Jos Buttler was exceptional behind the stumps today. In this article, we will discuss about England Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Match Scorecard.

England’s batting

England’s batsmen showed dominance against New Zealand at Old Trafford during the second game of their series at Old Trafford. Jos Buttler hit 43 from 42 balls to help create an outstanding 70-run partnership between him and Dawid Malan that set up a substantial total. Buttler is hoping to regain form before heading off to World Cup competition next year, supported by Harry Brook’s 25 from 21 balls score.

This match featured many exciting moments, with an exhilarating last hour after a rain delay providing entertainment and atmosphere to fans throughout the day. Additionally, several close calls were settled via the Decision Review System to ensure accurate and fair decisions were being made by umpires.

Gus Atkinson comes on to bowl as England look for quick runs. Buttler attempts to lift one over mid-on but the ball dribbles off his pads for a single. Henry attempts a cut off Williamson but was caught at backward point instead, before Williamson himself mishandles a low ball from Buttler which hit him on his knee, leading to another no-ball from Buttler that produced yet another no-ball no strike-through in one innings!

New Zealand captain Tom Latham decided to reserve Trent Boult and Matt Henry for use during the death overs, opting to use them early instead to limit England’s scoring options. His decision proved fruitful as England were well on their way to scoring big before being all out in 39 overs.

Henry returns, but England’s hopes for an expedient finish are dashed as Malan drives a ball into spice square leg region for an easy catch, then attempts to drive one fuller length ball but hits only ropes ahead of his stumps.

New Zealand’s batting

England and New Zealand have long had an intense, close rivalry, with Tuesday’s match being no different. Jonny Bairstow’s impressive innings was the catalyst to England achieving a competitive total; while Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra fought hard to ensure New Zealand posted a respectable total during their chase.

But a dismal start for New Zealand set the stage for their innings as they lost three wickets within the Powerplay. Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson made life difficult for visitors’ top order; even though they managed to limit damage by keeping visitors’ score to within reason, ultimately the pressure of chase proved too great to bear.

Jos Buttler takes a regulation catch behind the stumps from Liam Livingstone’s fuller delivery from off. Benjamin Lister attempted to play it front foot; however, due to pitch turns his attempt was futile and dislodged the bails from their post.

New Zealand boasts a formidable middle order with Ravindra and Phillips playing at their best; however, their lack of depth could become an issue should any key players depart in the coming months.

With numerous key players sidelined due to injuries, New Zealand will look for some stability in their batting line-up before their series against India in November. Trent Boult remains their stand-out batsman while Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell show promise; nonetheless they need more firepower if they wish to compete with some of the top teams around; once they find some consistency with their batsmen they could become formidable opponent for any opponents they face in this format.

England’s bowling

England’s bowling struggled against New Zealand, yet still managed to limit their run-rate at an acceptable level. Chris Woakes, Reece Topley and Sam Curran all performed admirably while their spinners also helped keep New Zealand batsmen quiet.

Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook’s aggressive batting led England’s innings, while Moeen Ali provided crucial assistance with the ball. Unfortunately, England’s performance could not prevent New Zealand from winning the match.

New Zealand’s batsmen struggled to capitalise on England’s slow start and lost several wickets early. Tom Blundell and Daryl Mitchell salvaged New Zealand’s innings with disciplined and calculated bating that led to an acceptable total.

New Zealand’s bowlers continued to put England under pressure in the post-tea session. Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson’s pace and swing bowling was an immediate threat, while Bairstow and Brook played cautious shots along the leg side, opting instead for small gaps where runs could accumulate slowly.

Early on, Izzy Gaze’s run-out attempt failed when she pushed the ball to third base instead of reacting quickly enough to her partner’s call for run-out. England can nonetheless be pleased with their overall batting performance and will be confident they can defend their low total total score.

Now into the final over, Boult, who bowls left-arm rounders to Adil Rashid and Mark Wood’s right-handed batsmen, provides little width and keeps batters honest with his tight bowling action. New Zealand continues to take wickets by changing things up at will; although England have put up strong scores so far this won’t be an easy game.

New Zealand’s bowling

New Zealand’s bowling was dominant throughout, but ultimately insufficient as England struggled to overcome Trent Boult and Matt Henry – two key figures who kept England batsmen guessing with their pace and bounce throughout their innings.

Boult’s pace and spin were essential in providing balance to an otherwise imbalanced New Zealand side, but injuries limited their success; Tim Southee fractured his thumb, while Lockie suffered from calf issues left them short of depth.

As a result, their top order struggled, although Buttler and Livingstone provided some respite with their steady batting. Unfortunately for Buttler and Livingstone though, New Zealand bowlers were relentless in their pursuit to remove both.

Suzie Bates started off well, hitting three fours off England seamers in her opening over. Lauren Filer quickly removed her with her second delivery before Henry and Boult ensured they did not allow England to run away with the game.

England’s batsmen could not find an opening against New Zealand bowling and were punished accordingly, ultimately helping secure victory for their hosts by an overwhelming margin.

Mitchell has been an especially troublesome presence for England, and continues to create issues. In the 14th over he slipped a pull through third man for four runs before edgeing to short leg for two more. Although only 11 runs were scored from that over, New Zealand bowlers need to start taking wickets more regularly in order to prevent England from running out of scoring options and becoming invincible in defeat.

England’s fielding

England’s fielding performance was woeful as they struggled to contain New Zealand. A lack of discipline allowed the Kiwis to gain an advantage that ultimately saw them win by an impressive margin – Jos Buttler being most at fault, though England were clearly outclassed across every department.

England decided to bat first after winning the toss and Jonny Bairstow excelled with both power and precision during England’s innings, utilising full tosses, slower balls, quick runs down leg side and full tosses – while Harry Brook’s resilience and strategic play also played a pivotal role.

New Zealand openers Latham and Conway played with positive intent. They managed to keep up the run rate even after being asked to follow on, regularly hitting boundaries while maintaining pace with their target. Finn Allen was another standout performer as his aggressive approach enabled him to score quickly while keeping pace with New Zealand’s target.

England was unable to stem New Zealand’s attack through their bowlers; pace bowlers Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson created early pressure on Kiwi batsmen before spinners Moeen Ali and Sam Curran made scoring difficult for New Zealand top order batsmen in session two.

Wood’s attempt at an aerial shot only ended up flying over the boundary rope and missing de Kock altogether, and Atkinson was unable to catch it before it flew through midwicket for four. Wood then hit an off-side six over long-on, leaving New Zealand needing 244 runs more in order to avoid an innings defeat – they will hope for better fortune in their final session of play.
