First test, Lord’s: England 140 all out in 39.4 overs (Harry Brook 56; Kyle Jamieson 5-62, Nathan Smith 3-38) vs New Zealand 61-6 (Glenn Phillips 31 not out; Ollie Robinson 4-10). Click here for full scoreboard.
An initial good day’s work almost wiped out in alarming fashion.
Recalled seamer Ollie Robinson stole the spotlight off returning New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson to push the Black Caps once more onto the back foot in a test against England.
Robinson, in his first test since February 2024, took three wickets in four balls in his first over of the first test at Lord’s overnight (NZ time) to reduce the visitors to 3-2.
It didn’t get much better for the Black Caps as three further wickets fell before stumps, but an unbeaten 31 from Glenn Phillips at No.7 did boost them to 61-6 after a a truncated day’s play in London, and with major concerns also over the leader of their quick-bowling unit.
