(Reuters) - New Zealand pulled off a remarkable one-run win over England on Tuesday as lionhearted paceman Neil Wagner's heroics saw the hosts become just the fourth side in test history to claim victory after being asked to follow on.

Wagner took four wickets and two crucial catches at Wellington's Basin Reserve, where the hosts recorded only the second one-run victory in test cricket following West Indies' famous 1993 win in Adelaide.
