England

Vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 3 LIVE Score: Rain prevented any play before lunch in the first Test at Lord’s on Saturday, June 6, as England looked to go 1-0 up in a three-match series against New Zealand.

The Black Caps were struggling at 36/3 in their second innings at Friday’s close, needing a further 218 runs to reach a target of 254 after England pacer Gus Atkinson struck twice and Josh Tongue dismissed key batter Kane Williamson.

England’s strong position in their first Test since a 4-1 Ashes series defeat Down Under also owed much to debutant Emilio Gay.
