Photo / APThe Black Caps are heading back to play a test at Lord's for the second straight year as part of a three test series next June. The Black Caps, who are the reigning test world champions, will return having won a two-match series in England 1-0 this year and kick off England's home international schedule at Lord's between June 2-6, before matches at Trent Bridge and Headingley. It was a six year wait for the Black Caps to play a test at the home of cricket this June which resulted in a draw, most remembered for the remarkable double century on debut for New Zealand opener Devon Conway. New Zealand have only won one test at Lord's in 18 matches - a victory in 1999. The Black Caps last played at Headingley in 2015, winning by 199 runs after a second innings century from BJ Watling.
