Test cricket will resume in England with the home-side taking on the visiting New Zealand side in a three-match Test series. The first Test match will be played between June 2 and June 6 at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground in London and is expected to be a cracker of a contest.
The Three Lions will be under the new leadership of star all-rounder Ben Stokes and the coaching role will be headed by former Kiwi player and veteran Brendon McCullum. The English side will be boosted by the return of their experienced pace duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.
The visitors on the other hand lost the practice game against a meek-looking side. Under the leadership of skipper Kane Williamson, the Kiwi side will want to put up a good fight against England. To note, the visitors will be without their key batter and veteran Ross Taylor as he took retirement the recently.
Pitch and conditions:
