England hosted New Zealand for three Tests, a T20 International (T20I), and five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in 2008. Following the draw in the opening Test, England put up a spectacular show against the Black Caps and clinched a six-wicket triumph in Manchester.
In the contest, New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. Ross Taylor notched up an unbeaten 154 and helped New Zealand to amass 381 on the board in the first innings. Anderson grabbed four wickets in the innings and became the leading wicket-taker for England.
Replying to New Zealand, England batters performed horrendously in the first innings and got bundled out on 202. However, under the leadership of Anderson, England bowlers wrapped up New Zealand on 114. Anderson provided the early breakthrough in the form of Aaron Redmond. In England’s emphatic win, the speedster played a huge role with the ball, picking up five wickets.
