Ben Stokes Injured During Third Test Against New Zealand

England captain Ben Stokes faces uncertainty regarding his participation in the ongoing third Test against New Zealand after sustaining a left hamstring injury while bowling on Day 3. Stokes, who previously tore the same hamstring in August, limped off the field in visible pain after delivering just two balls of his 13th over, raising concerns in the England camp. His injury is particularly worrying as it follows a heavy workload during the series, where he has already bowled 66 overs. New Zealand capitalized on Stokes' absence, led by Kane Williamson's unbeaten century, extending their lead to 478 runs. With England already leading the series 2-0, the focus now shifts to Stokes' fitness ahead of future commitments, including the Champions Trophy in February and the Ashes next winter. The match continues under pressure for the England side, which is struggling against New Zealand's dominant performance.
