Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 2: The headline may be recency bias, but England will be delighted with their day’s work. Considering the match situation, the conditions, and weary legs from one of their toughest days yesterday, England have turned the Test, the series, and possibly even the future employment of Brendan McCullum on their heads. An early blast from Stokes and Bashir and a scintillating return to form from Ben Duckett have England in the driver's seat. Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross.
