New Zealand and England are currently playing against each other in the first game of the two-match Test series. Both teams are playing an international match after quite a while. However, no player looked rusted when they took the field and looked to be on top of their game.

Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat first at Lord’s. Opener Davon Conway proved his decision right by scoring a sublime hundred on debut. He found a good ally in Henry Nicholls who scored a fighting half-century as well.

After being in a strong position, New Zealand’s innings saw a collapse and went 288/3 to 317/8 in no time. Conway was still going strong and was nearing a double ton on debut. After Tim Southee’s wicket, Neil Wagner joined him in the middle. Everyone thought Wagner may not be able to hold the fort and allow Conway to reach the milestone.

However, Wagner proved everyone wrong and started playing good shots as soon as he came on the pitch. He didn’t take time to set his eyes and went after bowlers to score vital runs. Meanwhile, he smashed England’s new vice-captain Stuart Broad for a six over long-off, which left everyone in awe.

Wagner played a handy cameo of 25 runs, which came in just 21 balls. In the process, he scored three fours and one six to give a massive boost to NZ’s total.
