Hindustan TimesDevon Conway became just the sixth player to hit a Test century on debut at Lord’s, with the left-handed opener brilliantly anchoring New Zealand to 246-3 against England on Day 1 of the first match of the series Wednesday. New Zealand's Devon Conway celebrates scoring a century during the first day of the Test match against England at Lord's The 29-year-old Conway was unbeaten on 136 to maintain the stunning start to his international career in all formats, making an array of shots, leaving well and showing a compact defense to blunt England’s all-seam attack under blue skies at the home of cricket. In between, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson chopped onto the stumps for 13 off the bowling of James Anderson, who was making his record-tying 161st Test appearance for England. It was New Zealand’s first return to the famous ground since losing the Cricket World Cup final there in agonizing fashion to England in July 2019.
