Hilarious Moment Occurs Broadcasters In Christchurch
A hilarious moment took place with England’s broadcasters TalkSport, who reportedly lost their camera gear while covering the match. The items which are lost are suspected to have got lost overnight and the incident came into light on Day 3 of the match on November 30. TalkSport cricket editor Jan Norman shared an official tweet on his official ‘X’ handle which read, “We’ve had a break-in. We’ve lost our cameras and we won’t be able to broadcast via the talkSPORT cricket Youtube channel today. There will be audio but no pictures. We’ve had nothing but hospitality the customary New Zealand way all week, but sadly this is bad news to wake up to.”
Getting back to the NZ vs ENG 1st Test, England put up a total of 499 runs in their first innings in reply of New Zealand’s 348 runs. At stumps on Day 3, the Kiwis are 155/6 wherein Kane Williamson played an innings of 61 runs from 86 balls. The Kiwis are certainly in a bit of a trouble ahead of the Day 4 of the NZ vs ENG 1st Test and they will now look forward to put as much runs as they can and put the visitors under pressure.
