6 Jun
Summary
- Ollie Robinson took three wickets in his first over at Lord's.
- England defended a modest 140-run first-innings total.
- New Zealand was bowled out for 113 in their first innings.
In the first Test at Lord's, bowlers have dominated a challenging pitch. England managed only 140 runs in their first innings, with captain Harry Brook scoring a resilient 58. New Zealand's bowlers, led by Kylie Jamieson with five wickets, performed well.
However, England's bowling attack then seized control. New Zealand was dismissed for 113, conceding a 27-run lead. The standout performer was Ollie Robinson, who achieved a rare feat by taking three wickets in his opening over of the innings. This remarkable achievement places him in an elite group of bowlers in Test cricket history.
Robinson's spectacular start included dismissing Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, and Rachin Ravindra. This performance follows similar early over heroics by bowlers like Nuwan Zoysa, Irfan Pathan, Scott Boland, and Mitchell Starc. Josh Tongue also contributed with three wickets for England, further stifling New Zealand's efforts.
