## Resource

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Day 3: It was a red-letter day for the return of Henry Nicholls, who notched up a classy century to put a flat England to the sword. With only Matt Fisher showing early resistance with the bat, it was down to the bowlers to keep England in the match on a beautiful batting wicket. Days 4 and 5 will be intriguing. Will England launch another Bazballian chase on a wicket that has been offering very little late in games? Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross.
