- First Test, day one: New Zealand: 246-3
- Opener sets record for highest score by debutant at Lord’s
Test cricket’s return to Lord’s after a near two-year hiatus was a day to be savoured by the 6,500 or so spectators who sat dotted around the white stands like sprinkles on a 99 Flake. And for the three debutants on show, Devon Conway, Ollie Robinson and James Bracey, it was one they will certainly never forget.
Headlining the newcomers at stumps – cricket-wise, at least – was Conway. An impressive unbeaten 136 at the first attempt had seen the left-hander become the 14th New Zealand batsman to etch his name on to the honours board and, more importantly, driven the tourists to a commanding 246 for three with batting still to come.
