The English cricket team toured New Zealand from 4 February to 26 March 2013, their first tour of New Zealand since 2008.[1] The tour consisted of three Twenty20 International matches, three One Day Internationals and three Test matches; the Test series saw the teams contest the Astle–Atherton Trophy for the first time. No man of the match awards were given in the T20I or ODI series, with prize money being given to charity instead.
On the fifth day of the 3rd Test, Stuart Broad set a new record for the longest time spent at the crease without scoring a run, with 103 minutes out in the middle. The previous record was 101 minutes, set by New Zealander Geoff Allott against South Africa in 1999.[2]
Ross Taylor scored his 7th ODI century when he scored 100 in the 2nd ODI.
