The first Test between England and New Zealand looks set for a dramatic finish, with the hosts needing 61 runs to win with just five wickets in hand and Joe Root unbeaten on 77.
LONDON :New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson grabbed three wickets as England struggled to 99-4 at tea as the visitors took the upper hand on the third day of the first test at Lords on Saturday.
Newly-appointed England skipper Ben Stokes got a massive reprieve on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at Lord's. In the 27th over of England's second innings, Stokes was castled by Colin de Grandhomme off a no-ball. On the fourth delivery of the over, de Grandhomme pitched a short-pitched delivery, but Stokes tried to pull it over the off side. However, the southpaw played it onto his stumps. But the replay showed that de Grandhomme had overstepped as no part of his heel was behind the popping crease.
LONDON (Reuters) - New Zealand grabbed the wicket of opener Alex Lees just before lunch as England began their chase of a 277-run target to win the first test against New Zealand at Lords on Saturday.
LONDON : New Zealand grabbed the wicket of opener Alex Lees just before lunch as England began their chase of a 277-run target to win the first test against New Zealand at Lords on Saturday.
LONDON : Daryl Mitchell reached his century but Tom Blundell fell agonisingly short as New Zealand were bowled out for 285 runs in their second innings on Saturday, setting England a target of 277 to win the first test at Lords.
In the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at Lord's Cricket Ground, England entered Day 3 chasing the leather as the visitors had a lead of more than 200 with Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell firmly standing their ground. In the very first over of the day, Mitchell brought up his century and it seemed like England were in for a long day with the ball. However, Stuart Broad showed his experience and he led England's fightback in the 84th over of the innings.
Assistant coach Paul Collingwood admitted England’s attempts to enter a new era remained “a work in progress” after New Zealand seized control on day two of the Lord’s Test. An unbroken 180-run stand between Black Caps pair Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell was worth more than either team’s first-innings total, leaving the tourists holding all the cards as they progressed from 56 for four to 236 without further loss.
