The Black Caps are hopeful injured seamer Matt Henry will play a further part at Lord’s this week.
Henry managed just four overs on day one of the opening test against England in London on Thursday night (NZT), before he left the field with back spasms.
While there is no time line on the possibility of him again bowling in the test, fellow bowler Kyle Jamieson, who shared the new ball with Henry, was hopeful.
“It’s a shame for him to go down and hopefully we’ll get him back at some point in this test match,” Jamieson said at stumps.
He was the bright spot for the Black Caps during a rain-interrupted yet fast-moving opening day of the three-test series.
