Another great historical sporting coincidence has been ended by England’s bedwetting in New Zealand

Australia are no longer the only country to lose a Test match after enforcing the follow-on.

That New Zealand-England was so good it was simultaneously only the fourth time a team has lost a Test match after enforcing the follow-on, the first in 22 years, and only the second time a Test match has been decided by 1 run, joining the Australia vs West Indies Test in Adelaide in 1993.

Funnily enough, both Test matches decided by 1 run (Adelaide 1993 & Wellington 2023) ended with the exact same method of dismissal…
