England Bowled Out for 143 in Third Test

England's cricket team suffered a catastrophic batting collapse in the third Test against New Zealand, bowled out for just 143 runs in 35.4 overs, trailing by 204 runs after New Zealand's first innings of 347. Will O'Rourke was the standout bowler for New Zealand, claiming three key wickets in a devastating spell, including that of Harry Brook who fell for a golden duck. England's batting woes continued as they lost their last eight wickets for only 66 runs, with spinner Mitchell Santner contributing significantly by taking three wickets. The collapse highlighted England's ongoing struggles in series finales, as they have consistently underperformed in such matches throughout the year. New Zealand's bowlers, particularly Matt Henry who took four wickets, capitalized on England's fragility, leaving them in a commanding position by the end of the day. Despite having already secured the series, England's inability to maintain momentum in the final Test raises concerns about their batting consistency.
