The blackcaps are flying high before the WTC Final as New Zealand bowlers Matt Henry and Neil Wagner run through the batting lineup of England, putting the hosts in the backward position. Despite some much-needed contributions from Oily stone and Mark wood, England could only gather a lead of 37 runs at the end of day three.
Some senseless shots and a beautiful bowling display ensured the blackcaps remained in the driving seat for the better part of day three. If New Zealand succeeds in winning the game, it would be their first win on English soil in 22 years. After the end of day three, England stands at 122 for 9 wickets, making the match just a mere formality.
