England had to settle for a second draw on the bounce in New Zealand, as the weather got in the way in Wellington. After forcing the follow on, the home side had reached 162-2 in their second innings, and looked well set on a pitch offering less assistance as the match wore on....
However, it was the clouds above that had the deciding factor as the three match series now headed to Auckland for a one off game, with the opening two games ending a draw..
