‘I think we’ve been outperformed here, simple as that’

England's assistant coach Paul Collingwood expressed disappointment after the team was thoroughly "outperformed" on the second day in Hamilton.

Hostile Spell of Bowling

A "really hostile spell of Test bowling" saw England get shot out for 143 inside 36 overs, with William O'Rourke's spell picking three wickets in eight balls, including the important wickets of Joe Root and Harry Brook.

Key Performances

Matt Henry led New Zealand's attack to a four-wicket haul, including the wickets of England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett in five balls.

Team's Response

Collingwood acknowledged that England were in a difficult position, trailing by 240 runs with seven wickets in hand and Kane Williamson unbeaten overnight on 50. However, he backed his players to find a way out of the situation, citing the team's ability to turn matches around in the series.

Outlook

Collingwood remained optimistic, stating that with a side full of match-winners, it's only a matter of time before they break through and turn the match around.
