(Reuters) - New Zealand head to Nottingham for the second test against England with pride wounded and their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign on a knife-edge after a deflating loss at Lord's.
After hitting a match-winning century in the first England vs New Zealand Test at Lord's on Sunday, Joe Root opened up about his "unhealthy relationship" with Test captaincy. Root had stepped down as England's skipper in the longest format following series defeats in the Ashes in Australia and then away to the West Indies. Ben Stokes was appointed his successor and Root played a big role in helping the all-rounder get off to a winning start in his captaincy stint in the series against New Zealand.

Less than a year after beating India at the same venue to claim the inaugural WTC trophy, New Zealand's five-wicket defeat on Sunday left them seventh in the standings and another setback at Trent Bridge could prove terminal for their title defence. The Black Caps could do with all hands on deck to turn things around, but are unlikely to have all-rounder Collin de Grandhomme available for the match starting Friday after he suffered a heel injury while bowling on day three.
Regarded as one of the finest batters of all-time, Sachin Tendulkar had some fierce battles with pacers from across the globe during his playing career. However, his duels with former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar are some of the most-talked about battles till date. Sachin used to dominate Akhtar on most occasions, but the latter used to retaliate by bowling vicious bouncers. During a recent chat, Akhtar revealed that he intentionally wanted to hurt Tendulkar during India's tour of Pakistan in 2006.
