Ollie Robinson dragged England back into the first Test against New Zealand with a stunning bowling display on day one at Lord's.

England were skittled out for just 140 inside 40 overs after Kyle Jamieson (5-62) starred with the ball, but Robinson (4-10) was in top form on his return, with the tourists 61-6 at stumps.

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bowl, which proved to be the right decision when Jamieson found the outside edge of debutant Emilio Gay (8).

Ben Duckett (19) was trapped lbw by Nathan Smith (3-38) after a rain delay, before Will O'Rourke (2-25) dismissed both Jacob Bethell (6) and Joe Root (1).

Harry Brook survived two dropped catches and a review for lbw on his way to 56, but Jamieson removed England's vice-captain and left the hosts in a spot of bother.

However, Robinson rose to the occasion, dismissing Devon Conway (1), Kane Williamson (0) and Rachin Ravindra (0) in his first over and the second over of New Zealand's batting innings.

Gus Atkinson (1-8) managed to eventually get the better of opener Tom Latham (3), while Josh Tongue (1-22) sent Tom Blundell's (4) stumps flying to leave Glenn Phillips (31) and Nathan Smith (6) at the crease.

Quite a start to the Test match summer...

Robinson spares England batters' blushes

After a hugely disappointing Ashes series last winter, the pressure was immediately back on Ben Stokes' side after they struggled with the bat.

Debutant opener Gay failed to make his mark, replacing Zak Crawley, and the reliable Root could not find his rhythm before being dismissed.

Jamieson was in inspired form for New Zealand, taking his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket since the 2021 World Test Championship final, though Robinson managed to snatch the headlines for England.

The seamer's triple-wicket maiden, in his first Test since 2024, saw England gain momentum and fire up the home crowd at Lord's.

He has now taken 80 Test wickets for England and needs one more scalp for his fourth five-for, and first in the longest format since 2022.

Nevertheless, there is still plenty of work to do for England, who have won just one of their last seven Tests (D1 L5).
