Ben Stokes’ Injury Overshadows England’s Struggle Against New Zealand in Third Test
England faces a significant defeat in the third Test against New Zealand, further complicated by captain Ben Stokes re-aggravating a left hamstring injury. Stokes left the field in distress during his bowling spell, just when New Zealand was building a formidable lead led by Kane Williamson’s century. With a daunting target of 658 set, England ended the day at 18-2, while the focus now shifts to Stokes’ long-term fitness as they look to play out the match amid dry weather forecasts.
