Covers 107 matches between England and New Zealand from Jun 2004 to Jun 2026 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
Who leads the England vs New Zealand head to head? England do. They have 50 victories and New Zealand 43, from 107 meetings logged between Jun 2004 and Jun 2026. Three ties and 7 Test draws make up most of the rest.
The lead is not even across formats. England are on top in the Test (14-9) and T20I (17-10) columns, but New Zealand have the better of the ODIs at 24-19. The pages below set out the timeline of results, the players who stand out and the matches that ended most one-sidedly.
Format by Format: Who Holds the Edge
England’s Test lead of 14 wins to 9 from 30 matches looks solid, but New Zealand won the last two, by 253 runs at The Oval on 17 Jun 2026 and by 160 runs at Trent Bridge on 25 Jun 2026. The swings in this format are wide. New Zealand beat England by 423 runs at Seddon Park on 14 Dec 2024, in the very next Test after England had won by 323 at the Basin Reserve.
New Zealand’s 24 ODI wins have come from 46 games, and they are on a four-match winning streak, the latest a 2-wicket win in Wellington on 1 Nov 2025. Two ODIs were tied, including the match at Lord’s on 14 Jul 2019 that England won on the super over.
The T20Is favour England, 17 wins to 10, and they have won the last two, most lately by 4 wickets in Colombo on 27 Feb 2026.
