England is poised for a resounding victory in the first Test against New Zealand after a dominant Day 3 performance in Christchurch. Harry Brook’s stunning century, Chris Woakes’ crucial wickets, and Brydon Carse’s all-round brilliance have left New Zealand reeling at 155-6, trailing by just four runs.
England fast bowler Chris Woakes, despite his struggles on overseas tours, has declared himself ready for upcoming tours of Pakistan and New Zealand. While his home form is impressive, his overseas record has been a point of concern. However, Woakes is determined to prove himself and has even been working on improving his batting skills to enhance his chances of selection.
England’s preparations for the upcoming test series against Sri Lanka have been hit by injury concerns. All-rounder Chris Woakes has withdrawn from The Hundred tournament due to injury, while captain Ben Stokes is also doubtful for the first test after suffering a suspected hamstring injury. The availability of both key players is now uncertain for the series.
