Cricket: Black Caps at Lord's

From King’s Birthday Monday with Anna Thomas, 8:16 am on 7 June 2021

The first cricket test between the Black Caps and England at Lord's has ended in a draw.  The New Zealand captain Kane Williamson declared their second innings at 169 for 6 at lunch on day five to set England a victory target of 273. However the hosts never looked like they were batting for anything other than a draw, with England finishing the final day on 170 for 3. The second test starts in Birmingham on Thursday. RNZ's Joe Porter is in to chat about how it went.
