Devon Conway continued his record-breaking spree in the first Test match against England at Lord’s. Conway, who had scored 200 in the first innings, was dismissed for 23 in the second but his aggregate of 223 runs set up a new world record. He went past Wessels, who had scored 218 – 162 and 46 runs - in his debut Test way back in 1982 against England. Conway also went past Matthew Sinclair to register most runs by a New Zealand cricketer on debut. New Zealand were 62-2 in their second innings at stumps on the fourth day, a lead of 165 runs.
