New Zealand vs England: New Zealand was fined 114 runs, such a harsh punishment for one mistake

The New Zealand team is currently playing a test match against England in Christchurch. On the second day of this match, England batsman Harry Brook scored a wonderful century. Harry Brook was unbeaten on 132 runs and by the end of the second day's play, England had scored 319 runs for 5 wickets. Obviously, the England team is in a very strong position but let us tell you that the reason for this is New Zealand's poor fielding. Due to this fielding, New Zealand also lost 114 runs which is like a penalty. Actually, New Zealand's best fielder Glenn Phillips dropped a catch of Harry Brook and New Zealand suffered the loss.

Harry Brook, who scored a century in this match, was given not one or two but three chances by the New Zealand team. Harry Brook's first catch was missed at 18 runs. In the 23rd over, Glenn Phillips missed a catch in the gully off Nathan Smith's ball. After this, Harry Brook added 114 more runs in his innings, which New Zealand must be missing a lot.

Harry Brook missed 3 catches.

By the way, the surprising thing is that the New Zealand team dropped a total of 3 catches of Harry Brook. After getting a chance in the 23rd over, Harry Brook gave New Zealand a chance to catch in the 33rd over as well but this time Latham made a mistake. Brook got a third life in the 51st over. This time Devon Conway dropped his catch on Phillips' ball. New Zealand also gave life to England captain Ben Stokes. Stokes dropped a catch in the covers on Nathan Smith's ball in the 70th over and once again Latham made a mistake.

Harry Brook took full advantage of New Zealand's mistake. He completed 7 centuries in the 22nd Test match itself. Not only this, he also completed 2000 runs in Test cricket. He reached 2000 runs in just 36 innings which is the second best performance from England.
