Lord's pitch overshadows England win over New Zealand
Will and Nick are joined by the Telegraph's Tim Wigmore to review England's win over New Zealand in their opening test match of the summer.Despite the result, the win has been somewhat overshadowed by the Lord's pitch after it took just 166 overs to finish the test match. We ask if major work needs to be done with the surface and if the home of cricket should be put on notice over staging future test matches if something isn't done to improve it.On the pitch, there was a sensational return for Ollie Robinson who returned to test cricket for the first time in two years, and there's praise also for Emilio Gay who batted well on debut under difficult conditions.Elsewhere, we ask how much of a concern Ben Stokes form with the bat is and what can be done to rectify it? And should Jofra Archer be an automatic selection once he is available again given the form of England's attack.And ahead of the start of the Womens T20 World Cup, we speak to the Telegraph's Sonia Twigg about England's chances this summer.
