CRICKET – Matt Henry produced New Zealand’s best ever bowling figures against England, taking the last five wickets in a deadly display of pace to wrap up a 253-run win in the second Test at The Oval and level the series at 1-1 yesterday.
Starting the fifth day on 182-5 chasing a huge 463 for an unlikely victory, England folded inside 50 minutes and were all out for 209 as Henry ran riot.
He took all five wickets that fell in the morning to end with match figures of 11 for 109.
Henry began his onslaught with the removal of Joe Root lbw for 77 off the first ball of his second over of the day – Root adding only two runs. Two balls later he flattened Jofra Archer’s middle stump with an unplayable ball that scuttled low.
