New Zealand<\/a>\u2019s horror first Test<\/a> at Lord\u2019s continued on day two after a missed review and multiple dropped catches. <\/p>\n

On day one, there was hope for the Black Caps after England<\/a> was bowled out for 140. <\/p>\n

However, you can only judge a batting performance after both teams have wielded willow on the pitch. <\/p>\n

The recalled Ollie Robinson<\/a> ripped through New Zealand\u2019s batters, taking 5-39 with the visitors bowled out for 113. <\/p>\n

When England started their innings and Ben Duckett was on 12, the left-hander received a reprieve when Rachin Ravindra dropped him at mid-wicket. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe barely got a hand on it,\u201d Mark Butcher said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s having a torrid time this Test match. Put down Harry Brook, made a first ball duck and has now dropped another one.\u201d <\/p>\n

Duckett didn\u2019t make him pay too much, finishing with 33 before he was caught in the gully. <\/p>\n

After lunch, another shocker came from New Zealand when Emilio Gay was trapped on the pads by Matt Henry. <\/p>\n

The Black Caps didn\u2019t review the call and Hawkeye revealed the opener would\u2019ve been out. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt would have been very interesting to know why New Zealand didn\u2019t send that upstairs,\u201d Mike Atherton said. <\/p>\n

\u201cDid somebody say it hit him outside the line? Did somebody say it would\u2019ve gone on to miss leg-stump?\u201d<\/p>\n

Then at 1-84, Jacob Bethell was dropped at gully by Devon Conway on 3 off Will O\u2019Rourke\u2019s bowling. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening to New Zealand\u2019s fielding?,\u201d Nasser Hussain said. <\/p>\n

\u201cConway twice, Rachin Ravindra twice. New Zealand fans cannot believe what they\u2019re seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bethell also couldn\u2019t make the Black Caps pay with Matt Henry bowling him on 14 off a delivery that didn\u2019t bounce at all. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything Jacob Bethell could do about this,\u201d Stuart Broad said. <\/p>\n

However, New Zealand did recover to have England 6-129 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Zealand\u2019s horror first Test at Lord\u2019s continued on day two after a missed review and multiple dropped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-717364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
