England v New Zealand: Joe Root & Ben Stokes give home side hope
Root 77*, Stokes 54; Jamieson 4-59Joe Root and Ben Stokes gave England huge hope of a stunning victory on a gripping third day of the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.
England's turnaround began in the morning session, when they took three wickets in three balls to spark a New Zealand collapse of 6-34. In the case of Stokes, the captain evoked memories of the 2019 World Cup final, when he hauled England to a famous victory on this ground against the same opponents. With Jamieson causing havoc, Alex Lees shouldered arms to one that kissed off stump, Zak Crawley offered his trademark edge and Jonny Bairstow was bowled playing a booming drive. In between, Ollie Pope was twisted inside out in being bowled by Trent Boult.
Though Foakes only moved to nine, he offered determined support to Root, who sensed a weariness in a New Zealand attack missing De Grandhomme and accelerated late in the day.To have any hope of winning this match, England had to utilise the second new ball to restrict New Zealand's second innings, which began Saturday on 236-4.
