New Zealand batter Devon Conway has tested positive for COVID-19 after taking a PCR Test on arrival in London on Wednesday. Conway has begun five days of isolation ahead of the third and final Test, which will be played at Headingley from June 23 to 27. Apart from Conway, all-rounder Michael Bracewell and two members of New Zealand's support staff have also tested Covid positive and have begun their isolation.
England chased down 299 in little over two sessions on the final day to win the high-scoring 2nd Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. With several fine knocks on display, the one that stole the show was Jonny Bairstow's brutal 92-ball 136 in the fourth innings as England showed great intent to win a match that looked headed for a draw. The game saw a total of 249 boundaries hit, comprising 229 fours and 24 sixes. This is the most boundaries hit in a Test match, breaking the record set by the drawn Sydney Test between Australia and India in 2004, which is best remembered for Sachin Tendulkar's unbeaten 241.
During Day 5 of the ongoing second Test between England and New Zealand, Kiwi pacer Trent Boult broke a unique record in the longest format. Known for his bowling skills, Boult has now scored the most runs by a player batting at number 11 in Tests. Boult scored 17 runs in the 2nd innings, taking his tally to 640 runs while batting as the 'Jack'. Boult went past former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who had scored 623 runs at the number 11 spot. Boult had also scored 16 runs in the first innings.
England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test Day 3 Live Score Updates: Ollie Pope and Alex Lees will look to build on from the momentum they manage to get on the second day of the ongoing second Test after New Zealand posted 553 on the board. Lees and Pope had taken England's score to 90/1 at stumps on Day 2 and now they would look to carry forward the good start. Earlier, Trent Boult had struck early for New Zealand as he removed Zak Crawley with the final ball of the second over. Earlier, Daryl Mitchell played a 190-run knock while Tom Blundell scored 106 as New Zealand posted 553 runs on the board in the first innings of the ongoing second Test against England at Trent Bridge. For England, James Anderson returned with three wickets while Stuart Broad, Jack Leach and Ben Stokes took two each. New Zealand had resumed Day 2 at the overnight score of 318/4. (LIVE SCORECARD)
ENG vs NZ, 2nd Test, Day 1 Live Updates: Tom Latham and Will Young have provided a cautious start to New Zealand after the visitors were asked to bat first by England in the ongoing second Test at Trent Bridge. Earlier, England won the toss and elected to bowl against New Zealand in the second Test at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. England took a 1-0 lead in the series, courtesy of Joe Root's ton in the second innings, and some fine bowling performance from debutant Matthew Potts. The Durham pacer took seven wickets in the match, while veteran pacer James Anderson and Stuart Broad also enjoyed their time in the middle after being recalled to the side. New Zealand, on the other hand, had made a strong comeback in the second innings, after being bowled out for a paltry total of 131. Kiwis, however, will miss skipper Kane Williamson, who tested positive for Covid on the eve of the second Test. Tom Latham will lead the team in his absence. Meanwhile, Colin de Grandhomme will also miss the game due to an injury. (LIVE SCORECARD)
NOTTINGHAM, England : England won the toss and elected to bowl against a changed New Zealand side rocked by the absence of captain Kane Williamson for what could be a decisive second test at Trent Bridge on Friday.
Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway has attributed his side's performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years to "keeping your chin up" attitude, which he felt doesn't allow emotions to get the better of players even after big losses. The New Zealander added that despite the fact that the four-time IPL champions couldn't hit their stride in this year's edition of the tournament, there was no despondency in the dressing room, as everyone kept a smile on their face, not allowing defeats to affect them much.
New Zealand all-rounder Suzie Bates said on Saturday that it will be hard for Chennai Super Kings to leave opener Devon Conway out of their playing eleven after his recent good performances in the late stages of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2022.
