Lee WalkerMay 25, 2015

England pulled off a famous victory over New Zealand on the final day of the first Test at Lord’s.

The tourists, set 345 to win, were dismissed for 220 in their second innings as Alastair Cook's side pulled off a 124-run victory in a topsy-turvy encounter.

Stuart Broad removed final man Trent Boult, with just 57 balls left in the match, as England took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

In the morning, England resumed their second innings on 429-6 and added 49 runs in 11 overs before being dismissed for 478 with Boult taking all four wickets.

Boult finished with 5-85 with Cook (162) caught behind and Broad (10) and James Anderson (0) clean bowled with Moeen Ali (43) trapped lbw in between the new ball pair.

That meant the tourists had 77 overs to reach the target, but they had a torrid start with Anderson and Broad removing openers Martin Guptill, caught at slip, and Tom Latham, trapped lbw, for ducks in the opening seven balls.

The Black Caps were teetering on 21-3 at lunch, as Broad trapped Ross Taylor (8) plumb in front with a full delivery, and the focus would have switched to saving the match rather than winning it during the adjournment.

It was 45 minutes into the afternoon session before England made another breakthrough as Sunday’s century hero, Ben Stokes, took two balls in as many deliveries.

Joe Root, who dropped Taylor earlier, held a good catch in the gully as first innings centurion Kane Williamson (27) fended at a lifting delivery before a vicious in-swinger cramped captain Brendon McCullum for room and he played on.

Corey Anderson decided that attack was the best form of defence, and he brought up his half-century off just 44 balls as NZ reached 134-5 at tea.

He shared a 107-run partnership with BJ Watling, promoted to five in the order, who batted defiantly for 59 before gloving Mark Wood to Jos Buttler behind the stumps.

Three overs later, Anderson was adjudged lbw to Joe Root for 67, and when Stokes pegged back Mark Craig’s off-stump, England were sniffing victory.

Moeen Ali took a sharp return catch off Tim Southee (20), as England went into the final hour needing just one wicket, and it was Moeen who took a superb catch at third man to seal the victory.

The teams head to Headingley for the second match of the series, which begins on Friday.
