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

Matt Henry to Will Jacks, FOUR, England win. Pakistan stay alive by the "barest of all margins" as Ian Smith would say. This is a slower and short of length, dug in at Will Jacks, who is early into the pull, misses, off the helmet and goes to the right of short fine, well wide of him, runs away. England are all smiles. Replays show that it was off the helmet-grille. The umps got that wrong, should've been legbyes. Anyway it doesn't matter now

Matt Henry to Rehan Ahmed, 1 run, Rehan Ahmed comes down the track and it's another slower-ball off-cutter and hammered into the pitch, Rehan pulls wide of mid-wicket who dives to his right but deep mid-wicket is there

Matt Henry to Will Jacks, 1 run, slower-ball off-cutter and short of length on off, Will Jacks goes on the back foot and pulls to deep mid-wicket. Just one

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

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

Matt Henry to Phil Salt, out Caught by Tim Seifert!! He is torture! He takes it away, brings it in... all from the same spot. Give him a pitch where the ball moves and he breathes fire. Now he points at someone and roars as he celebrates. Salt has experience of playing in Sri Lanka and is a key batter for England to get a good start given that Buttler is struggling for runs. But Matt Henry prises him out by bowling a length ball again. Got it to nip away. Salt with no feet tried to play through cover-point and nicked off. Phil Salt c Tim Seifert b Matt Henry 2(4)

Matt Henry to Phil Salt, no run, oh beaten! Wobble seam fullish in length to tease Salt for the big hit. Ball jags away sharply to miss the outside edge. Salt wanted to loft over mid-on

Matt Henry to Phil Salt, 2 runs, outside edge rolls along the ground past the man at slip to third man. The wobble seam length delivery, Salt hangs just outside the crease and brings the bat down to defend. Thick edge escapes

Matt Henry to Phil Salt, no run, soft check for LBW. Nips back in from good length but it started too straight and finished down the leg-side
