. Tim Southee at point ran back and judged the awkward catch expertly.

Stokes had battled 268 minutes, and faced 188 balls before his mad moment with the interval four balls away.

He had added 83 with Woakes and with the pitch playing well, they looked set to carry England to safety.

New Zealand had 32 overs left in the test to take the last three wickets.

England started the day at 132 for three and simply needing to bat out the day to save the match.

But they weren't good enough and New Zealand were well worth the victory, achieved with threatening dark clouds surrounding the ground.

Trent Boult, nine wickets in the match, took three for 67, Wagner three for 77 and Southee took the other wicket.

It was New Zealand's 10th test win in 102 matches against England. It was also just their second against the English at Eden Park, which is celebrating its 50th test.
