England tour of New Zealand, 3rd Test: New Zealand vs England at Auckland, Mar 22-26, 2013


What a Test match this has been! Absolutely remarkable.

Matt Prior turned out to be the hero for England. So, the 

match is drawn & the trophy will be shared as the series is 

also drawn 0-0 (3 match series).



Prior 110* (182) | Broad 6 (77) | Bell 75 (271) | Kane 4/44


Matt Prior said: 
I am not really one to celebrate draws but this was a phenomenal effort. First innings was disappointing. To get to the line is unbelievable. We had to bat 90 overs, the wicket was good, only going to get slower, you don't want to be blocking everything, you want to play your shots. Broad and I have had some good partnerships in the past and we know how to get each other coming. He has worked hard with Andy Flower on his batting and this shows that has paid off. I backed Monty all the way. You want to stay relaxed, but it is hard to."
