Let’s get into the Preview for the 1st Test Match between ENG vs NZ at Lord’s cricket ground in London. England are coming from just 1 win in their last 17 Test Matches and they have also struggled to fill out the Lord’s ground which sells for every test match. There is a new captain in Ben Stokes and a new head coach in Brendon McCullum and it will be interesting to see this pair at work.
On the other hand New Zealand are the reigning World Test Champions and they will be feeling confident as they had beaten in a test series just last year but the form of their captain Kane Williamson will worry them. It will be an evenly contested series.

The pitch for a test match at Lord’s is especially one that favors the fast bowlers and they get to have the most fun with it and I expect more of the same in this test match and batting will be a challenge in this test match.

The captain who wins the toss will choose to bat first because no one wants to bat last in a test match because any total over 200 will be a challenging total
