Henry stars as New Zealand complete victory against England in second Test | Cricket News

New Zealand quick Matt Henry demolishes England’s batting in the second innings to take control of the series.

New Zealand pace bowler Matt Henry got through England’s tail to give his side a 253-run victory in the second Test at ⁠The Oval to level the series 1-1.

Starting the fifth day on 182-5 and chasing 463 to win, England folded quickly on Sunday and were all out for 209 after less than an hour’s play.

Henry took all five wickets in the morning, removing Joe Root LBW for 77 with the second first ball of the day – ⁠Root adding just two runs to his overnight score.

Two balls later, he dropped Jofra Archer for a duck, and in his next over, played Matthew Fisher on his stumps without scoring. Then with the next ball, he had Josh Tongue edging to Daryl Mitchell.

Henry then finished bowling Jordan Cox with an in-swinging yorker to take his match to 11 wickets.

England have now lost eight of their last eight Tests.

Next week’s selection will be held at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
