New Zealand vs England, 2nd ODI, England tour of New Zealand, 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Santner to Brook, out Caught by Will Young!! That's a sharp catch at backward point and the dangerous Brook has been sent packing - a loose shot from the England captain, but this is a spectacular one-handed grab, diving to his left by Will Young. This was dropped short and wide of off - Brook was on the front-foot as he chased the drive, all hands and he doesn't bother to keep it down - was travelling and to his left, but Young threw himself, went with his left hand and grabbed a beauty. Brook can consider himself unlucky, on another day, this would've raced away to the boundary. Brook c Will Young b Santner 34(34) [4s-3 6s-1]
