Jordan Cox Poised to Step Up in New Zealand Tour Amid Smith's Absence

Jordan Cox, the young Essex cricketer, is likely to make his Test debut for England on the upcoming tour of New Zealand. Cox, who is currently serving as a backup wicketkeeper to Jamie Smith on the Pakistan tour, could step in as Smith is expected to miss part of the series for the birth of his first child.

The 24-year-old Cox, who made his international debut in the T20 series against Australia earlier this year, has impressed the England camp with his talent and versatility. England head coach Brendon McCullum confirmed that Smith might play only the first Test in New Zealand before returning home.

"At this stage, it looks like Jamie will probably play the first one and may miss the next two," McCullum stated. "It would be great to have a look at Jordan Cox as well. New Zealand is a comfortable place to keep wicket."

Smith, who has become England's first-choice wicketkeeper this summer, has won eight Test caps since his promotion. He will be behind the stumps for the final Test against Pakistan, starting in Rawalpindi this week. Cox, on the other hand, has been part of the England squad as a backup but hasn’t played in a Test match yet. He joined Essex from Kent for the 2024 season but hasn’t kept wicket in first-class cricket since a serious finger injury in mid-2023.

Despite his limited experience as a wicketkeeper, McCullum praised Cox's overall abilities. "His keeping is solid," McCullum said. "He’s one of those guys who seems to excel at everything, and he's got a high ceiling in terms of talent, especially with the bat. There’s a good chance he’ll get the opportunity in New Zealand."

With the tour of New Zealand on the horizon, England is expected to finalize their squad after the conclusion of the Pakistan series. The absence of Smith could necessitate the addition of extra batting cover, although McCullum has indicated that England might not need to bring in another wicketkeeper, as Ollie Pope has previously filled in behind the stumps.

The potential changes to the squad also include the removal of spinner Rehan Ahmed, as New Zealand's conditions are not expected to favor a third spinner. Fast bowlers such as Josh Hull, Dillon Pennington, and Jamie Overton are among the contenders for the extra seam-bowling spot.

Cox is set to be among the players released from the Pakistan tour to join England's white-ball squad for the West Indies series. Olly Stone, who returned home from Pakistan last week to get married, is also expected to be available for the West Indies tour.

With the New Zealand tour approaching, England faces key decisions on how to manage the transition while continuing their momentum from the Pakistan series. McCullum remains optimistic about the team’s chances in both series, saying, "We’ll come up with the right tactics to give ourselves the best chance of nabbing the series win

England Aims for Early Breakthroughs on Day Two of First Test Against Pakistan

As the sun rises on day two of the first Test in Multan, England is eager to secure early wickets and shift the momentum in their favor. Pakistan resumes its innings at 328-4, with nightwatchman Naseem Shah at the crease. The challenge for England’s bowlers is significant, as they contend with a flat pitch and the scorching heat, making it difficult to extract breakthroughs. Chris Woakes will start the day’s bowling, hoping to capitalize on the second new ball, which is just six overs old.

Former England bowler Alex Hartley highlighted the importance of keeping up the pressure on the Pakistani batsmen, particularly against the tailender Shah. With Pakistan’s captain, Shan Masood, having scored a commanding 151 and Abdullah Shafique contributing 102, England will need to focus on discipline and strategy to limit Pakistan's total. As England's bowlers take to the field, all eyes will be on whether they can dismantle the resilient Pakistani batting lineup early in the day.

The first day of the Test proved challenging for England, as they faced relentless batting from Pakistan. However, Woakes managed to take a crucial wicket by dismissing Babar Azam late in the day. With the match still finely balanced, the visitors will aim to restrict Pakistan to under 450 runs and seize the initiative as the game progresses.
