England vs New Zealand

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.

Ben Foakes and Stuart Broad will get things moving on Day 2 as the hosts trail by 16 runs. ENG vs NZ Live Score, 1st Test, Day 1: The opening day of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord's saw bowlers dictate the proceedings. The 23-year-old dismissed Kane Williamson on 2 as New Zealand were packed for 132 after opting to bat first.

England's bowling performance was as bright and optimistic as the weather, but once again their batting let them down in a display reminiscent of their ...

No evidence was offered up here either as he was dismissed tamely for seven in his first knock in the new position as he feathered an edge behind from the towering Jamieson. With the popularity of the Ashes and the fact that tickets will inevitably sell out regardless of price, this will be a major test of MCC’s public relations. By the end of the innings, Anderson had three more wickets – Tom Latham, Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee – as he took four for 66 overall. Williamson is the No 3 ranked Test batter in the world but he could nothing about the 85 miles per hour delivery from Potts that kissed his bat and was skilfully gathered by diving England wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. For on a sun-drenched day at Lord’s, England’s bowling performance was as bright and optimistic as the weather. Will Young, victim of a spectacular low catch from Jonny Bairstow at third slip, was the scalp for England’s all-time leading wicket-taker in the third over of the day. In all the hosts lost seven for 97 in the final session as New Zealand’s bowlers stormed back. Joe Root, captain Ben Stokes, Alex Lees and Potts all perished during that mad passage of play. Thefirst day of the first Test of the summer. You wonder if you really are up to it despite the 35 wickets culled for Durhamthat got you through Ben’s door. That moment when the skipper chucks you the ball and says, here you go son, you’re on. Yet the end result was still the same.

England began the Ben Stokes era with a chaotic day of cricket Lord's, with 17 wickets tumbling on a frantic start to their first Test against New Zealand.

Anderson bouncing out both Jamieson and Southee in between meant he and Potts were vying to make the honours board. The 23-year-old from Sunderland certainly offered a point of difference from the big two, even if he operates at a similar pace. Hustling in from the Nursery End, his fifth ball nipped away from Williamson, feathered the edge and offered Ben Foakes his first dismissal at home. Certainly Anderson and Broad hit a rich groove with the new ball, the pair bowling the lengths that Joe Root was still demanding during the final days of his captaincy to vaporise New Zealand’s top order. Zak Crawley had played a princely 43 only to fall to the latest booming drive of his nascent Test career, while Alex Lees dug in for 25. Stokes walked out for the toss alongside Kane Williamson, eschewing the captain’s blazer; instead he chose to wear a Test shirt with the name and cap number of Graham Thorpe on the back, a touching tribute for the team’s former batting coach who remains seriously ill in hospital.

Only opener Zak Crawley passed 30 for the home side, with a breezy 43. Low and away to his left," said former New Zealand quick Simon Doull on the Sky Sports broadcast. "This is superb.

“It was a familiar story, I’m afraid. There’s plenty of work still to be done - technically, mentally and positionally,” Hussain wrote. “For all the good work done in the field, the day ended with a feeling of ‘here we go again’ ... some habits are hard to break,” Drury wrote. Meanwhile, the Telegraph’s chief sports writer Oliver Brown wrote in his column that England’s batting is “brainless” and “runs too deep” for a simple change of regime to fix overnight. “No matter how much good work Stokes did in the first half of the day, he was reminded in the second half that England’s Test batting is still a big issue. Former England captain Nasser Hussain wrote in his Daily Mail column that it was a “pity” to see England’s “old failings with the bat come back to haunt them”.

The World Test champions were dismissed for 132 before England, in the first of this three-match series, slumped to 116-7 by stumps.

Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. England must produce a brand of cricket to excite supporters, Broad said Tuesday, with the team’s first Test under new leadership failing to sell out any of its opening four days at Lord’s. 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. London: 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 on Thursday. 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.

Recently though almost all of England’s woes have centred on their inability to perform with the bat, once again here on Day One at Lord’s it was no different. First England’s inability to finish off a side’s lower order reared its head, from 45/7 New Zealand made 132 all out – by no means a disaster but nevertheless a significant easing of pressure. A small sample size it may have been, but anyone who thinks McCullum has not already spent time drilling his players on the importance of standards in the field must not have been paying attention during his time as the New Zealand skipper.

He’s got to go.” Ha. I have a hunch that this may be a dig at the Rootosceptics. Morning everyone and welcome to the second day of the Stokes-McCullum era. In which other sport can we say we hope the second day will be as good as the first? Broad jabs the second ball to backward point for a single, leaving Foakes to play out some dots.

The first ball of the day is bouncer that flies legside for four (bonus) byes. England had reached 75 before the second wicket fell and from them on it was a mini-collapse, which turned into the full blown thing. He gets two with the same shot the next delivery and England have a lead of eight. "A lot of my success is down to my family. He does that and gets a single in the process. Latham goes for a quick single second ball, Stokes grabs the ball and hits the wickets but Young ran well on the call and is safely in. The captain gets a single next ball, and last ball of the over Latham punches through the overs down the hill for four. He edges the first ball, but it falls short of second slip. This is a decent wicket, there aren't snake in the pitch as Boycott used to say, and the modern great gets three the next ball with a decent push through the covers. Potts comes on and his first ball is cut for four by Latham, that was a bit of a loosener. Familiar failings from the England batsmen as ball continues to dominate bat. There are four slips and a backward point as the great Jimmy Anderson comes in to bowl.

James Anderson struck early as England made the perfect start in the second innings of their series opener against New Zealand at Lord's on Friday.

“I see a lot of good stuff there. They had reduced New Zealand to 45 for seven before the World Test champions recovered to 132 all out, with debutant paceman Matthew Potts taking four wickets for just 13 runs in 9.2 overs. The leg-spinner then played one of the best shots of the innings, driving Southee down the ground for four before he was last man out, caught in the slips off Boult. England made it two wickets as Matty Potts dismissed Kane Williamson for the second time in the Test, leaving New Zealand 30-2 after 11 overs. England were eventually dismissed for 141 in reply to New Zealand’s 132, with veteran quicks Tim Southee and Trent Boult polishing off the home side’s tail. James Anderson struck early as England made the perfect start in the second innings of their series opener against New Zealand at Lord’s on Friday.

James Anderson and England debutant Matthew Potts picked up four wickets each, before Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Kyle Jamieson thwart the run chase.

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. Anderson and Stuart Broad, England’s two most successful Test bowlers of all time, with over 1,000 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. New Zealand left-arm quick Trent Boult, who only arrived in England on Monday after playing in the Indian Premier League final, took two for 15 in 10 overs and the towering Jamieson two for 20 in seven. “It was nice to get some wickets early on and settle the nerves,” Potts, who had New Zealand captain and star batsman Kane Williamson caught behind with just his fifth ball in Test cricket, told Sky Sports. England debutant Matthew Potts took four wickets against New Zealand only for the hosts to collapse as well on a dramatic opening day of the first Test at Lord’s on Thursday. Prior to this three-match series, there had been talk of England making a fresh start under their new Test leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper.

England looked to be putting a string of poor results behind it with a rousing bowling display before being reduced at 117/6 at stumps with 17 wickets ...

The latter helped himself to seven boundaries and looked in control until he was caught behind for 43 off the nagging Kyle Jamieson. 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. 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 12-4. 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. Jonny Bairstow leapt into action, diving low to his left to pull off a one-handed stunner. He was replaced by leg-spinner Matt Parkinson, who became England’s first-ever Test concussion substitute after making a late dash from Manchester.

England can depend on ageless James Anderson but Parkinson is unfortunate that his introduction coincided with a New Zealand fightback.

There would be two more boundaries in the over but Anderson was back in the thick of it, pushing, probing like the warrior he is to try to wrestle back control in a Test match. There is little new to say about a bloke bearing down on 650 Test wickets, save to point out he is one day closer to his 40th birthday at the end of next month. It took a thick edge off the first ball off his final over of the spell to break Anderson’s grip. Though Parkinson might fail a Hollywood screen test, he does not lack for grit and took to this strange environment nervelessly, sending down six overs for 21 to end a session in which New Zealand managed 90 runs for the loss of just one wicket. He would have to wait until Friday morning for the privilege of punching England into the lead with his first runs in Test cricket. Then Jack Leach face planted in front of the pavilion to radically alter the complexion of Parkinson’s weekend.

In the first appearance of Ben Stokes as England's skipper, neither New Zealand nor England managed to reach the 150-run mark in the first innings.

"The governing body-ICC is allowing India to produce whatever they wish and it is Test cricket that is getting hurt. Despite the presence of big names like Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes in both the sides, the first day saw a fall of 17 wickets as seamers dominated the proceedings. The first day of the first game in New Zealand’s tour of England made us recognise a new performer.

Mitchell and Blundell end the day on the verge of centuries as England's early momentum crumbles.

This was the first time since 1954 no player had scored a fifty in either side’s first innings at Lord’s and only the third time since 1888. Tom Blundell became the first batter in this match to reach a half-century when he drove Potts through point for four early in the final session. Kane Williamson must be sick of Matt Potts after he was dismissed by him for the second time in 24 hours. Once again it was James Anderson, 40 next month, who got him, finding the edge that flew into the gloves of wicketkeeper Ben Foakes as New Zealand slipped to seven for one. The leg-spinner’s first runs moved England into the lead and he ended up with eight as the hosts took a slim first-innings advantage. It was Anderson who knocked over the firstNew Zealandwicket on day two, just as it had been 24 hours earlier, spearheading a 40-over rout already lost in the mists of time.
