| 5.2 : 5.2: Stuart Broad to Devon Conway, FOUR! Fantastic shot! Pitched up on off, Conway punches it firmly through the covers. The fielder at short cover puts the dive in but the ball evades him and rushes towards the boundary rope. The first one of the Test and that looked like a confident stroke from the debutant! |
| 6.1 : 6.1: James Anderson to Devon Conway, FOUR! Another excellent shot by Conway. Pitched up this time, around off. Conway drives it through the cover region, as the ball rushes towards the ropes. Conway has started off in a good manner here. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Ollie Robinson to Devon Conway, EDGY FOUR! A length ball outside off, Conway shows the full face of the bat. But the ball takes the outside edge and runs thorugh the gap between point and gully for a boundary. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Stuart Broad to Tom Latham, STREAKY BOUNDARY! Just managed to get some control of the shot, to get it past the man there. A back of a length ball, around off, Tom Latham looks to block, but the ball takes the outside edge, goes past the second slip and into the third man fence. |
| 14.1: Stuart Broad to Tom Latham, FOUR! Beautiful shot! It was a bit of a gift from Broad and Latham scores a boundary. On the pads, good length, Tom Latham just eases his flick through the square leg region. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Ollie Robinson to Tom Latham, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Finally, this opening stand has been broken and after starting off in a solid manner, Latham has to depart. This is Robinson's first Test wicket at the home of cricket and this is just what the hosts needed. Angles across a good length ball across the left-hander, Tom Latham is half-forward, possibly confused if he should commit to the shot or no. In the end, he lets his angled bat hang and the ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Mark Wood to Devon Conway, FOUR! Beautifully driven. A length ball on off, Conway drives it past the mid off fielder and the ball ends up reaching the ropes, as Stuart Broad tried to give it chase and gave up midway. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Mark Wood to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Clinical! A length ball outside off, Kane leans into the shot and drives it gently through the covers for a boundary. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: Mark Wood to Devon Conway, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Back of a length ball on off, Conway pulls this one hard towards deep mid-wicket. The fielder coming in from fine leg dives to his right to make the stop but makes a mess of it as the ball ends up in the boundary. |
| 22.1 : 22.1: Mark Wood to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Smacked! A length ball outside off, Kane drives this brilliantly through the covers for a boundary. |
| 25.4 : 25.4: James Anderson to Kane Williamson, OUT! TIMBER! What a big wicket for the home side and Anderson gets the better of Williamson for the seventh time in Tests. Just after the Lunch break too and the timing of this wicket is perfect. A good length ball, around off, Williamson was late into his defense and connects it with the toe end as the ball bounces and goes on to rattle the off stump. An early breakthrough after Lunch, that's exactly what England were looking for and Williamson goes bac |
| 31.6 : 31.6: James Anderson to Ross Taylor, FOUR! A well played stroke to end the over. A fuller length ball on off, Ross Taylor times his drive through mid on and even though the player gives chase, the ball wins the race to the ropes. |
| 34.6: Stuart Broad to Devon Conway, FOUR! Conway gets his maiden FIFTY in style! Fullish delivery outside off, Conway drives it handsomely past the extra cover region for a boundary. A solid start by Devon Conway in his very first Test match! |
| 37.5 : 37.5: Ollie Robinson to Ross Taylor, OUT! LBW! Ollie Robinson breaks Taylor's defense and gets his second man for the day. He is having a great debut so far. A length ball on off and middle, the ball nips back in as Taylor wanted to defend it but he misses as the ball pings him on the pads. A loud appeal for LBW, and the umpire takes no time to raise his finger. Taylor comes ahead, has a chat with his partner, but then, decides that the review does not seem like it can save him and just walks b |
| 48.1 : 48.1: Joe Root to Devon Conway, FOUR! Well played! Loopy ball on off, Conway pushes it past mid on as the ball reaches the boundary line before the fielder can chase it. |
| 56.1: Ollie Robinson to Devon Conway, FOUR! Just past the man there. A short of a length ball, on the pads, straying down, Devon Conway looks to clip this one to the leg side but only manages a tickle, as Zak Crawley dives to his left but the ball evades him and goes to the fine leg fence. |
| 57.3 : 57.3: James Anderson to Devon Conway, FOUR! Tucked away nicely! A length ball on off, Conway shuffles and flicks it deep mid-wicket for a boundary. It beats the man at short mid-wicket. |

| 60.2: Ollie Robinson to Devon Conway, FOUR! What a way to get his maiden hundred at Lord's. 100 up for Devon Conway. A fuller delivery, on the pads, Conway uses his wrists and flicks it wide off deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |

| 61.1 : 61.1: Mark Wood to Devon Conway, DROPPED AND FOUR! Back of a length delivery on middle, Wood gets some extra bounce on that one.

| 80.1 : 80.1: James Anderson to Henry Nicholls, FOUR! Well played by Nicholls. A length ball, on middle and leg, Nicholls hops and tucks it away through mid-wicket for a boundary. Not the start they expected with the new ball in play. |
| 84.3 : 84.3: James Anderson to Devon Conway, FOUR! What a shot! Conway is in some form here. A touch fuller, outside off, some width offered and Conway uses it to his benefit. He cuts it through the cover-point region. Boundary. |

| 97.2 : 97.2: Mark Wood to Henry Nicholls, OUT! CAUGHT AT FINE LEG! Mark Wood has his first of the English Summer and it is Henry Nicholls. Relief for England here as this partnership was going strong and taking the game away from the hosts. Wood steams in and bowls a short one around middle, Nicholls looks to play the pull but gets in all sorts of a tangle. It takes the top edge and flies to fine leg where Robinson moves to his right a bit and takes the catch. |
| 101.3 : 101.3: Mark Wood to BJ Watling, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent delivery from Wood and Watling does not have a good outing in this innings! Good catch from Dom Sibley as well. England are coming back nicely now. Wood bowls a full ball on off, Watling looks to flick but gets an outside edge and it goes to second slip where Sibley bends down and takes a good catch. It was travelling fast and Sibley reacts quickly. |
| 104.2 : 104.2: Ollie Robinson to Colin de Grandhomme, OUT! LBW! What an outstanding review from England! On the naked eye, it looked like there was bat on it but no, there was a huge gap as per the replays. Brilliant delivery from Robinson and Colin de Grandhomme goes for a duck. Good length ball on off, it angles in after pitching. De Grandhomme looks to defend but seems to have gotten hit on the pads. It seemed that there was an edge first but England do not think so and put up a huge appeal for LBW. |
| 105.5 : 105.5: Mark Wood to Mitchell Santner, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one goes down! Santner too goes without opening the account. England are roaring back in the game. This is turning out to be an excellent session for England. Full ball on off, Santner looks to push at it but is early into the shot.

England just 2 wickets away from bowling New Zealand out. |

| 121.6 : 121.6: Mark Wood to Devon Conway, SIX! DOUBLE HUNDRED ON DEBUT FOR CONWAY! What a dream debut it has been for him. A double ton at the Home of Cricket is special in itself but to get it on debut is just magical. This has been a fabulous innings from him. Conway has looked classy, comfortable, and at ease at the highest level. An innings for the ages from Devon Conway. He gets to his double ton with a biggie. What a way to get to your double ton on debut at Lord's! He becomes just the second New |
| 122.4 : 122.4: Joe Root to Neil Wagner, OUT! RUN OUT! Conway's bat was on the line and that ends the Kiwi's innings! Full on middle, Wagner whips it to deep mid-wicket and calls for two. Ollie Pope runs across, collects the ball and throws it to Joe Root, who collects and misses to whip the bails the first time but manages to do it in the second but has that given Conway a chance to make it back in? No, as the third umpire checks various replays and then deems it that Conway's bat was in the line. New Z |

The ball zips past the bat and finds the outside edge. The ball carries through to Ross Taylor at first slip. A wicket off the first delivery and Joe Root has to depart. Kyle Jamieson strikes early.

The Kiwis appeal for a possible LBW but the umpire nods his head. Williamson straightaway signals 'T' and it is sent upstairs. The Ultra Edge confirm |

This is Jamieson's first wicket away from home and this is a brilliant delivery to get Sibley out. He bowls a fullish ball on off, Sibley looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads.

Southee strikes again and the visitors are on top. A good length ball, around off, but the ball seams back in sharply as James Bracey looks to drive this one. Bracey misses and the ball sneaks in between the bat and pad and the off stump goes for a walk. Brilliant, brilliant work from Southee and he will be looking fo |
