England vs New Zealand, 49th Match, Super 8 Group 2 (Y1 v Y2), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Glenn Phillips to Harry Brook, out Caught by Daryl Mitchell!! Glenn Phillips is jumping around in delight. It's tossed up full outside off, Harry Brook backs away and the bat turns on the loft, wanted to hit it a lot squarer, and holes out to long-off. Simple catch to Mitchell. Brook flings the bat in the air and walks away. He is shadow-practicing the shot as he trudges back. A wicket first ball for Phillips. Brook wanted to go over extra-cover but the ball hitting the bottom of the bat. Big wicket as Brook was the man in form. Harry Brook c Daryl Mitchell b Glenn Phillips 26(24) [4s-3 6s-1]

McConchie to Harry Brook, 1 run, slapped to extra-cover

McConchie to Harry Brook, FOUR, look at those wrists that let him played a straight batted lofted cover drive while backing away. Short ball from McConchie, seemed like it slipped from the hand. Brook moved leg-side to access the off-side and those rubber wrists take control to get under the ball and get four audacious runs

McConchie to Harry Brook, no run, reverse sweep. Was uppish but fell just short of Matt Henry. Oh that was mighty close and for a moment he was worried

McConchie to Harry Brook, 2 runs, this is cricket of the highest skill. This is the powerplay but here is Brook picking gaps and nudging twos with zero risk. Just great awareness of the field and the talent to just nudge in the gap soft enough to take two

McConchie to Harry Brook, 2 runs, short and turning back in, flicks and picks out the big gap behind square and the excellent placement gives him two

Mitchell Santner to Harry Brook, leg byes, 1 run, slower through the air, Brook misses the nudge, ball rolls to short mid-wicket off the pad

Lockie Ferguson to Harry Brook, no run, yorker following the batter, Brook digs it out

Lockie Ferguson to Harry Brook, FOUR, have that, Lockie! Full delivery from Lockie Ferguson, Brook backed away to carve that away through cover-point. Again brilliantly timed and to the left of Rachin who is there for the catch

Lockie Ferguson to Harry Brook, no run, appeal for LBW as Brook misses the scoop and gets hit on the pad. It was the slower ball from Lockie Ferguson but it wasn't straight enough

Lockie Ferguson to Harry Brook, no run, oh high full toss that followed Brook as he backed away, Brook was surprised and just fended at it

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, SIX, oh is this the shot of the tournament? You got to give this to Brook for having the clarity to ensure he's not letting Henry bowl at one spot. This was a full delivery on the stumps, Brook moved across the line and scooped it not to fine leg but over square leg and he's hit the giant screen. He just flicked it with the wrists and played that off balance

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, FOUR, and now he backs away to slap this over cover-point. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Brook slaps it over the infield and gets the boundary of the over

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, fullish and on the pads, Brook flicks to mid-wicket and sets off. Jacob Bethell sends him back and the throw is off target at the striker's end. He would have been in though

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, beaten! Now Henry bowls a short of length delivery that nips away, Brook pokes in his defence off the back foot as it opens him up. So lucky not to have edged that to the keeper

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, oh he's almost scooped it onto his own box! Matt Henry follows Brook as he moves across to scoop, inside edge onto body

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, now he gets right behind the line and defends the length ball

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, wide, now Brook tries to move across and try the scoop and that forces Matt Henry to fire it down the leg-side

Lockie Ferguson to Harry Brook, 1 run, just like New Zealand have a plan to not bowl slot, Brooks is having a plan to not let the bowlers bowl to their original plan. Steps out while backing away, Lockie Ferguson drags his length back. Brook swings and gets a thick edge that threatens to escape to the fine leg fence but Sodhi dives to the right and saves three

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, oh almost bowled! Henry hides his face with both hands as he thinks how did that miss the stumps? Brook tries to unsettle the bowler off his line by stepping out but Henry smartly follows him and also ensures he's not offering anything full for Brook to connect with the lofted cover drive. Ball moves away to beat the outside edge and just flew past the leg stump

Matt Henry to Harry Brook, no run, good length delivery, Brook defends
