England claimed a decisive win against New Zealand in the opening test at Lord’s, triumphing by 115 runs. The volatile pitch conditions, featuring erratic bounce and movement, worked in favor of England, who dismissed New Zealand for 138. Set a target of 254, New Zealand resumed the day at 55-5 but faltered by lunch.

The first wicket fell quickly as Josh Tongue trapped Tom Blundell lbw. Despite a missed opportunity by Harry Brook, Devon Conway managed 41 before being caught by Jacob Bethell. Glenn Phillips attempted a counterattack but found himself without support as teammates fell cheaply.

Bowler Gus Atkinson shone with figures of five for 30, while Ollie Robinson contributed with two wickets. The series is set to continue at The Oval on June 17, where New Zealand will aim to bounce back.
