England v New Zealand: Dom Sibley fifty secures first-Test draw
England resisted the temptation of a final-day chase against New Zealand, doggedly batting through to secure a draw in the first Test at Lord's.
Perhaps a carefree attempt at a remarkable win would have been a fitting conclusion to England's first home Test in front of spectators since 2019 on a sun-drenched afternoon at Lord's. Some will argue that England should have made a better fist of the chase, but they instead chose to be on level terms going into the series decider.This has been an uncomfortable week for England for one major reason.from debutant Ollie Robinson were a direct contradiction to a message of anti-discrimination the home side displayed on the first morning.
Dan Lawrence and debutant James Bracey failed to score in their only innings, while Ollie Pope's cameos are hardly enough to guarantee a long-term place. Rain brought an early lunch and with it the surprise declaration, but there was never indication England would take the bait.
