England 129/6 in 34.2 Overs | English vs. NZ 1st Test Day 2 live: Harry Brook departs as England lose fourth wicket – The Tech Word News

ENG vs NZ, 1st Test Day 2 Live: Few players could have imagined a better return to Test cricket than the one Ollie Robinson produced on the opening day at Lord’s. Playing his first Test since February 2024, Robinson tore through New Zealand’s top order and left the visitors struggling at 61-6 at stumps. The fast bowler needed just one over to completely change the mood of the match. He dismissed Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra in the same manner, sending the Lord’s crowd into celebration after a tough day in which they watched England bowled out for just 140. Robinson finished the day with remarkable figures of 4-10 from six overs.

The conditions certainly helped the Mariners, with a lot of cloud cover and movement off the field, but Robinson had to make the most of the conditions. His performance was also emotional as it marked a successful return after a long absence from Test cricket. Reflecting on the moment, Robinson said: “It feels a bit surreal, I never dreamed I’d be back. It was so loud. I was a bit dazed and just trying to focus. The crowd was amazing, it’s one of the loudest I’ve heard them here.” England will hope to continue the same form on Day 2 and help secure a first innings lead.
