The 40-year-old seamer conceded just 4 runs and managed to scalp a couple of huge wickets in the tight spell. The right-arm fast bowler was spot-on with almost every delivery from the go. The veteran pacer ended up taking 4-wickets in the first innings. He missed out on a well-deserved five-wicket haul by just one wicket. However, the fiery spell from James Anderson helped England on the driving seat as the Blackcaps bundled out on the score of 132.
