WATCH: Trent Boult Unleashes Mayhem With a Remarkable Five-Wicket Haul in The 3rd ODI – ENG vs NZ 2023

 England’s Ben Stokes unleashed a fur masterclass during the third ODI against New Zealand at The Oval in London, wreaking annihilation on the Kiwi bowlers. Trent Boult was the only tableware filling for the Blackcaps in an else dismal performance.

England’s original struggles and Boult’s early success
New Zealand’s Tom Latham won the toss and tagged to field first, gaining an advantage in the game. still, England’s launch was lower than ideal, with Boult striking in the veritably first ball of the innings. Jonny Bairstow was the first to depart as he darted the ball off his toes, transferring it straight to backward forecourt. Devon Conway made an exceptional springing catch to his left to dismiss Bairstow. The troubles continued for England as Joe Root was sailed out by Boult for just 4 runs. Root’s footwork was set up wanting as he left the gate open, and the ball, bending back late, cannoned off his inside edge and into the leg refuse. Root replied with a tone- of admonishment as he threw his head back in frustration. These early lattices left England at 13/2 in only the third over of the match.

Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan’s spectacular partnership nevertheless, a remarkable 199-run cooperation between Stokes and Dawid Malan for the third gate turned the drift of the game and placed immense pressure on the New Zealand bowlers. Boult struck again, dismissing Malan in the first ball of the 31st over. Boult’s delivery down the leg side was collected by wicketkeeper Latham. The New Zealand players appealed for an out, but the judges gestured it as wide. nevertheless, Latham decided to review, and the renewal easily showed contact between the ball and the club, leading to the decision being capsized.

Stokes and Buttler boost England’s total

Stokes concluded his innings with a phenomenal score of 182 out of just 124 balls, which included 15 fours and 9 outsides before being dismissed by Ben Lister. A late gem from Jos Buttler( 38) further bolstered England’s aggregate, allowing them to surpass the 350-run mark.

Boult wraps up the innings
In the last ball of the 47th over by Boult, Sam Curran launched the ball towards the deep cover region, where it fell safely into the hands of Conway. The left-arm leader claimed his final gate by going around the gate and delivering a full, straight delivery that Atkinson tried to sweep but ended up offering a catch to the fielder. England sailed out for 368 in 48.1 overs. Boult’s record-breaking feat
Boult secured a five-gate haul, marking his sixth similar achievement in ODI justice for New Zealand. This outstanding feat propelled him past the fabulous Sir Richard Hadlee, who held the record with five five-gate hauls.

Glenn Phillips stands altitudinous amidst New Zealand’s struggles

In pursuit of 369 runs, New Zealand’s batters encountered a gruelling task as Reece Topley and Chris Woakes extorted annihilation at the top of the order. Woakes, in particular, proved ruinous by claiming three of the first four lattices, pushing New Zealand into a dire situation at37/4

Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell compactly sustained the innings, adding 33 runs for the fifth gate before Curran reckoned for Mitchell’s redundancy. Amongst the New Zealand batters, only Phillips appeared at ease, contributing a well-earned 72 runs from 76 deliveries. still, the remainder of the fur lineup plodded to make an impact, performing in their eventual collapse for an aggregate of 187 runs. England surfaced victorious by a commanding periphery of 181 runs, seizing a 2- 1 lead in the four-game ODI series.
