(Reuters) - New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme will miss the rest of their test series against England due to a heel injury that he sustained in the opening match, the team said on Monday.
All-rounder Colin de Grandhomme has been ruled out of the remainder of New Zealand's Test series against England with a heel injury, the Black Caps said on Monday.
Colin de Grandhomme will miss the rest of their Test series against England due to a heel injury that he sustained in the opening match, the team said on Monday. De Grandhomme bowled only 3.5 overs in England's second innings due to the heel issue, before New Zealand crashed to a five-wicket loss at Lord's on Sunday to go 1-0 down in the three-match series.
A huge slice of luck for birthday boy Ben Stokes and a classy innings from Joe Root moved England into a winning position on a gripping third day at the first LV= Insurance Test at Lord’s.
Ben Stokes was handed a reprieve and England a lifeline as the hosts reached 99 for four at tea in their pursuit of 277 to win the first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s.
Following England's win against New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's, batter Joe Root said that he wants to bat as long as he can and win as many matches possible for his side. James Anderson and Matthew Potts shone with the ball while Root (115*) and Stokes (54) made an impact with the bat to power England to a five-wicket win over New Zealand. With this win, England have a 1-0 lead in the series. "Feels fantastic, winning a Test match after a long time is a great experience. I have really enjoyed it and looking forward to the rest of the summer. I always feel that we get great support and appreciate whether home or away and it is nice to see them (crowd). Ben has won many Tests for us when I was captain, it's a great chance for me to give it back to him."
Ben Stokes and went for a boundary, which had costed New Zealand the trophy. In the 42nd over of England's second innings, Joe Root played a pull towards the mid-wicket area and tried to get a quick single, with Root at the other end. While running, the ball deflected off Stokes's bat and the ball changed its course yet again. Despite that, the batters did not run for the single.
