New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is the first Kiwi player in 73 years to score 400 runs in a Test series against England. The all-rounder accomplished this feat on Day 1 of the ongoing third and final Test of the series against England at Headingley in Leeds on Friday.
New Zealand's Henry Nicholls was out in bizarre fashion in the third Test against England at Headingley on Thursday, falling to a catch after the ball had deflected off team-mate Daryl Mitchell's bat.
England's Jack Leach was left reflecting on a "silly game" after capturing the wicket of Henry Nicholls in bizarre fashion on the opening day of the third Test against New Zealand at Headingley. The left-arm spinner's career has been blighted by illness, injury, inconsistent selection and even a concussion suffered while chasing the ball to the boundary in the first Test of this three-match campaign at Lord's.
The left-arm spinner's career has been blighted by illness, injury, inconsistent selection and even a concussion suffered while chasing the ball to the boundary in the first Test of this three-match campaign at Lord's. So he was arguably due a moment of good fortune and it arrived a day after his 31st birthday. Nicholls, on the stroke of tea, drove hard at Leach only for the ball to ricochet off non-striker Daryl Mitchell's bat and loop gently to Alex Lees at mid-off. "It was unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it," Leach told reporters following Thursday's close. "I didn't even know if that was allowed, but I'll take any wicket I can get. You get enough that don't go your way. It was very unlucky for Nicholls but very lucky for me."
Stuart Broad led England's attack in the absence of James Anderson before New Zealand lost Henry Nicholls in bizarre fashion on the opening day of the third Test at Headingley on Thursday. New Zealand were 123 for five at tea, with Broad removing Tom Latham in the first over of the match prior to capturing the key wicket of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.
LEEDS, England (Reuters) - New Zealand assistant coach Luke Ronchi said the team had given batsman Henry Nicholls a bit of time on his own in the dressing room after his bizarre dismissal on the first day of the third test against England.
In-form Daryl Mitchell powered New Zealand's revival after Stuart Broad struck early for England on the first day of the third Test at Headingley on Thursday. New Zealand were 225 for five at close of play, with Mitchell 78 not out following his hundreds at Lord's and Trent Bridge. Those inspired efforts were insufficient to prevent the World Test champions falling 2-0 behind in the three-match series. But Mitchell will aim to add another ton as the Black Caps try to salvage a victory in the series finale. Broad, England's spearhead after James Anderson was ruled out with an ankle injury, removed Tom Latham in the first over of the day and then captured the prize wicket of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson during a return of two for 45 in 17 overs.
