New Zealand have been dealt a 65-run defeat in the second T20 cricket international at Christchurch

21 October 2025

England piled on 236 for four, belting every Black Caps bowler for more than 10 runs per over.

Opener Phil Salt top-scored with 85 off 56 balls.

He's the latest to join the Gilbert Enoka fan club with his renowned mental skills advice on offer with the side this week.

England hold an unassailable 1-nil lead in the three-match series - a dead rubber remains in Auckland on Thursday.
