New Zealand profited from winning the toss by taking four England wickets on the first morning of the first cricket test at Lord’s on Thursday.
Matt Henry took two wickets on debut, including England captain Alastair Cook, and Tim Southee and Trent Boult one each.
England, 30-4 after an hour, counterattacked in the second hour when Ben Stokes joined England player of the year Joe Root, and combined for an unbeaten 83 runs at more than six per over.
England fought back to be 113-4 at lunch, Root on 49 not out, and Stokes on 36.
