Gus Atkinson leads England’s thrashing of New Zealand

  • England have won their first Rothesay Test against New Zealand at Lord's by 115 runs after falling short of their target of 254.
  • Gus Atkinson was the star man and finished with 5-30 after removing Smith, Jamieson, and last man Henry.
  • Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway provided some resistance for New Zealand this morning, with the former left stranded on 44 not out.
  • Persistent rain limited play to under 10 overs on the third day but Robinson took two crucial wickets to give England a strong advantage heading into the fourth day.
  • The Lord's pitch proved challenging for batters, with irregular bounce and significant seam movement throughout the first Test match.
