Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 5: There was a collective weariness at Trent Bridge on Day 5 from all apart from the impressive New Zealand team. A sparse, quiet crowd saw the Kiwis' depleted attack take out the Test and series, and they look good value to get some big results out of the next 12 months. The 160-run win was inspired by their Day 1 run-fest and a bloody-minded 2nd innings century from a battered and bruised Daryl Mitchell. England’s efforts today will further bring into question how they approached yesterday evening, and furthermore, the futures of McCullum and Key. Ben Jones and Daniel Norcross.
