New Zealand's fielding maestro Kane Williamson conjured a sensational one-handed catch at third slip to send a struggling Ben Stokes back to the pavilion, highlighting a dominant opening day for the Blackcaps in the first Test against England at Lord's. The dismissal of the England captain, playing on his 35th birthday, was a key moment as the hosts limped to 118/8 before rain and bad light brought an early end to proceedings.

Earlier, New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and elected to bowl first under overcast skies, a decision that paid rich dividends as England's top order crumbled. Debutant Emilio Gay (8) fell to Kyle Jamieson, nicking to first slip, while Ben Duckett (19) and Jacob Bethell (6) also departed cheaply.
New Zealand's pace attack, spearheaded by the returning Kyle Jamieson and the impressive Will O'Rourke and Nathan Smith, exploited the conditions expertly. Jamieson, making his first Test appearance since February 2024, was particularly potent, claiming four wickets for 50 runs. The lanky pacer accounted for Jamie Smith (1) before delivering the crucial blow to Ben Stokes.
Stokes, attempting to rebuild England's innings, managed just 12 runs from 23 balls. He pushed defensively at a length delivery from Jamieson, only for Williamson to dive low and to his right at third slip, clutching the ball cleanly with one hand just above the turf. This breathtaking effort left England reeling at 94/6 and underscored New Zealand's sharp fielding throughout the day. England vs New Zealand Live Cricket Streaming Online in India, 1st Test 2026.

England's Batting Woes Continue
Despite Harry Brook's entertaining half-century (56), England's batting lineup struggled to cope with the relentless Kiwi attack. The home side, looking to rebound from a chastening 4-1 Ashes defeat, found themselves in familiar trouble, with only 45 minutes and 10 overs of action possible in the morning session due to rain. England's total of 24 runs after 10 overs was their lowest since Brendon McCullum took charge in 2022.
