'England have admitted they are using this as a chance to "look at new faces"...'(cricinfo)

Foakes slipped in the dressing room and tore his hamstring, and B&B are unavailable, so England will have a new keeper.

They say Boult is missing. Is he injured? NZ need him back for the final against India.


The best batsman in the world, Kane Williamson, needs 58 runs to go past Stephen Fleming's run tally. Ross Taylor leads the NZ run tally list.

"England and New Zealand have confirmed they will each field at least one debutant in the first Test at Lord's (starting tonight AEST) as English officials prepare to welcome crowds back to Test cricket for the first time since the 2019 Ashes.

New Zealand have confirmed their South African born left-hander Devon Conway will make his Test debut and open the batting alongside Tom Latham, while James Bracey will take the gloves and bat at No.7 on debut for England in the absence of Ben Foakes (injured) as well as Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow (rested)."
