At stumps, along with left-hander Conway (240 balls, 16x4s), Henry Nicholls was batting on 46 (149 balls, 3x4s) at Lord’s.
Devon Conway became only the sixth player in test history to score a century on his debut at Lord’s on Wednesday, leading New Zealand to 246/3 against England on Day 1 of the series opener. The 29-year-old Conway was unbeaten on 136 to maintain the stunning start to his international career in all formats, making an array of shots, leaving well, and showing a compact defense to blunt England’s all-seam attack under blue skies at the home of cricket.
Kane Williamson, the captain of New Zealand, had won the toss and opted to bat. Robinson, though, quickly accounted for Tom Latham (23) with the team score at 58. Williamson (13), meanwhile, did not linger long. Robinson then removed Ross Taylor (14) to reduce the score to 114 for three.
