A huge slice of luck for birthday boy Ben Stokes and a classy innings from Joe Root moved England into a winning position on a gripping third day at the first LV= Insurance Test at Lord’s.
New Zealand head to Nottingham for the second test against England with pride wounded and their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign on a knife-edge after a deflating loss at Lord's.
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has backed Joe Root to surpass Sachin Tendulkar as test cricket's leading run scorer even though the England batter is still nearly 6,000 short of the Indian great's haul.
Less than a year after beating India at the same venue to claim the inaugural WTC trophy, New Zealand's five-wicket defeat on Sunday left them seventh in the standings and another setback at Trent Bridge could prove terminal for their title defence. The Black Caps could do with all hands on deck to turn things around, but are unlikely to have all-rounder Collin de Grandhomme available for the match starting Friday after he suffered a heel injury while bowling on day three.
Joe Root said the England Test captaincy had taken a toll on his personal health after he guided his side to a memorable five-wicket win against New Zealand on Sunday in his first match since relinquishing the role. The 31-year-old stepped down as skipper in the aftermath of England's 1-0 series defeat in the Caribbean in March, which came on the heels of a disastrous 4-0 loss against Australia in the Ashes.
A new-look New Zealand side began their preparations for hosting the women's World Cup by coming from behind for a hard-fought 23-10 victory over Australia in the Pacific Four tournament at a rain-soaked Tauranga Domain on Monday.
Joe Root produced magic with his bat to take England to victory in the opening Test at Lord's against New Zealand on Sunday. Root became only the second Englishman and 14th cricketer in the history of Test cricket to reach the 10,000-run mark. While the former England captain's stunning achievement received widespread praise, a freaky video of Root standing at the non-striker's end is going viral.
Joe Root was the toast of the cricketing world on Sunday, as his fine unbeaten century helped England beat New Zealand by five wickets in the opening Test at Lord's to give the hosts a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Root also joined an elite list of players to score 10,000 runs in the longest format, becoming the joint-youngest along with Alastair Cook to do. Following Joe Root's heroics at Lord's, plaudits poured in from all parts of the world for the Englishman. Former Australia captain Mark Taylor too was effusive in his praise and went as far as saying that Root can very well break Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record of 15,921 runs in Test cricket.
