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

Will Jacks to Finn Allen, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Both openers gone in consecutive overs after the powerplay. Such a soft dismissal this one. It's tossed up on leg, Allen flicks it in the air and it's straight to deep midwicket. Did the ball hold up on him? Has to be the case because there's no other explanation about what he was trying to do. Finn Allen c Jacob Bethell b Will Jacks 29(19) [6s-3]
