Milestone, then misery - Gay reaches 50 and then gives wicket away

Emilio Gay scored 53 runs for England in the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval on June 23, 2024, marking his first Test half-century. After reaching this milestone, Gay was dismissed on the subsequent ball, caught in unusual circumstances. England's score was 142-3 in their first innings at the time of his dismissal. This performance followed a period where Gay had struggled to convert starts into significant scores in previous matches.
