In the game against New Zealand, England batters named Jonny Bairstow and Jamie Overton showed some class. Both of them scored an amazing innings to stabilize England in this last Test match of the series.

England was put on to bat in the second innings by New Zealand. The host was 83/6 at some point and it looked like the visitors will easily bowl out them.

Overton gave amazing support to his partner (Jonny Bairstow) but missed out on his well-deserved maiden century in Test cricket.
