New Zealand Defeats England in Third Test

England suffered a heavy defeat to New Zealand, collapsing to just 143 all out in the third Test match held in Hamilton. Will O’Rourke and Mitchell Santner led New Zealand's bowling attack, with O’Rourke taking three wickets in a devastating spell and Santner finishing with three for seven. This performance echoed England's struggles in previous Ashes series against Australia, where similar tactics from pace and spin bowlers led to their downfall. England's batting woes were highlighted by Harry Brook's golden duck, marking a disappointing start to his tenure as the world's number one batter. Despite a bright start from Zak Crawley, England quickly lost their last five wickets for just nine runs in a dramatic collapse. New Zealand's commanding lead of 204 runs left England's weary bowlers with little chance of recovery, raising concerns about their performance as they approach the end of a grueling series.
