Watch: Neil Wagner smashed a cracking six off Stuart Broad's spell in the ongoing Test at Lords
The top contenders of the ICC World Test Championship Finals New Zealand are currently engaged with England in a two-match Test series. The 1st Test of the two-match series has started this Wednesday at The Lord's stadium in London. Besides, these two games will help the Kiwi's to adapt to the conditions in England.
But India doesn't have enough time for practice and might face difficulties during the WTC Finals. Talking about the 1st Test between England and New Zealand, the skipper of the side, Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bat first.
They got a fine start to their innings as Tom Latham and the debutant Devon Conway added 58 runs for the first wicket partnership. Ollie Robinson picked the first wicket for his team and sent Tom Lathan back to the pavilion.
Devon Conway's maiden double century and Neil Wagner's cracking six:
Kane Williamson joined with Devon Conway but failed to contribute with the bat. He went back to the pavilion with the numbers of 13 and Ross Taylor also followed him after scoring 14 runs for his team. Then Henry Nicholls played a crucial role in the middle and steadied the ship along with Devon Conway. Both the batsmen added 174 runs for the fourth wicket partnership.
This time Mark Wood did the job for England by removing Henry Nicholls for 61 runs. But Devon Conway stood strong on the other end and continued to dominate the opposition bowlers all around the park. Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood went through the lower order and cleared all of them with single-digit scores. Then came Neil Wagner who played a quick cameo off 25 off 21 balls.
