====New Zealand v England, Wellington, 2023==== New Zealand became only the third team in history to win a Test after following on, winning by one run after wrestling the game away from England on a dramatic final day in Wellington. Neil Wagner was the catalyst with a short-ball assault during the afternoon session, and he capped the comeback by taking the final wicket amid rising tension at Basin Reserve. England declared at 435/8 in their first innings with [[Joe Root]] and [[Harry Brook]] scoring 150+ each. New Zealand's first innings ended at 209 with a rear guard action from [[Tom Blundell]] and Captain [[Tim Southee]] limiting the damage to a 226 run deficit. Following on, New Zealand scored a mammoth 483 in 162 overs, with 4 half-centuries and a [[Kane Williamson]] 132, leaving England with a target of 258. England had trouble putting together a significant partnership, and when [[Ben Foakes]] departed at 251/9, the tailenders [[Jack Leach]] and [[James Anderson (cricketer)|James Anderson]] could only add 5 more runs before Anderson glanced a leg side delivery through to the keeper to lose the game. Controversially, the ball prior should have been called a [[Wide (cricket)|wide]], as a bouncer flew well over the batsman's head, and one run extra could have potentially seen the match end as the third ever [[tied Test]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-new-zealand-2022-23-1322349/new-zealand-vs-england-2nd-test-1322356/match-report|title=New Zealand beat England in one-run thriller, make history by overcoming follow-on|website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>
