England and New Zealand Exchange Dominant Bowling Spells on Day 1 at Lord's Test

Analysed 5 Jun 2026·12 sources analysed·England, United Kingdom·Sports
England and New Zealand Exchange Dominant Bowling Spells on Day 1 at Lord's TestPreviousNext

In the first Test at Lord's, England struggled with their batting, collapsing to 140 all out against New Zealand, with Harry Brook scoring a lone half-century. New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson took five wickets, while England's Ollie Robinson made a strong comeback, claiming four wickets for 10 runs, including three in his opening over, as New Zealand slumped to 61-6 by stumps. England rested Jofra Archer to manage workload, and the match featured challenging conditions favoring seam bowling and interruptions due to rain and bad light.
