Stokes and Santner clash in third Test over England dismissal

During the second day of the third Test between England and New Zealand, a dispute erupted when Mitchell Santner was dismissed after a delivery that appeared to catch his glove. Santner himself was convinced the ball had contacted his pad instead. The dismissal was credited to Ben Stokes and marked his 250th Test wicket.

A tense situation arose on the second day of the third Test between England and New Zealand when Ben Stokes claimed his 250th Test wicket, but the decision immediately sparked controversy.

Mitchell Santner was dismissed off a delivery that appeared to have caught his glove according to television coverage. Santner disagreed with the decision, insisting that the ball had touched his pad rather than his glove, which would have meant he should not have been given out.

The two players exchanged sharp words following the decision, with Stokes suggesting that time would tell who was right. The incident added an emotional dimension to an already tense match.

For Stokes, it was a significant personal milestone. 250 wickets in Test cricket is a testament to his value both as a batter and bowler. The England captain has become one of Test cricket's key players in recent years.
