England vs New Zealand, 3rd Test, New Zealand tour of England, 2026 - Player HighlightsENG vs NZ, 3rd Test, New Zealand tour of England, 2026 - Player Highlights

Stokes to Tom Latham, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Finally, finally there's something for the home crowd to cheer. They had to wait for a long time. And the captain has delivered. He's been the only one who's tried few things and made the batters think. No wonder he's delighted and has a smile on his face. This was short alright but not wide enough for Latham to play the cut, he still goes for it and the outside-edge is gobbled up with Smith. Latham went "no" as soon as he played that. It looked like a tired shot. Nonetheless, the New Zealand captain has played a fantastic knock and walks off to an ovation. Tom Latham c Jamie Smith b Stokes 151(214) [4s-15]
