NOTTINGHAM, England -- England mopped up New Zealand's tail before lunch on the final day of the first test on Monday to win by an impressive innings and 90 runs. The inexperienced New Zealand side was all out for 226 in its second innings after scoring 251 in the first. England, comfortable on an easy batting wicket, had scored 567-8 when it declared during Sunday's morning session. Phillip DeFreitas took two of the final three New Zealand wickets standing overnight to finish with five wickets in the innings and career-best match figures of 9-165. Graham Gooch was named man of the match for his magnificent 210 that set up England's huge first innings total. n On Friday at Edgbaston, Warwickshire's Brian Lara rewrote the record books when he became the first batsman to score seven centuries in eight first class innings.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
