🏏ICC WC 2023: M1 - England vs New Zealand on 05/10/23 at 2 PM IST🏏 - Page 19

ENG: 51-1 after 10 overs

Over summary 1-10

-> Bairstow gets England off to a quick start, scores 12 runs in the first over

-> Matt Henry bowls a fantastic over, starts with a maiden against Malan

-> Boult and Henry bowl a few economical overs

-> Bairstow breaks the shackles, scores consecutive boundaries against Henry

-> Latham puts down a caught behind chance, drops Malan's catch

-> Henry draws first blood, Malan is caught behind in the next over

-> Bairstow brings up England's 50 with a rollicking boundary

Badhat: "I know it's early doors but good to see Root knocking the singles right from the start as that seemed missing from those early overs, felt like BOOM over the rope or bust, rather than Root's ability to keep things ticking with minimum risk. Let's hope he plays himself into form here" Indeed. He was a bit frantic in the home series. He's better off burgling his 30 from 30 without anyone noticing him

ENG: 54-1 after 11 overs

Trent Boult [3.0-0-21-0] is back into the attack

Thejus: "Even 96 WC opened with NZ v Eng and Astle scored a century! Payback time for England?" Bizarre isn't it. A different world back then. Same ground in the literal sense, but the Sardar Patel Stadium wasn't quite this vast!

11.3 Boult to Root, SIX, to third man

END OF OVER 12. 7 runs
