ENG versus NZ first Test
Thanks to a glass of beer or broken glass of beer, a cricket fan watching the 2nd Test between England and New Zealand became an immediate online sensation. Yes, you read that correctly. A female fan was enjoying her pint of beer on the opening day of the 2nd Test between New Zealand and England at the magnificent Trent Bridge pitch in Nottingham when a shot from Daryl Mitchell spoilt her moment. Daryl Mitchell was the hitter who hit the ball over the long-on region, and the six fell straight into the pint of beer of a surprised female fan.
After the all-rounder followed up a four with a six straight into the bleachers off a Jack Leach ball in the 56th over at Trent Bridge, one commentator screamed, “It’s dropped in a drink.” The splashdown was readily seen thanks to slow motion television replays.
Nearby England seamer Matthew Potts signaled his teammates what had happened by imitating a glass and hoisting a fake pint from the boundary.
“Come on, Jack, don’t make him talk. People are spending a fortune on beer in the stands because of this “On the BBC commentary, former England spin bowler Phil Tufnell cracked a joke. The supporter was given a replacement pint when the Black Caps accepted the call.
The Black Caps had bought the fan a replacement pint, according to England’s Barmy Army fans’ club’s Twitter feed.
Mitchell was the greatest hitter for the Black Caps on the day, scoring 81 runs to put New Zealand in a commanding position at 318/4. New Zealand got off to a flying start after winning the toss and electing to bat first. Openers Tom Latham (26) and Will Young (47) put up 84 for the first wicket. Before being dismissed, Devon Conway (46) and Henry Nicholls (30) both played effectively.
On Day 2, Mitchell and Tom Blundell will resume the innings on 81 and 67, respectively. Ben Stokes and James Anderson each took two wickets for England.
