Tim Southee bowled New Zealand back into contention in the first Test against England with a dramatic burst late on the third day at Lord's on Saturday. At stumps, England were 180 for six in their second innings -- a lead of 205 runs. England were building a sound position at 159 for two when paceman Southee wrested back the initiative with three wickets for four runs in 17 balls. In all, England lost four wickets for 12 runs to throw the first of this two-Test series wide open, although their lead was now almost as much as New Zealand's meagre first innings 207.

England, after winning the toss, were bowled out for 232 by New Zealand on the second day of the first Test at Lord's on Friday. Jonathan Bairstow was last man out for 41, the innings' top score, after he was caught and bowled by Tim Southee. Seam bowler Southee took four wickets for 58 runs in 28.2 overs, including two wickets in two balls. This is the first of a two-Test series. jdg/lp

New Zealand took charge of the first Test at Lord's on Thursday, reducing England to 160 for four when rain forced an early close to the first day. England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and batted but his side rarely got out of first gear in the face of some accurate bowling by the tourists. Trent Boult was the pick of the attack, removing both Cook and Jonathan Trott after lunch on his way to an economical return of two wickets for 29 runs in 17 overs. Fellow left-arm seamer Neil Wagner then dismissed Ian Bell for 31 in the final session.
