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.
Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell produced a formidable middle-order partnership. The reigning world Test champions were 236-4 at the end of day two, thanks to a 180-run stand between Mitchell (97 not out) and Blundell (90 not out). All-rounder Mitchell and wicket-keeper batsman Blundell stepped up to put their team back in the contest after New Zealand's top-order, including skipper Kane Williamson (15), failed to make an impact.
You have to go back to 1888, the days of WG Grace and the summer when Jack the Ripper was terrorising London’s East End, for the only two-day Test match at Lord’s. This is the 139th Test at the ground since Percy McDonnell’s Australians beat England by 61 runs and for a good while it looked like a second quickfire affair was in the offing.
LONDON (Reuters) - Fast bowlers continued to dominate the first test at Lord's as New Zealand were reduced to 38-3 in their second innings, leading the hosts by 29 runs at lunch on the second day of the first test at Lord's on Friday.
