England dominated the first Test in Mount Maunganui to win by 267 runs with 40-year-old fast bowler James Anderson claiming seven wickets.

England has named an unchanged team for the second Test against New Zealand, starting Friday in Wellington.

After earning a 10th win from 11 Tests under coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, England announced Thursday it would keep faith with the same 11 players as it looks to sweep the series 2-0.
