Joe Root’s batting prowess shone at The Oval, but England’s heavy defeat to New Zealand saw him equal Stephen Fleming’s record for most Test captaincy losses with 27. Despite a strong performance from Root, England’s depleted side, featuring three debutants, struggled against a dominant New Zealand, who secured a commanding 253-run victory. Matt Henry’s exceptional bowling proved decisive in the series-levelling win.
