Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery - But today is a gift. That's why it is called as the present. New Zealand enjoyed their 'today' on Thursday, while England enjoyed their 'today' on Friday. What does Saturday hold in store? The pitch looks extremely good for batting and equally encouraging for bowlers to retire, and things looked extremely bleak for the home side at the end of Day 1. Comparatively, New Zealand are still in a strong position, and will believe that they can still get a fairly decent lead even from here on. England have a long batting lineup to come but at the same time, if the Black Caps can find the mat on which they have to land the ball, like they got at The Oval, they can still turn things around. On the other hand, if the hosts bat through for the first two sessions, they could either be in a position of parity or even eke out a major lead. With the pitch expected to turn from Day 3, any kind of lead will be crucial. The action on Day 3 is scheduled to commence from 10 am GMT on Saturday, 27th June, 2026, but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early for all the updates. In the meanwhile, you can catch all the action from the Women's T20 World Cup and the first Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Black dot for Black Caps - 2005 tri-series final between England and Australia at Lord's. The match ended in a tie and Nasser Hussain on air had quirped - This is almost like a win for England, because Australia don't lose finals! Yes, those were the days. Coming to the theory of relativity, let's quirp something about the Kiwis - they don't drop catches! Especially after such a wonderful show in the previous Test. But that's why we say in cricket - 9 times out of 10, he / she would have taken that catch. Friday was that one of 10 occasions. In the third over of the innings, Ben Duckett edged one off Nathan Smith straight to third slip - only to see Henry Nicholls shell a sitter. He was on 8 then and England on 8/1, having just lost Emilio Gay in the previous over. Then, in the 21st over, Duckett edged one again. This time off the bowling of Mitchell Santner. For some reason, Daryl Mitchell was standing at wide first slip, at a really unconventional position. In a normal scenario, he would have gobbled it as the ball went straight there, to the conventional position, to his right. Being wide, he could not even lay a finger on the ball. Duckett was on 74 at this stage, well set and dangerous - England were racing along at 120/1. Given the way the pitch has behaved, as England found out on Thursday, chances here are like Halley's comet - very rare. And if a chance does come and you miss it, you have to wait an age for the next. Also, very un-New Zealandly, they just could not find a way to stop the home side's scoring rate, which comes as a surprise, given the way they stifled the hosts at The Oval. Is Matt Henry that big a miss? None of the bowlers looked impressive and if the scoring went down in the final hour, it was more because of the fact that England had pulled the curtains down for the close. Additionally, having been hit by a Jofra Archer bouncer early in the day, Blair Tickner suffered concussion symptoms and got ruled out of the match. New Zealand did get a concussion replacement in the form of Zakary Foulkes, but only time will tell how good a replacement does that turn out to be.
Attacking, but not reckless - That's what head coach Brendon McCullum has been yelling from his thorax to his team - that you need to attack, but you do not need to overattack. Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell showed a glimpse of that in their partnership. Of course, they got their luck on the way - Duckett was dropped once while on another occasion, the fielder was placed strangely at a wider position. Plenty of times, the ball took the inside and the outside edges, but on every occasion barring the wicket of Duckett, landed safely. The two southpaws added 179 for the second wicket - in just 177 balls - without taking much risks at all. In their 29-and-a-half-over stand, only 9 overs went without a boundary - 5 of those 9 were in the last 5 overs of their partnership. Duckett was the major contributor in that stand, hammering 113 in just 99 balls - at a strike rate of 114.14 in a Test match - yet, his innings did not have a single six. He put the bowlers off their lengths, but crucially, did not overdo it. After Duckett fell, the scoring did come down, but Root has settled in nicely with Bethell in a 36-run stand, with the latter showing great maturity by going into first gear from third, in the last 75-odd minutes of the day.
Just a different day! Yes, that's it. That's why, Test matches are so exciting. A day ago, we were questioning about England's tactics, their bowling strength, their fortitude and everything. In just a day, the home side has turned things around. First up, they shot out New Zealand early in the morning, picking up the last 6 wickets for just 46 runs, in around 20-odd overs. A Kiwi by birth, but English by profession, Ben Stokes was at the centre of that shock for the Kiwis, as he picked up a 4-wicket haul - his 5th haul of 3 wickets or more in the last 13 innings. The hosts did lose Emilio Gay quickly with the bat, but what followed after that was a reminder of what this 'Bazball' advocating team can do.
TGIF - Thank God, It's Friday. That's what every English fan would be saying. What a turn of events in the span of 24 hours. At Tea on Day 1, England were 0 percent in control of the game. By Stumps, they gained 40 percent control. Three sessions later, they are in 80 percent control. They are still 215 runs adrift but in a much better position as compared to where they were with New Zealand on 317/0.

It was there to be hit, but he just could not get the short and wide ball away. On second thoughts, with just 3 more left in the day, better off to leave these alone.

FOUR! MAJESTIC! If only a push can give you runs, the outfield can be termed as a bar of soap. On a length, outside off, Root comes forward and just offers a forward defensive stroke, pushing the ball through the off side. No force, no power. But once the ball lands on the turf, it just accelerates at the speed of a missile and rockets through to the cover fence. How do you set a field for a gentle push?

Nasser Hussain on air gives us an important information on Tom Blundell. Hussain tells that throughout this Test series, Blundell has been the earliest to come to the ground, on every match day. He stands behind the stumps, looks at the deck and imagines how the ball would be coming to him. Does a lot of shadow practicing on his keeping and without a doubt, is doing a lot of hard work on his keeping. Right. We are entering into the final 30 minutes of play today and here comes the concussion substitute for his first contribution in this match - Zakary Foulkes.

Creamed away, but for only one. Full and wide outside off. Bethell leans into the drive. Cracks it away between cover and mid off. Henry Nicholls dives to his left, makes a half stop by taking out the sting and parries it to Mitchell Santner who gets across from mid off. Just a single. But that was travelling at the rate of knots. So a good effort in the field.
Nasser Hussain on air informs us that as per the official statistician for this broadcast, out of Joe Root's 14,000-plus runs in Tests, more than 3,500 have come behind square on the off side alone!

On a length, outside off, coming in with the angle, Joe looks to defend, playing for the angle but the ball pitches and then nips away off the seam, beating the outside edge.

DRINKS BREAK. Final one for the day. We have around 50 minutes on the clock, while in terms of the overs remaining, we believe that 23 more need to be bowled tonight. New Zealand have got something to cheer about, having dismissed Ben Duckett and can work on cutting the run rate for now. You never know, with the boundaries not coming as regularly as before, it might entice a false shot and suddenly, the hosts might be 4 down by Stumps.

Can Zakary Foulkes qualify as a like-for-like replacement for Blair Tickner? This is an argument doing the rounds on social media. It is a very valid question, as Tickner is an out and out pace bowler while Foulkes is a bit of an allrounder, who can bat decently. So how can it be like-for-like? Now, let's look at the options in the Kiwi squad - Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Glenn Phillips and Will Young. Now, Henry and Jamieson are injured and hence, not picked for this match, while the other two are solid batting options. So, it is a case of can't-do-anything-more-to-field-an-XI types. Reminds me of an incident between Australia and India in 2020, where Yuzvendra Chahal came on as a concussion substitute for Ravindra Jadeja in India's bowling innings. Now, Australia's argument was, Chahal was a pure bowler while Jadeja was an allrounder, and it was not like for like. But that's the way the game goes!

Nathan Smith To Ben Duckett OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! At last, Lady Luck smiles on New Zealand on Friday. Duckett and Bethell have been flirting with their luck quite a few number of times in this innings and at long last, it has frowned on one of them. On a length, outside off, with Smith dragging the length back just a fraction after the half volley on the previous ball, Duckett looks to guide it towards backward point, but does not move his feet. As a result, a bottom edge is generated and for once, it goes and hits the stumps. Duckett looks at the heavens as the Kiwis celebrate the breaking of the 179-RUN STAND. Probably a tired shot as well, with so much heat around. ENGLAND ARE 187/2 AND TRAIL NEW ZEALAND BY 251 RUNS.

An appeal for stumping from Blundell. Quick and alert glovework from him. Back of a length and outside off, with extra bounce. Bethell shapes to play at it initially before withdrawing his wrists at the last moment. Blundell takes it cleanly around face height and whips the bails off in one motion, seeing Bethell's foot momentarily in the air.

Nathan Smith fields and fires a throw at the batting end, but it is way too wayward and there is no one to cut it off, and hence, the ball races away to the deep third fence for four overthrows.

Will O'Rourke To Ben Duckett
NEW ZEALAND LOSE A REVIEW! Pitched on a good length, angled into the batter, staying a tad low on bounce. Duckett gets across and tries to whip it to the leg side, but plays all over it and is hit on the thigh pad. A big appeal for LBW, but not given. Plenty of chatting among the Kiwi players and eventually, Latham opts for a review with just two or three seconds left on the timer. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows that it is missing the leg stump on height.
DRINKS BREAK. All of a sudden, things are looking ominous for New Zealand. They have not been able to stem the flow of runs, with Duckett and Bethell cruising along without much fuss. Santner was expected to provide some control but has been all over the place, and with conditions still pristine for batting, anything loose from the pacers has been punished without hesitation. New Zealand need a wicket badly. To add to their worries, they are already a bowler short, with considerable uncertainty hanging over Tickner's availability after a possible concussion. England trail by 285 runs and Will O'Rourke will continue after the much-needed hydration break.

Michael Atherton on air informs us that Blair Tickner is off the field for the moment, reporting dizzyness. This morning, he was hit on the helmet, while trying to avoid a bouncer from Jofra Archer. The signs are pointing towards concussion and we might see a like-for-like replacement if this gets serious. Meanwhile, New Zealand are not happy with the ball and the umpires agree to have it changed. The batters take this moment to have some drinks. Duckett, in the meanwhile, gets some sunscreen applied as well. With a change of ball, we will have a change of bowler too. Will O'Rourke is back on. 5-2-14-1 so far.

New Zealand have to be very careful here. The outfield at Trent Bridge is very fast, so anything even mistimed could find its way to the fence. So run curtailing is next to impossible at this venue. Mitchell Santner needs to find a way to get the batters make mistakes and price a wicket out.

EDGED, DOES NOT CARRY AGAIN! It is almost as if Day 1 is being played out, with roled reversed. New Zealand are fighting with their luck today. A lovely off cutter, on middle and leg, Bethell looks to play this straight, but is beaten by the lack of pace. The ball lands, spins away, takes the outside edge, but does not carry to the slips. Second slip dives in front of first, but ends up parrying it past the keeper, to his right. A single taken.

Full and outside off, Jacob Bethell gets a big stride out to defend.
It continues to bake at Trent Bridge. Around 43 overs left in the day. Spin will have to play a huge role, not only in improving the over rate, but also slowing the scoring rate down. And on cue, it will be Mitchell Santner to start things off. Bethell to face.
... DAY 2, FINAL SESSION ...
Fast-forward to shrink the deficit - Coming to bat after a long stint in the field, England made a slippery start, losing Emilio Gay on the 11th ball to a fiery opening burst from O'Rourke. They could easily have been two down had Nicholls not grassed Duckett on 8. If anything, the dropped chance only seemed to fire Duckett up, as he took the new ball on with real aggression and made the most of his second life, scoring a boundary-laden fifty, with Bethell providing a steady presence alongside him. Duckett has given England a platform and they will be keen for him to turn this promising start into something substantial. The pendulum has swung sharply across two days, from New Zealand cruising at 317/0, to being bundled out for 438, and England now motoring along at a good pace. It is the Kiwis who are searching for a turnaround now. The third and final session is expected to start at around 3 pm GMT. Stay tuned.
Stokes' heat consumed the Kiwis - At the stroke of lunch, New Zealand were 418 for 7, with Blundell, a proper batter, and Smith, no mug with the bat either, still at the crease. The scoring rate had dipped considerably amid the constant fall of wickets, with the pitch showing visible signs of breaking down in the heat. Still, it was a good one to bat on and the pair did well to rebuild through a 21-run stand. England, though, kept creating chances almost at will, and eventually the discipline paid off. Stokes and Archer brought the heat, and when Bashir got in on the act with a bit of craft and guile late in the innings, the visitors simply caved in.
One day, a world of difference - What difference can a day make? A lot. Ask the English bowlers. They were toasted under the Nottingham sun for the entirety of Day 1, shoulders dropping down, knees aching, finding some relief only at Stumps. Yet, they faced the daunting prospect of preventing themselves from bowling through another day or more. Wickets were hard to come by, just four falling across the opening day. Come Day 2, England were a different side altogether, led by an inspirational bowling display by captain Stokes. More so, they attacked the stumps and that discipline and accuracy bled throughout the bowling attack, the very plan they had so conspicuously lacked the day before.
Counterattack at its best - Excellent session for England. Looking at how things have unfolded on the second day so far, they have had the better of both sessions without much argument. They first effectively wiped off New Zealand's batting order, and have found the next gear with the bat as well, as they aim to hunt down the deficit.

Did that carry? Nope. Full, outside off, Duckett is way too early into his stroke, as he looks to play this down the ground. Closes the bat face very early and as a result, a leading edge is induced. The bowler tries to get across to his right, but the ball just about evades him, going towards mid off.

FOUR! Duckett plays the field. Just before this ball, Mitchell Santner moved the man from deep backward point to deep point. Smith bowls this fractionally short outside off and Duckett backs away, opens the face of his bat and guides it behind point - exactly where the man was, previously! It is the shorter side of the ground and the ball simply races away, beating the fielder to his right. Duckett moves to 30 (24) with his 7th boundary.

Will O'Rourke To Emilio Gay OUT!
OUT! STRANGLED DOWN THE LEG SIDE! And just like that, the Kiwis have their first breakthrough. It took England 72.1 overs to get their first. New Zealand have got theirs in the eleventh ball. Will bashes the length hard, and slants it down the leg side, generating a decent lift off the surface. Emilio Gay gets inside the line to nudge it around the corner, but is undone by the extra bounce and pace perhaps. Gets a thin edge behind and Tom Blundell takes a simple catch behind the stumps. New Zealand appeal as one and up goes the finger. Gay throws his head backwards in disappointment and walks without reviewing. England are 8/1, trailing by 430 runs.

FOUR! Duckett is up and running in style! Smith overpitches in search of swing, serving it up very full outside off. Duckett leans into the drive with perfect balance and creams it through the cover gap. No stopping that one as it races away to the fence. England are underway.
