England 118-2 After Maiden Phillips Century Helps New Zealand to 391 All Out
Phillips reached 100 off 133 balls as New Zealand added 111 runs for their last three wickets and seized control of the second Test.
- On Thursday, Glenn Phillips scored his maiden Test century, steering New Zealand to 391 runs in their first innings at the Oval Cricket Ground, finishing unbeaten at exactly 100.
- Capitalizing on England's wayward short-ball tactics, Phillips and Kyle Jamieson added 74 runs in the first hour, forming an 87-run partnership before Jamieson fell to Jacob Bethell for 41.
- In response, England's batting order crumbled as New Zealand pace bowler Matt Henry dismissed stand-in captain Joe Root and Harry Brook lbw, trapping both within an 11-minute span.
- Debutant Jordan Cox reached 22 not out by stumps, but England slumped to 222-6, trailing New Zealand's first-innings total by 169 runs with the tail still exposed.
- Trailing 1-0 in the three-match series, New Zealand's 391 total provides a vital platform, with Phillips—dubbed the "energiser bunny" by teammate Daryl Mitchell—anchoring the visitors' fightback.
