Massacre at Eden Park: Where does England's 58 sit on the list of lowest Test scores?

March 22, 2018

England's score of 58 at Eden Park today is the 32nd lowest in the history of Test cricket.

New Zealand still holds the record for the lowest score of 26, also at Eden Park way back in 1955.

For a period England looked like they'd file a new entry in the top 10, before some blows from the final pair saw them battle through to 58.
