England had little to do with the challenge offered by New Zealand captain Kane Williamson's enterprising last-day declaration as the first Test at Lord's ended in a draw on Sunday. England, who have not lost a home Test series since 2014, were 170-3 in 70 overs when a draw was agreed. That left this two-match series all square heading into next week's second Test at Edgbaston. It also meant England ended a run of three straight defeats following a 3-1 series loss in India this year. This match was most notable for New Zealand opener Devon Conway marking his Test debut with a remarkable 200 in the tourists' first innings 378.
