## Resource

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison and the former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney to look back at England's 115-run win over New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's. Did the condition of the pitch ruin the spectacle at Lord's? What can be done to avoid this happening again? How do England continue to get the best out of Ollie Robinson after a impressive return to International Cricket? How much regret will New Zealand have looking back at this Test Match?
