Cricket took a back seat momentarily as Lord's stood and applauded in a touching gesture for Shane Warne during day one of the first Test between England ...

Stokes and Jonny Bairstow both fell for just one apiece, before Boult brought Potts back down to earth by removing the newcomer for a duck in his first Test innings. Potts finished with superb figures of 4/13 in 9.2 overs and Anderson, who had earlier reduced the World Test champions to 2/2, took 4/66 in what was England’s first match under their new leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and red-ball coach Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper. Cricket took a back seat momentarily as Lord’s stood and applauded in a touching gesture for Shane Warne during day one of the first Test between England and New Zealand on Thursday night (AEST).

England and New Zealand cricket fans unite at Lord's to pay an emotional tribute to Australian cricket legend Shane Warne. Watch the video.

His swing was too good for Stokes, whose hopes of a captain's innings lasted just nine balls and ended with a hopeful grope at one that curved away and into Blundell's gloves. Jamieson then made short work of Ollie Pope, whose bold promotion to No. 3 yielded just seven runs and ended with an edge to the wicketkeeper. The latter helped himself to seven boundaries and looked in control until he was caught behind for 43 off the nagging Kyle Jamieson. His fifth delivery in the international arena had Kiwi captain and star batter Kane Williamson edging low to keeper Ben Foakes to leave his side in disarray at 4-12. Jonny Bairstow leapt into action, diving low to his left to pull off a one-handed stunner. Warne wore the number 23 during his cricket career.

Lord's rose as one to pay tribute to the late, great Shane Warne after 23 overs on day one of the first LV= Insurance Test between England and New Zealand.

When you have a chance to captain someone like Shane Warne you learn things." It shows you the fragility of life and that you have got to enjoy it. He was a terrific fella and is a great loss to the game.

The spin king stopped a chaotic Test match in its tracks, after the historic Lord's cricket ground unveiled a special tribute.

“A lot of my success is down to my family. It was a great kind of achievement. It’s a testament to their hard work as well as mine. Nice to get some wickets early on to settle the nerve. “A little bit of a tear in the eye early on this morning and I can imagine my mum and dad would have had a tear in theirs as well.” We bowled aggressively and looked to take wickets,” Potts told Sky Sports.

Warne died of natural causes on March 4 this year while on holiday in Thailand, aged 52. With the Kiwis sitting 37-6 on Day 1, both sides paused and everyone inside the stadium stood in tribute, applauding the Australian cricket legend. Play was halted after the 23rd over of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord’s to pay tribute to the late Shane Warne.

While it is hard to crack in and get a consistent spot, it's a wonderful problem for Australia to have." "I think it is (as hard as ever to win a Test fast-bowing spot), especially with Scott doing as well as he did. And in the end, it happened." "If I'm looking at the all the positives of playing the Australia A four-day stuff, it's a great (re)introduction for me. "I see gaming as a really good escape from the stresses of cricket and travelling. But the way it's heading, it can be a genuine career path.

He was a terrific fella and is a great loss to the game. We have lost a great mate and a guy that endeared himself to the English public,” he told Sky Sports. He played everything to win but everything for fun. I think that's why people right around the world warmed to him.” “They probably started out hating him because he took too many wickets but, by the end, they absolutely loved him.

In order to play Test cricket you have to the structures in place domestically and they don’t really exist, so I can’t really see women’s Test or long-form cricket evolving at any speed at all.

Durham youngster shows he's made of the right stuff for this new era after dismissing the great Kane Williamson in his first over and taking a handful more ...

Though he might have bowled himself out of a bash with the blade in this contest, such is the stranglehold England took on an exhilarating first morning, which included a 23-second salute to the late Shane Warne after 23 overs. That is just the kind of attitude this new England is looking to foster. He took his cap from Durham grandee Steve Harmison and had skipper Stokes, the king of Durham himself, 20 metres to his left at mid-off. The first day of the first Test of the summer. Potts was persuaded to focus on bowling by the Durham coaches on the premise he might fill out in the manner of his father, who stands 6ft 8ins tall. Since he loves batting as much as bowling he was never out of the game.

Jonny Bairstow was also out fot a single before Boult brought Potts back down to earth by removing the newcomer for a duck in his first Test innings -- the last of a remarkable 17 wickets that fell in the day’s play. Anderson and Stuart Broad, England’s two most successful Test bowlers of all time, with 1,177 wickets between them prior to this match, had both been controversially left out of a 1-0 series loss in the Caribbean earlier this year. Crawley had looked in superb touch, with the best of his seven fours a straight drive off Tim Southee. But after he was caught behind off Jamieson, wickets tumbled. Potts took a superb four wickets for 13 runs in 9.2 overs, a reward for a challenging line and length, with recalled England pace great James Anderson returning figures of four for 66 in 16. England debutant Matthew Potts took four wickets against New Zealand only for the hosts to collapse as well on the opening day of the first Test at Lord’s. But this was a reminder there are no quick solutions to the fundamental batting weakness that has contributed to England winning just one of their previous 17 matches at this level, a run that has left them bottom of the World Test Championship table.

New Zealand wrapped up England's first innings before Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell ended the day on 97 and 90 as the tourists took their lead to 227.

Parkinson sent down 14 overs across three spells and Blundell, skittish with his footwork at first, appeared to be a stumping chance. More pressing for England and their new captain, Ben Stokes, is a lead that currently sits at 227 runs. Mitchell was not far behind either, needing four fewer deliveries and a nudged single off Broad to reach this particular staging post. England fielded with the energy expected at the start of the summer and a new regime but as the day wore on, there was a creeping sense of the Test match getting fully away from them. And unlike pitches that rag from the outset, surfaces that initially seam can also ease over time. Mitchell got his chance here after a calf injury and Covid-19 left Henry Nicholls cursing his luck, while Blundell spent years acting as the understudy to Watling behind the stumps.

England's batting woes have left it 16 runs behind New Zealand on the first day of the opening Test in London.

Due to what Cricket ACT described as "tight fiscal controls and careful management of expenditure", it posted an operating profit of $670,922. But the reality of Australian cricket's power structure and finances is something close to the opposite. "What our client was subjected to as a young boy and the impact it has had on his life is simply heartbreaking. Our client had dreams of a future in cricket. Those hopes and dreams were destroyed by this predator." In the decade before his stint in Canberra, King had also coached elite Western Australian junior representative teams.

ICC chair Greg Barclay has warned of a reduction in Test cricket in the near future and says the format is not "part of the landscape" in the women's game.

"Some countries may have to make room and play less Test cricket. "To play Test cricket, you've got to have structures domestically that allow you to play long-form cricket and they don't really exist in any of the countries at the moment, so I can't really see women's Test cricket or long-form cricket evolving at any particular speed at all," he said. Some of the smaller full members will have to accept that they can't play the amount of Test cricket that they wanted to, so we may see a lessening of that - four or five a year - whereas England, Australia and India, I think, will be playing Test cricket as they are now."
