The second test between England and New Zealand turned into an interesting content. Till now, New Zealand reached 291/7 runs, with the valuable contributions from Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell. Besides an unbeaten Glenn Phillips just about to touch the half century, guided the innings to go it ahead. England's sharp technic and attacking move tried to create pressure on new Zealand continuously. The match seems nicely balanced at this stage. New Zealand playing good in comparison of first test match. Maybe this time they probably aim to score around 350runs as they still have talented batsman while England will believe a couple of early wickets can limit such score as they also have skillful bowlers. But main twist will start then England start the batting.

This match involves the teams of New Zealand and England, in which the England team has decided to field and for this reason New Zealand started their batting and set a strong target of 291 for their opponent team and along with this they have lost 7 wickets but they have not neglected their target due to the wickets and have made a good score. Almost all the players of their team have scored good runs due to which they have been able to make a strong score. All the players have supported each other well. So far they have completed their first innings in which their good performance has been seen. Now the England team will play their innings in which it will be seen who will win this innings. Then after that they will get a chance to play another innings, which will have a good performance in both innings

These are the Test matches being played between them in which New Zealand had to lose the first match and now it has become very important for them to play well for their victory and strength and it is also a little difficult for them to control the England team. I was enough surprised that they have made a good addition of 100 runs with 3 wickets and this has become a target of 391 and the England batsmen have been able to score only 222 runs so far and if they lose their next 4 wickets carelessly then New Zealand will victory this first innings which will also make it easier for them to move forward in the Test series. The success and strength of the team comes only when all the batsmen score runs together and create a good and strong target for their success which does not weaken their victory. The England batsmen are playing as before but New Zealand have made a good change in their efforts.

The match between England and New Zealand is getting interesting. New Zealand had a late resurgence in batting, after struggling at 188 for 5, they managed to reach 391 runs is an incredible batting achievement. To make matters worse for England, they gave away a staggering 53 runs as extras, which is the second highest score after Glenn Phillips's century. 

England started well, but now they are struggling after losing their 6th wicket for 222 runs, they still trail by 169 runs.

In the last match, the pitch was good and admirable for the bowlers so let's see what will happen this time since the match is hosted by England and in those conditions weather also plays a huge role in the game. It is hard to predict the exact conditions of the pitch and weather for tomorrow, but still analysis can be done by the players. However, if we talk about the game plan, every batsmen needs to play a big innings and  one of the important things is to play for a longer duration and runs will come automatically.

Test series between two competitive teams is underway. New Zealand is playing their first innings. Unfortunately Devon Conway couldn't performed well. Matthew Fisher took his wicket. But then Henry Nicholas filled the gap, Sonny Baker bowler of England creating trouble for the New Zealand, because he ave the loss of 2 wickets. Hence overall team is doing good and now on 245 runs for 5 wickets. It's not big but modest target till now. If they want to get the results New Zealand have to work on their bowling and fielding planning both.

Yes, New Zealand's batting performance in the first innings, although they could not do much in the opening, due to which they were dismissed for 391 runs. Only New Zealand batsman Glenn Phillips scored a century by scoring 100 runs, due to which the New Zealand team was able to reach this run today. However, it is already seen that the batting performance of the England team is not good at all, rather they are not able to keep up with the bowling performance of the New Zealand team in today's match. The bowling performance of the New Zealand team is good, the England team has already lost 190/5 wickets, which has put them under a lot of pressure. However, looking at today's batting performance, it seems that the England team may fail to meet the target given by New Zealand, they still have to collect 201 runs, although there are no good wickets. However, if New Zealand can equalize the series result by winning against England, then it will be a good competition.

In 1 st test game of this test series, England team beated NZ team by 115 runs margin and now 2 nd test game between team is playing at Kennington Oval. England team won toss and they selected first bowling line and gave batting opportunity to NZ team. Today day 2 was ended and NZ team made 391 runs in 1 st turn and Glenn batsmen of NZ team made brilliant century and he scored 100 runs in 135 ballsnand hitted eighteen 4s. Tom effort was also good and he batted well with Glenn and scored 51 runs in 84 balls and hitted six 4s. Now England team 1 st turn is playing and their six batsmen lost wickets which include Joe, Jacob, Ben, Harry and two more. England team made 222 runs and need 169 more to compete NZ's runs. jordan and Jofra both are at crease and it is still difficult to say which team will win this game. Jacob bowling was excellent as he took 3 wicket for NZ team and gave 26 runs in 10 overs.  Lets see who will win this game.

The second test is being played between New Zealand and England, in which the New Zealand team has set a target of 391 runs, while the England team was chasing their target and time ran out. Now the match will start again tomorrow at 3 pm, but six players of the England team have been out and they have scored 222. Now they need 169 runs. Let's see if their team can do it or not. The way their team is performing, it seems that their team will definitely complete the target given in the first innings. But if we look at the first innings, the performance of the New Zealand team was also quite high. All the players tried to perform better than the previous players. Glenn Phillips scored a century and Tom Blundell also scored a half-century. Now let's see what is the result of this second test, because the England team is also looking very excited.

Unlike the case with the first test, this time the curators prepared a well balanced pitch. And unfortunately for the Poms, New Zealand batted first (England asked them to bat, after winning the toss) and put up a decent total. Again, the absence of a quality spinner is hurting England a lot. Anyway, this time they went with an all-pace attack, and I thought that was way better than having a substandard spinner like Rehan Ahmed in the playing XI. Still they had the Kiwis down to 280/7. And from that position they let the advantage slip, as Glenn Phillips and Kyle Jamieson added 87 runs for the 8th wicket.

[Jaweria parveen]

In his turn, Phillips scored the most runs and every player thought about improving the mistakes of the previous game and this has also been implemented. Blundell also scored 51 runs with a nice performing, Mitchell also added 44 runs and powerful the base of the aim and Jamieson with his tight work of 41 runs has joined his players and made a basic aim. For ENG players, crossing this aim is also an obstacle because their players who were expected to add more runs to the aim did not play very nice in it, so the NZ players kept their wickets in their pockets with 2 2. If the ENG players who played useless had been the motivation of their team, then this aim of NZ would not have helped them at all.

The 2nd day was very favorable for New Zealand in the test game between England and New Zealand. As we know at the end of day one New Zealand played very well and prevent there three wickets successfully and especially Glenn Phillips was on the greece and also Kyle Jamieson was very  impactful and New Zealand ends the first innings almost on four hundred runs. England batters looking confident because they have the edge of home conditions and the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Emilio Gay puts a very talented half century and in middle order Joy Root was very impressive with his class but at the end of day two England lost there five wickets and may be tomorrow they lost all wickets.

~ England is having deep troubles due to their on- and off-the-field issues. Their bowlers completely fail to have something positive for them. There are still 15 overs left in this day play. Both needed to stay and have their best with third-day play. It is going to be interesting because a big lead can give a big edge to New Zealand.

England batting lineup has collapsed unexpectedly. I thought that they would be able to score at least 350 runs in the first innings. England batsmen were playing comfortably when I made the post here yesterday. But now they have only 1 wicket in hand, and England is trailing by 130+ runs. So, NZ is going to start the 2nd innings with a decent lead. The pitch is slowly becoming difficult for the batsmen.

There is a major change in the England lineup, with three debutants for England, Jordan Cox, James Rew and Sonny Baker. Emilio Gay and Matthew Fisher have played just one Test match prior to this match, it is safe to say that England have a fairly inexperienced side, and hence it is not a big surprise with the performance.

Mat Henry bowled an exceptional spell and picked up 5 wickets. For England Matthew Fisher, is playing a lone hand with the tail, as they have lost their 9th wicket and still trail by over 104 runs.

Unfortunately openers did not give good start to the game, Devon Conway an important batsman was out only on 9 runs. But thanks to Glenn Philips whose full century helped in lifting the score up. While rest of the batting line was not impressive. However they posted 391 runs as total for the England.While response of England till now is on 222 runs. Emilio Gay added 53 runs , after his dismissal team's players were fumbled due to pressure. New Zealand are doing good job with the ball. They collected 6 wickets till now. Overall if New Zealand bowlers perform with this energy then it could be difficult for the England to perform well. Let's for sure results we will have to wait may be England will give strong comeback back and change our expectations.

[noormcs5]

Glenn Phillips played very well in this match and he was a top performer in this match because he made century in the first inning of the match and he hit 18 fours in this match. Emilio Gay was a person who made half century in this match and he made score in good quality. England team trail by 169 runs in this match. Blundell was a person who made half century in this match and hit 6 fours in this match . Both teams have to play well to win this match but New Zealand cricket team is ahead in this match because they made a target on board and new Zealand International cricket team was all out at just 391 runs and England cricket team have to play well to cross the score in this match. Cox is present on the crease and he can manage the score.

This time New Zealand looks like a different play they used all their time and played until there is no wicket left. Yesterday they were standing on something score like 291 plus and today they scored 100 runs more and at the and they have scored 391 runs in their first innings. When England came to bat, some of the batsmen were trying their best to stand an empire where as some of the batsmen lost their wickets early and they end up making 291 runs.

Important thing for New Zealand is that they have managed to get 100 runs lead in first innings and they have also scored 210 runs in second innings. This means they now lead by 310 runs and with seven wickets still left they can still extend there lead to 450 runs and if that happens then New Zealand surly will be favourite to draw the series. From England side we were able to see some good innings but 5 wickets from Matt Henry restricted England team to 291 runs.

As this match is being played between England and New Zealand, in which the New Zealand team had set a target of 391 runs yesterday and today it was England's turn to play, they have scored 222 runs out of their target while batting in their first innings, which was made by almost all the players together. No player batted as well as they should have against their opponent team. With the help of all the players, this score could be achieved. Along with this, 6 of their wickets have fallen, which proves that a little carelessness has been shown in their batting, due to which these wickets have fallen in their score. If we look at it, the run rate of the New Zealand team is also higher in terms of the match so far, from this it can be inferred that their performance has been good to good. Despite batting so much, the England team is still behind by 169 runs, so they will have to keep their batting strong now to achieve this.

[7788bitcoin]

New Zealand are in a really strong position as they are leading by 352 runs. Since they have plenty of wickets in hand, they will likely bat for a session or two before asking England to chase a total of over 450 runs, which will be a daunting task. With disciplinary issues within the England team, New Zealand now have a golden opportunity to level the series.

[JahriMeayer]

New Zealand seem to have regained their confidence as they are performing much better than they did in first test. They are still in a strong position after Day 3 of the 2nd Test and they have built a massive lead of 352 runs with having 252/3 runs in 2nd innings. Henry Nicholls showed great patience and control, leading his team by hitting century and so on.England unable to made higher runs in first innings and now their bowlers face a challenging task to limit NZ Batters from collecting more runs. Even though England's batters need to produce a very higher score in their second innings if they don't wanna lose the match. I think the game is slowly moving towards New Zealand’s favour, but the match can change quickly. Lets see how England's players handle the pressure

[Haunebu]

Really glad to see the Kiwis well on their way to taking this 2nd test which should make the final a whole lot more exciting. England are clearly missing Stokes and Atkinson quite a bit who threw away useful opportunities due to trivial reasons.

Sad to see Williamson retire, but it turned out to be the right call. Hope Smith and Root from the Test Fab 4 don't retire anytime soon(Especially Smith whose test batting average is absolutely insane).

Missing Kane Williamson in this series, but New Zealand is playing well. He was a legendary player and always made an impact in the game. Yeah, in his last some matches he often failed and that was the major reason behind his retirement to get off before the actual downfall.

New Zealand suffered a humiliating defeat in the first match due to the poor performance of their batsmen. They are batting incredibly well in the second match. They scored a huge 391 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, New Zealand lost just 2 wickets and managed to score 252 runs. New Zealand is already leading by a huge margin of 252 runs.

Since New Zealand have lost just 3 wickets, adding 100/150 runs to the scoreboard will not be a very difficult task for them. If New Zealand can give a target of 400+, they will definitely win. Even then, I guess New Zealand will give a target of around 450.

If we talk about the match, right now Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell are forming a good partnership and scoring well. Henry Nicholls is fully settled on the pitch, whereas Daryl Mitchell has also played more than 40 balls, so not a fresher any more but intermediate.

After the first loss in the first test match, New Zealand are playing with a different strategy and they take it seriously. Henry Nicholls smashed century today and still he is not out, he has chance to convert his century into 150 and he will make it for sure. By the way I think that New Zealand should not focus on match right now, they have two days more so captain needs to believe in their bowlers that they can take 10 wickets in a single day so I want to say that today try to focus on making some big runs like having the longest lead or whatever.
