England thrashed the Kiwis by 115 runs in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the crucial three-match Test series. In this match, Conway could not make a big mark, as he managed only 1 and 41 runs at the Lord’s. The second test is scheduled for January 17 at The Oval in London.

Tom Latham drops big Matt Henry fitness update
Meanwhile, the New Zealand squad has been given a short break after the first Test at Lord’s. The players will regroup at The Oval for training before the second match against England.
There is some concern over fast bowler Matt Henry, who struggled with back spasms during the opening Test. The team is closely monitoring his recovery and hopes he will be fit and ready for selection by next week for the crucial second Test in London.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham said of Henry: “I think it's a day-by-day case with Henners. Fingers crossed, he keeps progressing the way he has from day one to where he is now [on day four]. We've got a little bit of extra time now to hopefully get him right, and then, fingers crossed, we'll have a full bowling attack to pick from again.”
Amid the crucial test series, England are dealing with the off-field controversy involving the captain, Ben Stokes, and fast bowler Gus Atkinson. Both players dropped from the squad after the late-night nightclub incident; Joe Root is set to lead the hosts in the second Test against New Zealand. Still, Stuart Broad backed Ben Stokes to lead England in 2027 Ashes.
