Black Caps wicketkeeper on remarkable win

From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 1 March 2023

Workplaces across the country ground to a halt yesterday afternoon as New Zealand edged closer to a remarkable test cricket win over England at Wellington's Basin Reserve.

People were glued to their TVs or the radio as the Black Caps secured a thrilling one-run win when wicketkeeper Tom Blundell dived to his right to cradle a catch, dismissing Jimmy Anderson off the bowling of Neil Wagner.

It was only the second time in test cricket history that a team won by one-run, and just the fourth time a team came back to win after being asked to follow-on and immediately bat again after the first innings.

Black Caps wicketkeeper Tom Blundell spoke to Corin Dann.
