By IANS News June 18, 2026 • 09:19 AM View: 145

Tom Blundell and Glenn Phillips scripted a middle-order recovery for New Zealand, but part-time spinner Jacob Bethell claimed two late wickets as England fought back to grab the initiative on the opening day of the second Test at The Oval in London on Wednesday.

Blundell scored an 84-ball 51 while Phillips walked off the field undefeated at the end of the first day as New Zealand reached 291/7 in 77 overs, as start of play on the first day was delayed 30 minutes because of wet ground conditions.
