Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips Ruled Out of New Zealand's Third Test Against EnglandPreviousNext

New Zealand's third Test against England at Trent Bridge will proceed without key players Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips due to injuries sustained during the second Test at The Oval. Henry is sidelined with a calf muscle strain, expected to require two to four weeks of recovery, while Phillips is out with a side strain, with his return timeline yet to be determined. New Zealand has made three changes, including the return of Mitchell Santner, as Kyle Jamieson is rested. England has reinstated Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson after their absence in the previous match.
