New Zealand (NZ) has been hosting England (ENG) in an exciting Test series where the visitors have had the upper hand so far. Having won the first Test of the series, England was riding high in confidence and carried on in the second Test. Many players are getting a 'dream come true' chance to play along with their idols present in both teams. Recently, the legendary James Anderson, who is now a coach with the English side after retiring from international cricket, has been gaining much attention after a video went viral on social media. During the second Test, some young players have started their careers and have tried to show potential. One such player is England's new batting sensation, Jacob Bethell. After missing out on a well-deserved century, the batter was back in the hut and resting. Anderson tried to lighten up the mood of his team by coming up with a "ghost scare" prank against the youngster. Interestingly, the legend almost pulled off the act successfully. In the same vein, a video of him scaring Bethell was posted by England Cricket on their social media handle. The clip, shot from inside the English dressing room during their ongoing Test against New Zealand, had Bethell getting pranked and, as a result, producing quite a few chuckles from his teammates. The mastermind behind the amusing shenanigan was James Anderson, England's current bowling consultant.

Only then did he spring up from a reclined posture after he was visibly startled by the frightening revelation.

On the crease are Joe Root and Ben Stokes, who will resume their side's second innings on the third day. They will be keen on notching up their tons during Day 3 and not missing out like Ben Duckett and Bethell, both of whom were dismissed by Tim Southee for 92 and 96, respectively. Earlier in the magnificent day for the visitors, Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse finished with respective four-wicket hauls to skittle the Kiwis 125.
