Stokes' injury: England is subject to New Zealand with 423 runs!

New Zealand celebrates an overwhelming 423-round victory in the third and last test, while the injured English captain Ben Stokes is watching.

A drama on the cricket field! New Zealand caused a sensation with an impressive 423-round victory against England in the third test. The injured captain of the English, Ben Stokes, had to observe what was happening from the sidelines after he had injured the thigh muscles again. A bitter setback for the English who had previously triumphed in the first two tests!

Stokes, who had already struggled with injuries in the past, does not believe that his high bowling load contributed to his injury in this crucial game. "Every step in the field has the risk of injury," said the 33-year-old after the game in Hamilton. "It is simply the law of the series that after I finally felt fit again, I can do it again."

an emotional setback for stokes

with 24 over in the first inner sings and only two balls in his 13th round of the second innerings, Stokes was strongly challenged. "I worked hard to be in this form, and then something like this happens," he said frustrated. After the injury, he was emotional and asked himself whether he could have done something differently to avoid the setback.

"If you think about it, you realize that you take the risk in every game you play," he added. Stokes will have an MRI examination on Wednesday to determine the extent of his injury. "I hope I'm fit to play against India," he said optimistically.

New Zealand, on the other hand, celebrated a triumphal conclusion for her captain Tim Southe, who received a worthy farewell in his last friendly on home. "It's nice to end," said New Zealand captain Tom Latham. "We knew that we hadn't done our best in the first two games, but here we adapted well."

a historical victory for the Black Caps

The Black Caps, who returned to New Zealand with a lot of confidence after triumphing in India, showed their true skills in the Seddon Park. They achieved their greatest victory in test history and added England to the fourth -worst defeat in this form of the game. England, which was so dominant in the first two tests, fell after lunch on the fourth day with 234 all-out.

The last three winds fell in just 12 balls, and England could not even reach the 658 runs that would have been necessary for victory. Stokes ’team, which shone in the first two tests, could not build on these services and had to give up.

Mitchell Santner was named player of the game after he overrun the English bat team with seven Wickets and at the same time shone with the racket with 76 and 49 runs. "It was a team victory," emphasized Latham.

Although the English go home with a painful defeat, there were also bright spots. Jacob Bethell achieved another strong result with 76 runs before he became Southe's last Wicket. Joe Root reached his 65th year of the test, but the other players could not build on the previous success.

"We want to win every game," said Stokes. "It is disappointing to end, but the first two tests were crucial for us."
