England vs NZ 1st Test: Joe Root, Rory Burns battle after Devon Conway double ton

England finished day two of the first Test at Lord's on 111-2 and trail New Zealand by 267 runs in the first innings after Devon Conway's double ton took the game away from the home side on Thursday (June 3). New Zealand were bowled out for 378 after lunch as England`s fast bowlers cleaned up the middle order and tail but they were left frustrated by number 11 Neil Wagner (25 not out) who helped Conway set his record score. Conway's 200 is the highest score on debut at Lord`s and the opener reached the milestone with a six over long leg. He nearly carried his bat but became the last wicket to fall when he was run out by mere millimetres. Here we take a look at action from Day Two of the first Test through these collection of pictures.
