ENG vs NZ 2nd Test Live: Why New Zealand is making a master plan to counter Joe Root?

- The in-form England batter remained unfazed at the crease and played each ball on its merit
- Root first formed a crucial partnership with Ben Stokes and later with wicketkeeper-batter Foakes

ENG vs NZ 2nd Test: Jamieson keen on continuing his good form – One of the biggest positives for New Zealand in the Lord’s Test was the performance of Jamieson. The tall right-arm pacer picked up four wickets in the second innings and kept the team in the hunt till the very end. The 27-year-old will be keen to continue on his good form.
Within a short span, the right-arm pacer has gone to become Mr. Dependable fast bowler of the team. He is now ranked number three in ICC Test Rankings.
It’s a nice recognition of how well Jamieson is bowling, but he says it doesn’t mean much to him.
“Not a huge amount to be honest,” he said.
“I’m just trying to learn and grow as a cricketer. I guess whatever those numbers spit out, they do. “I’m happy to be a part of this side and play my part in trying to win tests for this team. For me, that’s the main driver, the main focus. “
