The first Test between England and New Zealand ends in a DRAW!It was written all over given how England approached the second session. They were in no hurry to chase the target as New Zealand's bowlers failed to make inroads. The wickets only came towards the end of the session when Rory Burns and Zak Crawley were sent back. Joe Root and Sibley did a good job adding 80 runs, effectively batting out New Zealand. Root fell, but Sibley carried his bat until the end unbeaten on 60 as England ended with 170 for 3. It could've been a different game had Day 3 not had been washed out.

Although the game ended in a draw, Tim Southee starred with a six-wicket haul in the first innings against Rory Burns's fighting 132 will be remembered. The teams have three days until the final Test of the series, the decider in some way. Thank you for your company across the five days of the Lord's Test. Do join us for the next one at Edgbaston. Until then, goodbye.
