England v New Zealand: Ollie Robinson ruled out of second Test

England’s second Test against New Zealand is jeopardized by fitness issues, as Ollie Robinson is ruled out with right knee soreness. The setback follows Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson being unavailable amid an investigation into a London nightclub incident, creating a need for up to five changes to the XI for the Oval match. Robinson’s absence is particularly significant given his return to international cricket after a two-year layoff, during which he took seven wickets in the first Test. England expect Jofra Archer to reclaim a pace slot, with Archer having trained at The Oval, while selections to replace Stokes will shape the rest of the side ahead of the third Test at Trent Bridge beginning 25 June.
