England embarrassed by Henry as NZ secure huge win to level series

New Zealand secured a 253-run victory against England in the second Test at The Oval on March 10, 2024, leveling the five-match series at 1-1. The tourists achieved this by taking the final five wickets required in the first hour of day five. Matt Henry was instrumental in the win, finishing the match with 11 wickets. This result represents a significant defeat for the England cricket team, often referred to as "embarrassing" by commentators due to the margin of loss and the manner in which the lower batting order collapsed. The series will now be decided in the final Test.
