Root, who ended 115 not out, also became the second England batter after Sir Alastair Cook to reach 10,000 Test runs as new England men's Head Coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes made a winning start.
From 216-5 overnight, 61 short of their target of 277, the home side were taken to victory by Root's unbeaten sixth-wicket stand of 120 with Ben Foakes, who made 32 not out.

The second match in the three-Test series begins at Trent Bridge on Friday.
