Debutant beats Joe Root, this happened for the first time in the year 2024

Joe Root Clean Bowled England vs New Zealand: The England cricket team is currently on New Zealand tour and the first Test of the three-match series is being played in Christchurch from 28th November. In this clash, Joe Root, who is called the backbone of English batting, is out on the score of zero. This wicket of Root is also memorable because he was dismissed by Nathan Smith, who made his debut for the Kiwi team. Another interesting thing for debutant Nathan was that in the same over in which he dismissed Joe Root, he dismissed Jacob Bethel on the score of 10 runs on the first ball.

Let us tell you that host New Zealand recovered from a bad start in this match and succeeded in scoring 348 runs in the first innings. In reply, England quickly lost the wicket of Zak Crawley who could not even open his account. On the first ball of the 15th over of the innings, right arm fast bowler Nathan Smith got Jacob Smith caught by Tom Blundell at the score of 10 runs. Just 2 balls later, Root was unable to read the bounce and the ball hit his bat and hit the stumps.
