Root unapologetic as England salvages draw against New Zealand in first Test

The Hindu  

Joe Root defended his side's approach by saying the "series is very much alive" after England laboured to a draw in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson's enterprising declaration at 169-6 during Lunch on the last day left England with a target of 273 in 75 overs. New Zealand, in its first match at Lord's since an agonising Super Over defeat by England in the 2019 World Cup final, was missing left-arm quick Trent Boult, who only arrived in the UK on Friday after a period of family leave. New Zealand, who face India in the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton later this month, resumed on Sunday on 62-2 before Ross Taylor made a brisk 33 featuring two sixes.
