The first Test of the two-match series between England and New Zealand ended in a draw at the Lord’s cricket ground on Sunday. After Day 3 being washed out without a ball being bowled due to rain in London, the match was well on the verge of a draw, but on the final day, New Zealand scored over 100 runs in the first session and set the hosts a target of 273 runs yo reach in 75 overs.

Rather than going for the win, England played a defensive brand of cricket and that helped them to draw the game. Former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer took to Twitter to express his views on England’s batting on the final day of the Lord’s Test.

Tweeting a popular meme for the Bollywood film, ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, Wasim Jaffer wrote: “If you won’t even try to chase a target of 3.6 an over at home with no WTC points at stake, when will you ever try? Not a good advert for Test cricket #EngvNZ @ECB_cricket.”
