Rory Burns News

England lost two of their opening wickets before dinner for 34 runs after bowling Australia out for 303 runs.

The Aussies took a massive 237-run first innings lead in the Day-Night Test match. Starc made the most of the Pink ball picking up 4 wickets.

It was vindication for left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc after his place in Australia’s much-vaunted pace attack was called into question in the run-up to the series. 

England opener Rory Burns was dismissed off the first ball of the Test, Mitchell Starc hitting the base of his leg-stump with a searing yorker. 

Olly Stone (20) shared a vital 47-run partnership with Lawrence before being trapped lbw by Ajaz Patel. Burns and fellow opener Dom Sibley ensured that the hosts negotiated the opening session of a home test without the loss of a wicket for the first time since 2011. New Zealand made six changes to the team that drew the first Test at Lord’s with Latham captaining the side for the third time in the absence of regular skipper Kane Williamson due to a niggling elbow injury.

England finished day two of the first Test at Lord's on 111-2 and trail New Zealand by 267 runs in the first innings after Devon Conway's double ton took the game away from the home side on Thursday (June 3). New Zealand were bowled out for 378 after lunch as England`s fast bowlers cleaned up the middle order and tail but they were left frustrated by number 11 Neil Wagner (25 not out) who helped Conway set his record score. Conway's 200 is the highest score on debut at Lord`s and the opener reached the milestone with a six over long leg. He nearly carried his bat but became the last wicket to fall when he was run out by mere millimetres. Here we take a look at action from Day Two of the first Test through these collection of pictures.
