England rule Ollie Robinson out of the second Test against New Zealand after he suffers soreness in his right knee. Multiple outlets report that the injury affects his availability for the match, leading to him not featuring in the starting XI. Coverage also notes that England faces selection complications following his latest setback, with discussion in some reports indicating he was considered an injury doubt prior to the final decision. BBC, Sky Sports and other sources describe the same cause for his absence: right-knee soreness. One report also states Robinson undergoes a knee scan, reflecting England’s assessment process before confirming the outcome. The outlets collectively reference that Robinson had a strong impact in the first Test, where he is described as having produced a player-of-the-match performance, but this does not change the decision for the second game. With Robinson unavailable, England must adjust their bowling options ahead of the fixture against the Black Caps.
