इंग्लैंड vs न्यूजीलैंड, पहला टेस्ट, लॉर्ड्स, लंदन, 04 June 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

Tongue begins with a gentle loosener, full and outside off at 84 mph, it curls away a bit as well. Ravindra looks at it after pressing forward and then leaves it for the keeper.

FOUR! That's a lovely way to get off the pair. Full and around off, angling into the batter, and Ravindra is quickly into position. He leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and drives beautifully through mid off. The timing is exquisite, and the ball races away to the fence. A classy stroke to open his account, and one that will ease any nerves.

Back of a length, on off, defended off the back foot.

Shortish and outside off, left alone.

This one is fired in at 88 mph with a bit of extra pace behind it, but the line is well outside off stump. Ravindra watches it closely all the way and is happy to let it pass. An easy leave and nothing to trouble the batter there.

That was nearly costly. Josh serves it on a good length outside off, the ball jags and wobbles a touch after Ravindra shoulders arms. Smith cannot gather it cleanly behind the stumps, and it trickles away behind him. For a moment, it threatens to run into the unattended helmet on the ground, placed behind the keeper, but it misses by a whisker. A bye is taken, and England escape without the five-run penalty. The replays show that Root had reacted to his right to stop the ball with a dive and on closer look, it appears that the ball anyway was heading wide of the head gear.

Gentle hands at work. Length delivery outside off, Ravindra brings an angled bat into play and pushes it softly through the gap between gully and backward point. Two taken. 203 needed more.

Nearly takes the outside edge. Robinson serves it on a length and around off, angling in and staying low as well. Ravindra pushes inside the line and is beaten around the toe end of his bat.

Beaten again! This one is quite wide outside, and could have been left alone without any threat. But Rachin Ravindra gets on the front foot, tries to push at it and misses.

Shortish and on off, angling in, this time Rachin Ravindra goes on the back foot and blocks it down.

Fuller and on off, angling in, Ravindra wrists it towards short leg and the fielder there fails to stop. The ball goes in the wet outfield and they take two.

  OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Robinson had beaten Ravindra on a couple of occasions in this over and this time he has found the top of the off stump. Not the first bowled dismissal of this Test match and believe us, not the last either. A beauty from the bowler, and Ravindra is left rooted to the spot. Angled across from a probing length just outside off, the ball straightens enough after pitching to find a way through. Ravindra's footwork is caught in between, neither fully forward nor properly back, and he ends up hanging on the crease. He pushes tentatively inside the line, only for the ball to whistle past the outside edge and crash into the stumps. The timber is disturbed, and New Zealand lose their fourth wicket at a crucial stage. Ravindra departs after being drawn into indecision, and England tighten their grip on the contest. The visitors still need another 201 runs, while England are now just six wickets away from taking a 1-0 lead in the series.

What was that! That one reared up like a spitting cobra. Pitched in the corridor outside off, it explodes off the surface and climbs sharply at Conway. Caught by surprise, he attempts to sway out of the way while also half-thinking about playing at it, but ends up doing neither convincingly. The ball flies past him, leaving the batter beaten by both the bounce and the pace off the pitch.

Shortish and on off, dabbed down in front of the slip cordon.

Ouch, that would have hurt! A lively delivery once again. Back of a good length around off and shaping in, Conway presses forward to defend, but the ball kicks up unexpectedly after pitching. It climbs sharply and strikes him high on the gloves, forcing him to take his bottom hand off the bat immediately. The surface has certainly come to life, and batting is becoming an increasingly uncomfortable task.

Around off on a length, defended from the back foot.

Extra bounce again, around off, DC defends it to the leg side with a loose bottom hand.

Sliding down the leg side, Conway tries to clip it late but misses. It goes off his pads to leg gully. End of a testing over.

Robinson bowls it on a length and outside off, Daryl defends it off his front foot.

Ollie Robinson bowls it on a length and close to off, angling in, Daryl Mitchell stays on the back foot and defends it down.

OUT! GIVEN LBW! The moment the keeper came up to the stumps, it added another layer of pressure on the batter. Mitchell could no longer freely leave his crease to counter the movement, and Robinson makes full use of it. He slips in an inswinger from a probing length around off, beating the inside edge of the defensive push. Mitchell's footwork leaves him stranded, neither fully forward nor comfortably back. The ball thuds into the pads, the appeal goes up, and the finger follows almost immediately. Mitchell reviews, hoping for a reprieve, but the replay only confirms England's celebrations. Impact is in line, and Ball Tracking shows it is clipping the leg stump. Umpire's call stays. New Zealand are now five down, with another 201 runs still required. England, meanwhile, are halfway to the ten wickets they need.

Identical to the wicket delivery, but Tom Blundell is lucky to get some bat on it as he clips it behind square leg for a single.

In the zone outside off, skidding away, Conway pushes at it and misses.

Fuller and on off, shaping in, Conway is not looking convincing as he defends it from the inner portion of his bat. 

Full and outside off, 140 kph, zoning in threateningly, Tom Blundell watches it closely all the way and blocks it off his front foot towards point.

On a good length this time, outside off, Blundell pushes it towards the slip cordon, with an open bat face. Ben Duckett dives to his right from third slip and makes a half stop. Blundell looks for the run but gully comes across quickly.

This time, Tom gets the run. Back of a length, outside off, the batter stays back and dabs it towards gully with soft hands. Calls for the single and Conway's immediate response makes the single comfortable. For the numbers, New Zealand now require under 200 runs to win.

A bouncer, but misdirected. Down the leg side, from around the wicket, Devon Conway ducks comfortably.

Better line and length. Fuller and closer to the off stump, 140 kph, Conway shoulders arms.

Tongue targets the pads but gets it too straight. Devon looks to flick but falls over a touch and misses, getting hit on the pads. Going down the leg side.

Shaping into the batter, from a good length around off, Tom Blundell defends from the back foot with Jamie Smith standing up to the stumps.

Excellent accuracy from Ollie Robinson. He lands it on a testing length in the line of the stumps, and the ball keeps a little low after pitching. Blundell is quick to adjust, crouching into his defense and getting his bat down in time to smother it. 

Serves it on a length, on off, Blundell gets forward and defends it to the off side.
