Earlier, Matthew Potts struck twice shortly after New Zealand wiped out England's slender first-innings lead, as he sent Kane Williamson and Tom Latham packing. Earlier, England took a narrow 9-run lead as they were bowled out for 141 on Day 2. (LIVE SCORECARD)

England vs New Zealand, 1st Test: New Zealand fight back on Day 1 after debutant Matthew Potts strikes for England

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. The World Test champions were dismissed for 132 before England, in the first of this three-match series, slumped to 116-7 by stumps. Pre-match, there had been talk of England making a fresh start under new Test captain Ben Stokes and recently-appointed red-ball coach Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper.

Nothing new about that, of course, only this time felt a little different: the greeting seemed like an endorsement - and a repudiation, therefore, of England’s two highest wicket-takers being dropped from the tour of the West Indies in March.
