इंग्लैंड vs न्यूजीलैंड, दूसरा टेस्ट, द ओवल, लंदन, 17 June 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Exceptionally fielded by Emilio Gay. A short ball, outside off, Nathan Smith rocks back and pulls really hard. Poor Gay, standing at short leg, turns around to avoid getting hit, but gets hit on his left shin. Is down in pain.

Tossed up, fuller, on off, Smith leans on it and blocks it down.

Full, around middle, Smith looks to work it to the leg side, but the ball goes straight on, beats the bat and goes off the front pad to the off side.

Flatter and fuller, around the pads. Smith works it to short leg.

Short and wide outside off, Nathan cuts it through point for a single.

Short again from Bethell, just outside off, Glenn Phillips hangs back and punches it to mid off. 

A good short ball, outside off, angling in, Nathan Smith sways away from the line.

Back of a length, on off, Nathan Smith takes a small leap and fends it back to the bowler.

Down the leg side, Smith gets outside the line and looks to tickle but misses.

FIVE WIDES! Jofra Archer bangs another bouncer, but fails to control this one. The ball sprays way, way down the leg side. James Rew tries to leap to his left but fails to gather the ball and it races away to the deep fine leg fence.

On a nagging length, at the stumps, Nathan Smith nudges it to the front of square leg and takes a quick single.

Back of a length, around off, Phillips hops to defend it down the pitch.

Pitches it fuller, does Archer, on off, Glenn Phillips defends it to cover.

Full and straight, Nathan Smith goes back and helps it through fine leg. Jordan Cox tracks it down from leg slip but jogs to the ball, probably teasing Smith to take the third. But it is pretty much evident now that Smith and New Zealand will try and shield Phillips from the strike till Stumps.

Fuller with some flight on in, much fuller in leg, around the boots of the batter. Nathan Smith misses his flick and wears on the front pad, before the ball rolls to leg slip.

Outside off, a touch short, Smith looks to punch but there is extra bounce on that. Somehow manages to push it away.

OUT! CAUGHT! What a bonus for England! Jacob Bethell gives a wide smile with his hands on his head, as he knows it's not a good delivery. He spills out a low full toss, around the leg stump. Nathan Smith crouches down on one knee and tries to sweep it away, but the ball catches the top edge. The ball balloons toward the short fine leg region. It's Jordan Cox who runs backward from leg slip, judges the catch really well and pouches it near his chest. Smith's watchful intent is over and from 263/5, NEW ZEALAND ARE NOW 280/7!

Full and around off, Kyle Jamieson blocks it out towards mid-wicket.

On a nagging length, on off, Kyle Jamieson works it across the line to short leg. 

FOUR! Enough of ducking, says Phillips. A bouncer, around off, Glenn Phillips looks to sway initially, but at the last moment, opens the face of the bat and guides it, over short fine leg. Yes, over short fine leg, you read it right! Moves to 48.

Another short delivery, on off, shaping in. Glenn Phillips sits underneath and lets it travel to the keeper.

Down the leg side, left alone.

Jofra Archer just keeps on making the batters uncomfortable, especially Glenn Phillips. Another nasty bouncer, angling in, into the batter's lane. Glenn Phillips sways away, loses his balance, and falls on his back. 

Another bouncer, but down the leg side. Easily ducked under by Phillips.

Now Glenn Phillips takes a hefty blow on his right glove! Back of a length, pitching just outside off and nipping in. Glenn Phillips hops a bit to defend it down, but the ball carries some extra bounce off the deck and hits the right glove of the batter.

The English pacers are just sticking with the short ball plan. Josh Tongue starts off with a bouncer, on off, Kyle Jamieson ducks under it. 

Another bouncer, on off and middle. Kyle Jamieson once again sits under it to make a leave.

Whoa! Where has that come from? Short of a length, attacking the batter. Kyle Jamieson backs away and goes for an ugly hoick. He hits this miles in the air and mid-wicket runs back while deep mid-wicket comes running sideways to his left. Luckily for Jamieson, the ball lands in between and the batters get two runs. It is clear enough that Jamieson is not comfortable against the short ball, but with Stumps approaching, need such risks be taken?

FOUR! Excellent shot from Jamieson! Back of a length, on middle, Kyle Jamieson makes room and slaps it well over cover-point for four runs. 

Short and angling down the leg side, Kyle Jamieson is happy to let that one through.

Tossed up a bit, 94 kph, Jamieson stays back to block.

Shorter, outside off, 91 kph, Kyle goes back and works it towards mid-wicket.

Landed outside off, KJ pushes this towards cover.

Temptation avoided. Flighted, around off, Kyle Jamieson drives it back to the bowler and that will be STUMPS ON DAY 1, NEW ZEALAND 291/7!
