New Zealand openers Martin Guptill and Tom Latham have ensured that New Zealand did not lose any wickets against England on Day Two of the first Test at Lord’s. England were earlier dismissed for 389, as they managed to add just 35 runs to their overnight score of 354 for seven. James Anderson, Stuart broad and Mark Wood have tried their best to get a breakthrough but have not been able to do so far. Live Cricket Score England vs New Zealand 2015, 1st Test at Lord’s, Day 2
Earlier, New Zealand bowlers did a clinical job to bowl New Zealand under 400. Trent Boult picked up a couple of wickets and Matt Henry picked up the final wicket, which ensured that both bowlers finish with four wickets apiece. England will be happy to have recovered from 30 for four after Alastair Cook, Gary Ballance, Adam Lyth and Ian Bell were dismissed cheaply. Wood dismissed Guptill caught at slips, but he had overstepped and it was adjudged no-ball. Live Scorecard: England vs New Zealand, 1st Test, Day 2
Ben Stokes scored a good counter-attacking 94-ball 92 and put on 161 runs with Joe Root for the fifth wicket, which helped England recover from an embarrassing score. Root unfortunately finished with 98, falling two runs short of a well-deserved century. Jos Buttler too finished with 67 and Moeen Ali scored 58 and England got to a respectable total.
