The third day's play of the first Test match between England and New Zealand has been called off due to rain at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Friday. The forecast for the first two hours wasn't great and light rain started at around 2.50 PM IST (10:20 local time). Burns was unbeaten on 59 while Root had played a measured hand of 42*. Earlier, debutant Devon Conway's double hundred helped New Zealand get to a score of 378. England lost opener Dom Sibley and Zack Crawley cheaply to Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee but staged a comeback with a 222-ball stand.
