HARRY Brook was delighted with the contribution of “awesome” Jofra Archer but was disappointed with England’s batting display in a five-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the second ODI in Hamilton.

A superb burst from Archer on his way to three for 23 off 10 overs could not help England defend a below-par 175, as Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten 56 helped the Black Caps take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
England’s top-order struggled with Joe Root (25) and Harry Brook (34) only able to spend significant time at the crease. Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell and Jos Buttler were again out cheaply before 42 by Jamie Overton gave the tourists a faint hope of an unlikely win to keep the series alive.
