Pitch Report:
Lord’s, England
This wicket generally behaves like an ideal test wicket i.e Pacers get good movement in the first session and after that batting becomes easier on this ground. In some test matches spinners also got some turn on the 4th and 5th days.

Overall this team is looking weaker than their opposition.

NZ Team Preview:
They are looking well balanced on the paper and will be favorites in this game despite their poor record in England. They will miss the services of T Boult but they have still potent bowling attack.
Their limited over star batsman D Conway is set to play this game. He has unmatched record in the domestic circuit and will surely want to replicate his limited over success in the longer format also.
