Gus Atkinson Five-for Guides England To 115-run Win Against New Zealand In 1st Test
After New Zealand: Fast bowler Gus Atkinson continued his love affair with Lord's, taking yet another five-wicket haul in the second innings as England registered a dominant 115-run win against New Zealand in the first match of the three-match series at the iconic stadium.
Chasing a challenging target of 254, New Zealand resumed on 55/5 on the third day and never seriously threatened the chase despite improved batting conditions compared to the opening days of the match.
England struck early on Day 4 when Josh Tongue removed Tom Blundell with a superb delivery, leaving the visitors further behind in the contest.
