इंग्लैंड vs न्यूजीलैंड, दूसरा टेस्ट, द ओवल, लंदन, 17 June 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

A short ball, around off, angling in, Jordan Cox pull-helps it towards deep backward square leg. Don't know whether it is an ironic cheer, but the Oval is cheering. Cox does not take a single, understandably. Not a bad time to go all out before the team gets all out?

Proper cheer this time. On a length, outside off, Cox punches this on the up through the covers and gets a couple.

Full and straight, Jordan works it through mid-wicket, thinks about running, but then realizes that he won't get a couple there. Sends Baker back.

An in-angler on a good length, on off. Jordan Cox stands tall to punch it away, but the ball cuts in and that ekes a thick inside edge to square leg.

Short of a good length, outside off. Jordan walks across the stumps and steers it to deep backward square leg for a single.

Oh, almost! Baker almost got toasted. But he survives. Kyle bends his back to hit the hard length, around the imaginary fourth stump line. Sonny Baker looks to defend awkwardly, but the ball straightens past the outside edge, whistling past to the keeper.

It does seem like Latham and Henry forgot or did not realize that this was a hattrick ball. Hardly any attacking field. On a good length, around off, coming in, Jordan Cox pushes it towards mid on.

A touch fuller, outside off, pushed towards mid off this time.

Just short of full, outside off, Cox drives it gloriously but finds cover.

Cuts back in from a good length, Jordan Cox looks to punch it on the rise through the off side, but gets an inside edge and the ball squirts through square leg for a single.

Just a little nip back in from off to middle, full in length. A confident front foot block by Baker in reply.

Full again, on off, Sonny presses ahead and smothers it down the pitch.

On a length, outside off, cutting in, Jordan Cox gets a good stride in and works it off the inner half of the bat towards mid-wicket.

Glorious, for nothing. Overpitched, outside off, Cox leans and drives it beautifully down the ground, but mid off quickly gets across to his right and stops the ball.

On a good length, outside off, Jordan blocks it to the off side.

Full and outside off, JC blocks it with good technique towards cover.

Yes, no, wait. Full, on middle, Jordan Cox pushes it down the ground. Initially, he sets off for the single, as this is the 5th ball of the over and Baker responds. But then, Cox sees mid on come up and changes his mind. Sonny is about to be baked but luckily for him, the fielder fumbles and he gets back in.

FOUR! Very cheeky and 200 IS UP FOR ENGLAND! A short ball, outside off, Cox waits for the ball, ducks and then arches back to ramp it over the slips to the deep third fence!

On a length, outside off, Sonny Baker defends.

Fuller, around off, Baker gets a good stride in to block.

Full and straight, Sonny gets the big front foot out again and blocks.

Good stop. On a length, outside off, SB goes back and dabs it through gully. But the fielder dives to his right and parries it to backward point.

On a length, outside off, left alone.

Full and wide outside off, let through.

On a length, outside off, punched towards point.

Short, outside off, Jordan Cox has a heave and mistimes it over mid-wicket. Gets a couple.

SIX! LAUNCHED OFF THE RUNWAY! Yes, this is the Cox that the Oval Invincibles are so used to! Have some fun, lad, and what a grab in the crowd! A short ball, outside off, Jordan Cox swings massively and clears mid-wicket with ease. And with the same ease, a youngster stands up, waiting behind two others in front of him to take the catch and grabs it with his left hand! Nice one.

Full and outside off, Jordan drives it towards mid off.

Going into white-ball mode here now, is Cox. Shuffles across his stumps, but gets a very full ball outside off and he can only push it back.

Oh dear. Poor game sense? Kyle Jamieson throws his arms up in the air and expresses his frustration. Cox gets across and somehow, manages to sweep it through square leg. The ball is going towards the ropes and Will O'Rourke is running after it, but the whole team shouts at him to let it go. Strangely, he does not hear and stops the ball, with the batters content with the single! Devon Conway gets across and just calms O'Rourke down, who seems to be confused at his teammates' reactions. One also felt that there were shouts to kick the ball into the ropes as well, but then had O'Rourke done that, it would have been a penalty of 5 runs.

OUT! BOWLED! That's it. Henry gets his 6th, fittingly and NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 253 RUNS. Cox gets across and looks to lap but misses the ball totally. Henry targets the stumps and even though Archer is in the opposition, the archer in him is not missing anything on this day. The ball lands and disturbs the woodwork.
