England thrashed New Zealand by 170 runs to win the first Test at Lord's on Sunday with more than a day to spare. New Zealand, chasing 239 for victory, were dismissed for just 68 in a second innings that lasted just under two hours with Stuart Broad taking a Test-best seven wickets for 44 runs in 11 overs. Victory gave England a 1-0 lead in this two-match series ahead of the second Test at Headingley starting Friday. Brief scores England 232 (T Southee 4-38, N Wagner 3-70) and 213 (J Root 71, J Trott 56; T Southee 6-50)

Man-of-the-match Stuart Broad routed New Zealand on Sunday but insisted "attack leader" James Anderson was the man behind a thumping England first Test win at Lord's. Fast-medium bowler Broad took a Test-best seven wickets for 44 runs as New Zealand were dismissed for just 68 in pursuit of a target of 239 to give England victory by 170 runs, with more than a day to spare.

Stuart Broad bowled England to victory in the first Test as New Zealand suffered a dramatic fourth-day collapse at Lord's on Sunday. New Zealand, chasing 239 for victory, were dismissed for just 68 in under two hours, with Broad taking seven wickets for 44 runs in a mere 11 overs. South Africa born duo BJ Watling (13) and Neil Wagner (17), who got to 10 with a six off Broad, were the only New Zealand batsmen to reach double figures in an innings that lasted less than 23 overs.

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.
