The ongoing Test match between England and New Zealand has seen a great performance from the English pace duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad as the two have been impressive with the ball once again.
James Anderson once again led with the ball as he picked up three wickets for his side while fellow pacer Ollie Robinson emerged as the top wicket-taker with 4 scalps to his name. However, the story of the day was New Zealand’s wicketkeeper batter Tom Blundell who played a fiery knock to register a ton and keep his side in the game.

“I’m sort of in awe of them, These guys are greats of the game and they’re bowling at you which is a cool experience. It’s something that really gets me in fighting mode and takes me to the next level which is always nice when you’re facing the world’s best, he said.
