Debutant Devon Conway continued his impressive innings on the second day of the first Test at Lord’s and reached a marvellous double hundred with a six over square leg off Mark Wood. He became only the second New Zealand batsman to score a double ton on Test debut.
Conway hit 21 fours and one six to reach the milestone and powered New Zealand to a formidable score in the first innings of the Test match. He was supported well by the 11th man with the bat, Neil Wagner who played some fantastic shots to propel Blackcaps from the other end. In the end, Conway got himself run out while trying to steal a double at deep mid wicket.
Decorated by some sublime shots and immaculate concentration, Conway's innings was an ode to control. He attacked deliveries pitched into the stumps and survived the barrage of short balls bowled at him by England's express quick, Mark Wood. Conway took 347 balls to reach his double hundred.
For England, Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood were the picks of the bowling attack while Stuart Broad went wicketless and James Anderson picked up two wickets that included possibly the biggest wicket among New Zealand batsmen in the game.
