New ​Zealand pace bowler Matt ​Henry ran through ‌England's tail ​to give his side a 233-run victory in the second test ‌at The Oval to level the series at 1-1 on Sunday.

Starting the fifth day on 182-5 chasing a notional 463 ‌for an unlikely victory, England folded quickly and were ‌all out for 209 after less than an hour of play. Henry took all five wickets in the morning, removing Joe Root ⁠lbw ​for 77 ⁠with the first ball of his second over of the day - Root ⁠adding only two runs to his overnight score.

Two balls later ​he bowled Jofra Archer for a duck and ⁠in his next over he had Matthew Fisher playing on to ⁠his ​stumps without scoring. Then with the next ball he had Josh Tongue edging to Daryl Mitchell. Henry then ⁠finished it off by bowling Jordan Cox with an in-swinging ⁠yorker to ⁠take his match haul to 11 wickets.

England have now lost six of their last ‌eight tests.
